My DH and I went out and about last Saturday looking for something to do I stumbled across a little festival in Hollister, Mo. So camera in hand I took pictures of the handy work and crafts of days gone by.......
these are a display of 1920's items
Look at this old Victrola - beautiful
My husband says these are old railroad tools
More tools!
The lady infront of "Cuddles" Is Nancy Ford. She is an expert in 1920's womens fashion as well as the womens lib act of the 20's. Nancy too is a pioneer of womens lib; she was the first woman to receive a wife initiated divorce. This was in 1973! Prior to her case only the husband was allowed to file. ( Nancy nor I advocate divorce but after hearing her story i can understand why she filed.)
Cuddles is a 1927 model Pontiac made by the Oakland Motor Car Company. Her body made by the Fisher Body Company, is sheet metal nailed onto a wooden carriage.
The seats are wraparound buggy seats with luxurious mohair upholstery, thus her name, "Cuddles."
The fuel is supplied by a Stewart Warner vacuum-gravity system and the gas gauge is a cork in the tank.
this man made this himself it is completely made of wood except the saw blade
see the detail.
this is one of his finished projects so beautiful.
We really enjoyed seeing all of the old time crafts. True craftsmanship.
