  1. Thanks for the date info dav2No1! And, ironically, Pius X, is the Catholic church just a few blocks from us. Thanks for the suggestion Tennessee123.
  2. Thanks for the in depth evaluation. The hood strap might help with the ID. Interesting horn, too.
  3. Thanks for the comment. The Buick 10 is probably as close as I'm going to get. Unless someone knows of a better example I'll be marking it "mystery solved."
  4. Thanks for your response. You're right, there are a lot that look similar. Thanks for noticing the detail. I took it out of the frame and someone wrote 1906 on the back; not sure if that represents t...
  5. My pleasure. I know it's frustrating not to get closure on a mystery. And thanks again for your help.
  6. Thanks for the comment. I've added a photo and description from the the Wm Johnson catalog that solved it for me.
  7. Thanks again!
  8. Thanks again for all your help!
  9. Thanks for the link. In researching further I came across Instappraisal.com where someoneone was looking for another Wm Johnson tool and an answer included a link to a Wm Johnson catalogue (https://ar...
  10. I couldn't find "report an issue."
  11. Thanks! I'll give it a try.
  12. Thanks for the link; an excellent resource. However, I can't find any Wm Johnson references.
  13. AnythingObscure: Thanks for your response. You see the Red Wing Union Stoneware mark on lots of vintage crocks, but I've never seen a mug with that marking before.
  14. Thanks again Scott!
  15. Excellent! The right "wing" matches the Philippines flag and the camapaign was 1944-45. I'll consider mystery solved. Thanks so much! Brad
  16. Agreed. I'd like to know its purpose. Here's a thought. It was a salesman sample on a chain with other examples.
  17. Just got the "Common People" excerpt confirming the blue glasses. I'll consider it "mystery solved." Thanks for all your insights!
  18. @ keramikos The end with the hole is open, but is rounded making it not possible to remove the rectangular piece of glass. I've wondered if the hole was meant for a chain.
  19. I just found an article entitled "Poole, the First World War and its Legacy" from the Poole Museum with this: "The stokers would wear blue-tinted glasses to protect their eyes from the intense glare...
  20. @ keramikos Thanks for help and references. The logo for the Swiss company and this one are different. (Although the logo could have changed over the years) This Junker logo looks a guy shoveling...
  21. @AnythingObscure That's what I like, creative albeit slightly warped, thinking. Thanks!
  22. Keramikos Great, entertaining response . Thanks
  23. Thanks Gillian for the reponse and patent research. Per my question I'd still like to determine what specific card game would have use for this. Thanks Collectables59 for your response and Whist an...
  24. Thanks for the replies. I was leaning toward a kazoo, too. Love the "professional model" suggestion!
  25. Looks like it could be, just missing the inserts. Nice finds. Thanks.
  26. You just gave me an "aha" moment. I have 2 crystal decanters and put them in it. With 4 it would look darn cool. See pics
  27. Thanks for the napkin suggestion. Could be.
  28. Yes, I did notice that.
  29. Thanks for the suggestion; I han't considered that.
  30. Thanks for the insight. You're right; filling it with something would be tricky. I've never seen one like it either. I wondered if the 2 circle design has any meaning.
    31. See more
