  1. We lived about an hours drive southwest of Fargo.
  2. Nice finds. Older members of my family used to find a lot of stone artifacts, where we lived in North Dakota, back in the 1930s when drought and wind combined to erode the land. It is fascinating to...
  3. That's makes raises it a level of magnitude on the "strange scale". Some kind of a weird whip holder?
  4. Looks like something is written on the inside of the band, can you read it?
  5. It's great see a collection with focus and presented with care. I seem to have all I can do sometimes just to stash like items in the same area. I think I fall nearer to "collector" than "hoarde...
  6. I would look hard at the Diamond Tool & Die company and see if this mark shows up somewhere in it's history. Maybe ask some antique tool collector sites.
  7. We had one too, loved to have his neck scratched and be "misted" with a water. He also loved to be out on top of his cage and would get surly when it was time to go back in.
  8. great picture of a boy in a sailor suite outfit and his dog, but what is the whip for?
  9. Thanks s for the loves toolate2, ttomtucker, miKKoChristmas11
  10. Sorry to take so long to get back to you guys, my email notification on this item didn't work. Thanks TallCakes I'll have to gather it all and get my black light out. I would dearly love to find...
  11. Good call there stefdesign. I used to do comps too in a past life. In the first studio I worked, the "old guys" referred to pastel comps as "chalks". By the time I arrived chalks were a thing of the...
  12. Thanks for the comment Manikin. Thanks for the loves mrmajestic, kerry10456, BELLIN68, mustangtony, Manikin.
  13. Mine is from Grandmother and Mom. Anyone want to do some trading? :)
  14. I have a bunch of this stuff too. What does a black light show and what does EAPG stand for again? I must have heard at sometime but forgotten.
  15. You didn't show the train ticket and photos. If the pictures were of an old flame before his wife, maybe that's why she threw it out. :)
  16. What a find! Is there something written on the right edge of the front of the lense board? Is it possible to take tintype photos today? Have you ever tried it?
  17. This photo is scanned from a 69 year old negative ... looks as good as if it were taken this morning. http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/52681-going-over-the-hump
  18. Your negatives have been developed and yes they can have prints made from them. Now that 99% of photography is all digital I am thinking it would be less costly and easier to manage to have them scan...
  19. My guess is W.C. Fields.
  20. Ok - I converted them and will post them
  21. I am not a rock expert but I would guess no.
  22. I also like paper and pictures and a mystery. If that were a meteorite found today you could sell it and buy a small country.
  23. Ok - Glad to help. Post away.
  24. I just "inverted" (made positive) your negatives in a photo editing program. I will post them post haste. You can copy them if you want and let me know when to take them off CW.
  25. I think this depicts someone gill net fishing. The sketch on the mat board must be the boat and the net strung up to dry. I don't know much about this type of fishing so I could easily be wrong. My...
  26. My guess is #1946 Oak. The frame looks like oak to me.
  27. I love unusual things and this is high on the list.
  28. Thanks Bellin
  29. Thanks for the love mustangtony. Thanks for the comments nldionne & Stillwater. ...that isn't Stillwater, Minnesota is it ?
  30. I can see this, in days gone by, as being a novel and sentimental ceramics class project. Looking at with modern mores in mind one could make a case for it being an artistic statement about life/deat...
  31. Oops, I just read the title so that answers my first 2 questions. :)
  32. Any clue as to what they are? Where did they come from? What are the range of sizes? I wonder what the screws are for. How much do they want for the rest?
  33. Thanks for the love petey, Manikin & mustangtony
  34. Nice job. ...and at 16 ! I also remember wading through quite a few "art projects" that were not very inspiring.
  35. Great Picture ! Hey your hat looks like it fits better than mine.
  36. Mom sold mine at a garage sale. :(
  37. Looks so much like my grampa's '55 I used to drive in the '7os. ...loved that truck.
  38. The kid is always there, along with the "others". Mwha-ha-ha-ha-ha
  39. OK I'm game.
  40. Fun to see, thanks for posting.
  41. Mani - seems to me Dennis the Menace had one too. Bellin - 50 years ago maybe. :)
  42. Thanks for the loves Blunderbuss, Bellin & kerry. Blunderbuss - it would be fun to burn some BP sometime, too bad it is a little more than an afternoon drive to your place.
  43. kerry - nice little Pratt & Whitney wings. Bellin - I often buy hats that don't fit. Luckily this is way way too small for my fat head.
  44. I also like wings.
  45. Hi toolate2, I do not know the legal definition of fedora but I would say it has kind of a vintage dressy western vibe. I think it looks good with just a little downturn to the front brim but it doe...
  46. Thanks for the info & link. I checked it out - great beanie ! I wonder how common they were then and now.
  47. It never ceases to amaze me, what people will throw away. If you get the chance, please show some of the other pins / charms on the hat. What do those wings look like.
  48. Looks good, any indication what ship it is?
  49. Sorry for not getting back sooner, seems my email notifications aren't working. Thanks art.pottery, if you remember let me know. Sunsh49026 I took your lead and looked at some Van Briggle but ha...
  50. Nice hunk of glass. :)
