Memories. Αναμνήσεις.

Cast iron heating stoves. Μαντεμένιες σόμπες.
Silverware. Ασημικά.
Merchants and exporters of local goods commercial signs and trade marks.
Εμπορικά σήματα εμπόρων και εξαγωγέων τοπικών προιόντων.
Scales for weighting goods for exportation. The usual size of the container for the goods being exported.
Πλάστιγγα για το ζύγισμα των αγαθών για εξαγωγή. Το συνηθισμενο μέγεθος του εμπορευματοκιβωτίου με τα είδη προς εξαγωγή.
 Stencils used for container markings. Πατρόν για τη σήμανση των εμπορευματοκιβωτίων.
The family tree of Kaloutas' family dating back quite a few genarations.
Το οικογενειακο δένδρο της οικογένειας Καλουτά, που πήγαίνει αρκετές γενιές πίσω.

What a great post, Costas! I guess we all have memories that are stirred by certain things, places, sounds! How fun to be able to capture them! Thanks for sharing those memories! Enjoy your evening and the remainder of your weekend!

Very interesting stuff. I enjoy looking at and hearing about antiques. The scales look almost the same as the ones I used when I was in the navy. I guess I'm getting old. :)

What fun Costas. Each of us have things that stir our emotions and I too adore certain things from my many years past. I still have my stuffed favs and my little dresses that I wore as an infant. I also have many old and cherished books and such and treasure them so much. Enjoy your weekend~

I love those old stoves. The ones that first intrigued me were the porcelain ones in Germanic countries. They have a similar shape, but are bigger. I hadn't seen the metal ones until now.

I am always fascinated by museums and antiques. It is a little like stepping back in time to see how our ancestors lived.

While I like the silverware, stoves and advertising it is the engines and tools that are my favorites. The sculpture made from hand tools is really interesting.
