thank you for that memory

 

i bought this pillow blanket (quilt) today 4 dollars , it has my sons name on it , so he gets it lol

 

Nice one!
I'm after the battleship ones.

 

this is my special cribbage board, it's carved of stone (Onyx maybe ) and measures 12 x 6 x 1 inches , and weighs 3.2 pounds . it had a couple pegs broken off in it but i got them out .

Pearlite. it is

 

Handcrafted , not hand carved...but it's an older one so the design captures the quality of Haida Art .

 

Pearlite is the company which sold this type of carvings,the mineral is actually Argilite,it is somewhat like catlinite/pipestone.

 

OH !!
Do you have that so wrong....so very wrong to even suggest that Lloyd's board is even in the realm of Haida Argillite

These are made to look like Argillite.....but that's where that ends.

 

I didn't suggest his was actually Argilite ,I gave the company information and the name of the actual mineral used for "real" carvings.The resin bonded pieces are much like the lava resin tiki "carved pieces.

 

Oh, it seems like you did !
& there's no mention any ' real carving' in your information.

maybe you were just not being too clear.............

 

and mass produced i suspect now lol

 

so i have gotten a report back form biro he says the white paint contains 2.72 % lead used as a drying agent but now he wants to do the age of the chair itself to prove it was built in the first half of the 20th century

 

so Henderson and ames took over the company in 1958 and as far as i can see they changes the logo to a copper coated plate that was riveted on the bottom , can you guys help me find Henderson, and Henderson and Ames logos through out the years
the second is my chair

 

trying to find a pic of the chair to upload

 

my chair only has six back rungs if that helps i have seen more modern ones with 7 and 5 rung backs and arms

 

and the bottom rung between the legs is missing i suspect it was broken (no saw marks) already before it was painted and maybe he recycled it from the trash ,and the logo is impressed

 

Here are some of my goodies from the weekend - a Strikalite Scotty lighter, bookmark with birds (maybe parrots), Blue Hornsea spice set, I've never seen the blue before, book shape match vesta and my favourite is the Halloween Fortune Telling Favor Cake Set - unfortunately it doesn't have the original box but all the pieces are there and it does have the little chart that explains what each favor means.

 

Whoa doggies, your "fortune telling" set takes the cake (so to speak).
