Looking for candy - original "Black Cow" on a stick

My Mother, age 98, is remembering her childhood. and is yearning for two types of candy, that may no longer be produced. If you know of an online source, I'd be very happy to "score some" for her. One is "Black Cow" on a stick. ( like a "Turkish Taffy ") it is a white round straight rolled paper sti...

Re: alphabetized list of Switchblades in Films

Stumbled across this on YouTube.
Tarzan in Manhatten . . . . romance/comedy (early George of Jungle theme)
He confronts hoodlums, makes them drop weapons. . .
I can see two black rizzys and a Johnson Smith catalog pewter claw handle dagger.

Re: "EvenStephen" Dodge

I recall the name "EvenStephan" . . . but I never thought of him a builder.
I certainly did not know he produced this level of art talent.

Re: Solinger Fahrtenmesser

In the link . . . the middle knife on the cover page.

I have a similar knife without the blade etch.
I chipped the point, and it is re-tipped. but it's subtle.
I can't recall the tang stamp.

I'm curious now. . . I have to get someone to dig it out.

Re: US Government to Ban Pocket Knives June 30th, 2009

I never understood the switchblade ban.
I grew up with a Marine Kabar, and a Machete, and a Sykes-Fairbaine Stiletto Dagger.

And my personality runs away from Drama. . .whether live in person. . .or in written form.
