Coming soon..

The Edge will have their order of eelies and pencils shortly. Sorry for the delay guys I need to start having plugs in stock. 18 Pilgrims and a dozen eelies should be in the shop by next weekend.

bet they don't stay on the pegs very long, can I have that bottle plug?

[Left Hook]

Ha, figured someone would notice that. It's actually a Gibbs test plug. When they used to have the shop near the canal they would need to turn a few to get the machines right and those few were walked down and swam in the canal. Those plugs were then painted white and coated with varnish and then given to employees. A friend worked for them for a few years and has asked me to sell this one for him. It's hitting Ebay for $20 unless someone here wants it first. I think it's a pretty cool part of Gibbs history.

what time do i have to be there to get one of these famous eelies... do i have to camp out on the steps of the shop like people do when the new iphones come out!?

Pilgrims are all topcoated and drying. Eelies may go in the burn pile. I hate building metal lips. That is all.
