    Not mechanical here…..

    Yep. What it put me in mind of were fasteners for book binding, called screw posts or Chicago screws. Remember those 9" thick dictionaries in the library, that's how they're put together, also used in heavy ledgers...

    Not mechanical here…..

    Offhand Ronstar, a fastener for a ledger, like a modern day binder but instead of ringes, with 3 of these bolts to go through the hard covers and the stack of 3 holed papers held between.

    The other thing maybe... for delivering calves, but gotta hunch a bone setter is a better shot. Pretty cool, Guv.

    What is this thing... Not found with a detector..

    Yeah, not very strong looking for a bearing puller..... Think I've seen stuff like that before.... thinking for setting broken bones? Leg straightener for polio and rickets? Below is a frame they used for that. The mechanisms you got, Guv, would anchor on either end?... I gotta a couple books...

    Button identity

    Can you tell, is it letters at the bottom, the word "AIR"?... Maybe even FAIRY with the "F" and the "Y" worn? ...with the puffed cheeks and the breath of wind, I'm guessing it's "AIR" I looked for a match online but with no luck.... a nice little button, for sure. :thumbup:

    Button identity

    The style of the face is from a period in western art called the Arts and Crafts movement. Also the style of the letters, very typical of this period.

    Button identity

    From what I can see of the figure and the letter style.... the button would be from 1870 thereabouts towards the turn of the century.

    Button identity

    If you look close, can you make out the word AIR along the bottom, and a face with puffed cheeks blowing wind? A little hard to tell from the pic.

    Thursday Night Banjo Night.... broke a string.

    Get yourself a banjo, sasquache, and have fun! First banjo I bought from a gal who said it was her mother's. Her mother must have loved that banjo, cause it had grooves worn right into the neck from that lady playing it. I just followed those grooves with my fingers and plunked away and...
