  1. Love this photo Sis, old buildings are always so interesting!
  2. I think you nailed the last one, she doesn't want that picture taken. The other three don't seem sad to me, just serious. They're actually doing cartwheels on the inside! :-)
  3. Love the old photo's, your mind just has to try & put them in some sort of context. The one crutch really makes one wonder what the story is on this one.
  4. Thanks for the love lundy & Moonstonelover.
  5. Thanks for the love signaholic, you're so lucky to have met & worked with Linda. You here so many stories of celebrities that are difficult to work with, it's nice to hear that your experience was po...
  6. Thanks for the love on this beauty valentino97, mikelv85 & antiquarius.
  7. I remember seeing the free roaming herd in Yellowstone National Park in the late 70's, one of the few free roaming herds remaining. There are other herds in South Dakota, Utah, Montana, Northwest Te...
  8. She's a beauty!
  9. I love watercolours & agree with Jay on the subject matter & colour.
  10. Fantastic painting, I can just imagine them pulling that wagon across the fields!
  11. Thanks for the love & the kind words Sean, it's appreciated.
  12. Thanks for the love, nldionne, brat, pw & tony.
  13. Thanks for the love & comment Bootson. Our older family members would have been more likely to find these types of items due to the conditions in the 30's. Also they spent many hours in the fields w...
  14. Thanks for the love on these B'buss! Were the ones you found down in the south similar in shape? The first one has a pointed thin edge so would assume it had a more axe like use. The other two are...
  15. Thanks for the double love on these artifacts petey.
  16. Very interesting how things change over time, it's like they are written in a foreign language. Image # 1 "Don't get caught napping"
  17. Thanks for the love & comment Phil, I remember how excited we were to find these. In the 70 years that our family has been in this area only one arrow head was ever found & it went to Alberta with the...
  18. Did you get my emails?
  19. I'm not sure & I had to do some research just to find that info. One way to date it would be from the time period that Mobil sold upper cylinder lube.
  20. Upper cylinder oil was added to the fuel to protect all upper engine parts such as valve seats, faces & stems, as well as the upper piston rings & cylinder wall. I would think the sight glass on the ...
  21. Great picture Mani!
  22. I like the story of "The call that saved a plane".
  23. I hope you will post more, ther detail is incredible, love it! Can we have more please?
  24. Love the colour!
  25. Great image, love it!
  26. West Coast Native American symbols on the back of the cribbage board, thunderbird & a man. The round box is amazing, great find!
  27. I see she's enjoying a nice spring day in your garden! She's very good looking for a bride of her age! :-)
  28. Great image, you can still go for tea in the afternoon at the Empress Hotel.
  29. Very unique love it!
  30. Could you replace these pics with larger ones, they are too small to see any detail. It looks like a pattern for a sand casting, but not sure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_(casting)
  31. You made a grand entrance to CW with this fine collection! Come on in & show us what else you have!
  32. It's great to see such a nice building restored & preserved!
  33. I had trouble finding your link, you have an "s" on tiger. http://www.flyingtigerhistoricalorganization.com/ Looks very interesting & will take the time to read it later. I just wanted to point thi...
  34. Great image & story thanks for sharing! Welcome to CW & I hope you have more for us.
  35. Isn't she a beauty!
  36. I don't have time right now to search further , but you can check out this site on hallmarks. http://www.925-1000.com/index.html The first mark is makers mark, next one city of mfg. lion could be Bi...
  37. Like B'buss said, they are ground anchors, for those items that you don't want running or blowing away.
  38. That must hurt hugging a cactus like that.
  39. Google vintage silver calling card case & look at the images. If you can get an image of the hallmarks that would help identify it's origin etc..
  40. I wonder if it isn't a business card holder.
  41. what are the interior dimensions?
  42. Great gifts from the little ones, you must be a happy mother!
  43. My son was a member (2003 - 2012) of the 26th field Regiment as a reserve Medic, the 26th is one of the many Reserve & Regular Regiments that make up the The Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery. He...
  44. Sorry, I'm just like the weather man can never get it quite right! :-)
  45. Last week you told me it was too hot, so I sent some of that cold northern air just for you. :-)
  46. You're very welcome, you have a great weekend as well! You do find the coolest things in your travels! David
  47. Great car, I wonder how many of the original see through tops survived?
  48. Wow, nice find!
  49. Not old, but original design by Marty Mummert. He does nice work & at $2 I love it! Link http://www.oldwoodsigns.com/Automotive-51 Link http://mummertsignco.com/About-Us
  50. I have seen dressers or chests of drawers that had locks on all the drawers.
