From Montana
One morning at The Coffee Crossing in Livingston, Montana.
At a Gun Show where I had been taken to shop for my Valentine’s gift.
Didn’t find a gun.
Instead, found these Westclox “purse watches”.
2 3/4 inches in diameter by 5/8 inch thick.
Designed by De Vaulchier & Blow in 1934, they are part of the MoMA design collection.
Ten Dollars each.
They still work.

An old rancher’s solution:
The huge suspended boulder keeps this barbed wire fencing taut.
It compensates for changes in temperature, and insistent cows.
From Maryland
Found in a friend’s attic. Marked Hickok.
The Rochester New York based manufacturer Hickok sold belts from the 1930’s to the 1950’s, and packaged some of them in these plastic boxes.
The owner was the great nephew of Wild Bill Hickok.
From Montana
Found in my driveway.
A Great Shape.
According to a horsey friend – it is a reining horse shoe plate – back foot.
So that the horse can slide on it’s feet when asked to do a sliding stop.
How did it get in my driveway?
Bob and Lu’s again….
