The Gems of Sharpless: October 23, 2013

-I believe the same person who made the male and female campfire sticks from last night made these metal figures.

-An old book written in what looked to be Czech or Polish. It was apparently owned by the Chicago Public Library, which means it was probably Polish.

-Longnecks! I have no clue what these were, exactly. Probably advertising inserts or something.

-The “C” on this Coors tray looks very similar to the one used by the Cubs.

-Hamms 1973 Oktoberfest steins.

-This was basically the Urban Dictionary on paper.

-Written on the back of this photo was this text: “William Bradley at his work in spinning factory Oldham, England. Circa 1910.”

-Welcome to Plasticville!

-A souvenir bottle from Dwight Eisenhower’s inauguration in 1953.

-A bottle of Fox Head beer.

-A cool little AT&T logo plane that doubles as a tape dispenser. The tail wings are actually handles for a pair of scissors that can be pulled out.

-A table of mannequin heads and wigs. Creepy.
