I would probably eat much more frequently at Chinese buffets if I weighed myself on this scale.
“See? I’m not so bad.”
No.4 in my antiques series:
Ale glasses
Due to the interminable wars with the French, drinking French wine was seen as unpatriotic in the Georgian period, so better-off Brits drank strong ale instead. At around 10% ABV, this was drunk from conical ale glasses, capacity about 4 ounces.
The glass shown below dates from about 1790-1800. At 6 inches tall, it is a 'short ale', meaning it has a shorter stem than a true ale glass but a longer one than a 'dwarf ale'.

I came home empty-handed from today’s auction, but I did well on Thursday night. That haul is still in the garage to reduce its attic-fresh scent a bit.
A Skitler seen at tonight’s auction preview.
I wonder if anyone has made a Skump, Skance or Skusk yet?
Poisons and their antidotes, circa early 1940s.
This was the first I’ve heard of Paris Green, and it’s a doozy. https://www.ricentral.com/chariho_times/news/local_news/the-dangers-of-paris-green/article_b708ea20-1240-11eb-b1f0-a754a0cb66ed.html
Found in a small notebook won at this weekend’s North Star Auction.
I kinda-sorta wanted this 1947 FM 70-10 War Department Field Manual for Mountain Operations at yesterday’s auction, but so did two other guys. Alas.
As a North Dakotan, I’ve always been interested in learning how to operate a mountain.

But good new! It’s available on the Internet Archive so I can still learn how to make an improvised cableway for lowering command reconnaissance vehicles!
This reminds me of the story about the lady who complained to her doctor because her birth control pills kept falling out.
Not quite before pictures of the tool chest I am fixing.

This exquisite walking stick knob from Saint-Cloud, dating back to 1700-1724, showcases intricate decorative bands and a stunning rosette. What stories might it tell if it could speak? #Rijksmuseum #ArtHistory #Antiques #MuseumWonders

(1/3) I have lived, basically, across from the Magazine St. Antique Mall for a year. I have avoided going in. As suspected, it is packed with the kind of glassware that I was buying a lot of a decade ago. Today, vintage cameras and telephones #vintage #photography #nolasky #antiques
Antique tile with Bluebird on a branch. Available as wall art and fantastic products.

No.3 in an occasional series on antiques.
Jugs (pitchers) with a contrasting glaze to the neck and the top of the handle.
This style is associated with Doulton Lambeth (Royal Doulton from 1901) and the salt glazed jug with the green neck is a good example from 1902. My favourite, though, has got to be the blue Langley Pottery 1.5 pint jug (1930's) with the daffodils. I've never seen a blue glaze I like better. See alt text for more info.
