Natalie, thanks for the comment.
I am surprised that there was no advertisement painted on the side of that building, except there appears to be dry wall still stuck to it. Several cans of paint will make that building look brand new. That is all that I see now, is painted brick.

This is old.



I'm afraid I'll have to work on some mood shots to come up to the standard set..

Peter, that IS old!! WOW!

I LOVE farm equipment, well, the old stuff. So photogenic. The sewing machine is incredible, and the lock is great. So many more to comment on, which I will as I add more.

This is a pair of Lemaire opera glasses. The lens barrels are covered in real pearl, and the optics are amazing. Picked this up at an estate sale for a dollar or two. I don't remember the exact price. At the time I thought it was fake pearl.

It is actually mother of pearl or nacre. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nacre
Neat old stuff though.

I have a pair of opera glasses like that. They were actually my fathers.

Past the Expiration Date

Lorell, Michael, cool!!

The small town house we bought was built in 1912. There is a summer room that leaked at one time. It subsequently
took on an interesting patina. It is storage so no need to change it.

This is a double mulboard plough.

That is old and rusty.
How is your shoulder?

[Man From Ironbark]

My shoulder works, partially. It will take a while to get it up to strength. The orthopedic surgeon couldn't get one of the tendons back. Too far gone.
