They must have made thousands of these

Yet I can't find one on the innerwebs

Spose no one is looking for one either

 

a friend just stopped by to sell me these coins i have had my eye on

 

Nice!

 

This a lot of what I found today. An old hatchet that looks like it's older than dirt. The company started in 1923, so it's just old. The inlaid box isn't all that old either, but it's nice. The red rectangle is a hard plastic slide viewer. The little metal bits are a child's toy dishes from the 1930s. Not shown are a stack of negatives from the late 40s found with a drug store envelope from Maplewood NJ. That's the town my Dad grew up in. Weird. The greeting cards were in the same envelope and are all dated 1942 and 1943. I love the black Americana one, as politically incorrect as it is.

 

I love the old cards, they don't make them like they used to anymore.

 

If they did, someone would picket the publisher ... or sue them.

 

the estwing isn't that old.....but someone sure used it regularly !!!

 

It's...lived in.(LOL)

 

Estwing still makes those hatchets. There may be a way to determine actual age but I don’t know it.

 

Yes.

 

those look neat Lloyd! What are the Assembly of Treaty Chief coins?

 

love those cards evelyb30!

 

I concur!

 

Gotta love Estwing products, still well made - Mom has my Grandfather's hammer (he died in '61), and I've picked up a couple of others over the years, they're a pleasure to use, though none have that familiar feel of Grandpa's...

Stopped at a church rummage sale on Thursday, late morning after a doctor's appointment, but still came home with two bags of stuff for a whole four dollars - nothing of great value, but did find a little leather hat for a quarter, 1940 version of this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Boy-Scouts-of-America-1939-Leather-Hat-Merit-Badge-Show-/372045836518?hash=item569fa8f0e6%3Ag%3AhNEAAOSwcEtZkxrq&nma=true&si=UpSDAzFkOKX667TL9gimJiWOfYo%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Look what I found in my INBOX email!!! I get the 'NextAvenue' newsletter.....it's full of interesting stuff for 'seniors' and sometimes just anybody!!! I thought this was pretty clever, considering the TONS of inconsistencies in Funeral Costs: BTW.....Speakers ON and UP!!!!!

As for my "Find of the Week" - the orchid plant my son gave me for Mother's Day is putting out a new flower stalk!! Yippee! (I would post a picture, but I want to avoid giving a few men here any "opening." )
