Received this little Bakelite beauty yesterday and really enjoying having it on my desk. Cable was still unwrapped as new, even has its original box, can't decide whether to peel the sticker off or not, almost seems a shame when it's stuck there all these years.
Awhile back I saw a vintage watch that had a calendar built into the expanding metal band. It was in the form of a paper tape with thumb wheel rollers at each end. The calendar was protected by a transparent window. Refills would probably be impossible to find but would not be that hard to fabricate using a printer.
5 days of Disneyland for the family to celebrate my daughter’s 5th birthday...I may need a vacation from this vacation!

925 Silver rosary.. Someone told me it is pressured amber but I don;t think so. I made some experiments I saw on the internet to see if its amber and it failed. What you think,does it look like amber? But still it is pretty!
Well, bought yesterday at Goodwill. About the size of a pie plate. I cut the old frayed plug and will be cleaning the movement. It's going to look great on my workshop wall.
