I just found this in the cupboard.. with a note about 2005, so it is at least that old

Of course I decided to copy it using #ddrescue and my trusted external #cdrom drive

I had expected a lot of read issues, but one sector only failed and that was read on second pass.

Don't we expect cdrom 15+ years old to start failing?

Is anyone in the business of replicating old playing card decks?

I have this set I brought for £3 at an antique store a few years back. This set is from around 1901 to 1910 as that is when Edward VII ruled, so it is over 110 years old.

I have a replica 1860s set too a big difference between the 1800s deck, this one and modern era decks is the corner numbers. 1800s decks had no numbers. The numbers on this one are smaller than modern ones.

The J.I. Case Threshing Machine Co., founded in 1842, revolutionized threshers by building steam-powered machines out of steel, instead of wood.

I know literally nothing about farm machinery but these ghosts of the farming past can be found at the Rimbey farm museum, which is a favourite stopping over point for my many road trips to northern Alberta to visit family.

I tried to find info on this model online but couldn't confirm what type of engine this one was running on.

The first photo shows "Old Abe," a bald eagle who was the mascot of the 8th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment in the American Civil War.

Old Abe has a very interesting and lengthy Wikipedia page dedicated to him. That bird lived a full life!

Is that…fake stained glass?

Yes, I think it is. A slanted little church building in Aldersyde, with a slight attitude and a guard bird on its roof.
