  2. 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. :)

  4. 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~

  5. 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.

  7. 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.
