I read that you have a hundred irons, and I thought "Me too". But you're making a great point about annoying tech surveillance, and I expected you to be an antique iron collector like me.
These are not all of my collection.
Ooh, I’ll have to give this beauty a proper scan soon — a double truck ad for Willys-Overland with art by Coles Phillips. Found in the June 1916 issue of The Designer. Almost 110 years old and look at that color!
Gasoline iron. Absolutely safe. Complete with asbestos pad.
Montgomery Ward catalog, Spring & Summer 1927
I went inside an antique store in a small town and saw a brass hose nozzle, and I have questions:
-Does the seller expect someone to buy this as a decoration? Or to actually use it?
-Why is it priced the same as a new one?
I mean, I could see this ending up in a thrift store, but an antique store is kind of odd.
If you had ever eaten at Bismarck’s Golden Dragon back in the day and wished you could take one of the big foo dogs home with you, you’ll be happy to know that one survived and is now at Bismarck Antique Mall. The whereabouts of the restaurant’s piranha is unknown.
Collection for a Cold and Rainy Day
These old bottles have been dug up out of our various gardens - from England, France and finally brought to Nova Scotia. Each one must have such a story to tell, if only we knew...!
Happy Monday, friends!
