Comment by Georg, Baron von Mannteuffel on May 29, 2013 at 8:46pm: I know what you mean about the price of brass - I also have a MK II Martini-Henry. 20 rounds of Jameson brass runs about $50.00.... If you're crazy enough to buy ammunition, the price is typically $5.00 - $6.00.

Comment by CoastConFan on May 29, 2013 at 8:20pm: Let me amend my statement upon reflection: it is among the first 2,000 shipped, which probably took place in very early 1888, a few months after adoption in 1887. I had to get up to look again at a reference. I also have a very late Snider carbine in .577, (last year of production) but it was over cleaned many years ago. Not a bad bore, but expensive to get brass since BELL stopped producing in Australia.

Comment by Georg, Baron von Mannteuffel on May 29, 2013 at 8:16pm: Hand loading for BP rounds is fairly easy. I have a Martini-Metford (.303) and reload low velocity rounds for occasional outings that focus on shooting Victorian era weapons

Comment by CoastConFan on May 29, 2013 at 8:08pm: MK I, first two months of production very low serial number made in 1887. Originally in .455 but alas modified to the clip system using .45 auto or .45 autorim. The cautionary note, however is that it is a black powder frame so no smokeless loads. The lanyard is most incorrect and modern. The originals lanyard were leather, I understand and now most fragile. I have a late commercial flap holster, probably for a Mk II or III, but is is brittle as well.

Comment by CoastConFan on May 29, 2013 at 4:27pm: Here's a photo I made of some of my tea stuff on the table, called Tea with Rose, note the red poison bottle and the revolver. High tea can get really high sometimes.

Comment by Ryan Grimm on May 8, 2013 at 11:58am: I have found a MOST useful site that directs you to tea rooms and tea suppliers in the USA:

We were directed to it by Sarah and Brad, the owners of FANCY THAT, a tea room in Brockton MA. Lovely people, nice to chat with.

I have been working hard on a steampunk theme project! 55 days in the making and over 130 hours spent finding tea to offer!

Comment by CoastConFan on December 6, 2012 at 3:41pm: A friend of mine (knowing my interest in the bizarre) directed me to a pottery site on facebook called https://www.facebook.com/graftonpottery and I found some delightful pieces, some of which are accentuated by found objects. My question to you steampunk tea drinkers is: have you ever encountered this with some of the more exotic teas?
