when i was a wee lad just getting into backpacking i bought this book........http://www.amazon.com/Camping-Woodcraft-Handbook-Travelers-Wilderness/dp/0870495569

Written in 1906 it is filled with images and suggestions on gear to be had from Abercrombie & Fitch.


The author, Horace Kephart I later learned thanks to Ken Burn's The National Parks was pretty much responsible for the founding and formation of Great Smokey Mountains National Park. Which was the first National Park to be initially funded by private donors. He and photographer George Masa are the two to thank for this gem of a park.

Awesome, thank you! I knew I've seen stuff like that before but I had no idea what to search for.

Thanks again!

I tried but it's such a common and widely used design throughout the 20th century that it was pretty futile, you could probably find the answer in this book but I doubt that it's worth it. Chances are is that this particular model was made by a company called EKCO in the 1920s or 1930s. I'm only guessing that it was made then is because it just looks rusty but EKCO made that model well into the 1960s. So at least you know of the company that made it.

This is correct. Here is a modern version of the same tool

Edit: BTW, Goldblatt was making them basically identical to this "modern" version when I worked in a hardware store in the late 80s. The one you have is pretty old.

You are very close - it is a corrector tape for a late 80's / early 90's word processor. I had one back in college (specifically, a Brother WP1400D) - pain in the rear to use, but still better than using the computers in the library running WordPerfect 5.1.

That's a special A23 12 volt battery, not an AA. http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-A23-Battery-12-Volt/dp/B00004YK10

I had a coby mini tv about 5 inches b&w with a radio, something like this, and it had a very similar kind of adaptor for the antenna.

E:This listing on ebay shows the jack on the back of the unit and a similar adaptor for an f connector to it

Sounds like you're describing a remote meat thermometer

Tube Toys or Water Wigglies.

Along with anime - start with miyazaki's "howl's moving castle" or "kiki's delivery service".

From what I gather, it has to do with hacking computers. http://www.amazon.com/Rtfm-Red-Team-Field-Manual/dp/1494295504/ref=pd_rhf_se_s_cp_4_XYAH?ie=UTF8&refRID=1JBCRB3Q9672J44NKK9A

I dunno but I googled 150 years 1843 to 1993 and got this book https://www.amazon.com/Garrard-Crown-Jewellers-Years-1843-1993/dp/0704370557

It might be a hallmark token paper weight

I can really recommend "The Man in the High Castle" by Philip K. Dick, in which the I Ching (and other Eastern cultural influences) has become big in America.
