Never Know Where You'll Find 'Em
« on: September 05, 2015, 10:20:01 PM »
Stopped at a little BBQ joint in Carthage, Texas (NE Texas, near Louisiana line) a couple of days ago.  They had an original Spencer hanging on the wall behind the counter.

The BBQ was good, but I'd sure have rather had the old rifle!

You just never know where they'll show up............

BlackPowder Burn,

Thanks for posting.  What was the name of the BBQ joint? . . . any chance to get the serial #?  Maybe next time you go in with historical information based upon the serial #, they'll give you free ribs?

Think I know the place you visited. Have family in Carthage (the Hutto family in Beckville). My mother is from Center, just south of Carthage. Let me see if one of my cousins can check the serial number or maybe later next month when we start planting trees on my farm in Shelby County, I can go check it out. Farm has been in the family since my great-great-grandfather settled on it in 1835.

Snakeeater,

Finding out the serial # would be great . . . and maybe find out what can be read at the top of the receiver . . . to determine if the Spencer is an original Spencer, or a Burnside Spencer ;D ;D

If I can suggest historical information about the serial # I will, . . . and maybe contact the "BBQ Joint" if someone will tell me the name of the place.

Two Flints,

Now, BBQ ribs... that sound like a good deal to me as well.
I hope it works out well for someone? Wish I could play.
My best,
