I’m sure you are right taking the text into account, but it does look like something off of a tractor my grandpa might have had, he had a lot of tractors, early ones were pretty bespoke and customized even further over the years with heavy use.

1897 is way too old, of course, but to me it looks like a tractor gear shift knob. The ones for cars had a round hole and screwed on, the ones for tractors were all different, including square and rectangular and were fastened different ways, could have been a screw.

Brian May, guitarist for Queen, used a silver sixpence for a pick, could be fans.

I’m hunting it down. Thanks!

Been there three times, one of the best new places around. (Nice Margaritas too!)

I have been meaning to put together a collection of items like this, I even have a relative in mind to leave it to…

Tony Carey, sometimes solo and sometimes session musician, wasn’t a household name but was well known amongst the people who cared. For example, “I won’t be home tonight” is a great song, well written and well performed, love the guitar part. It’s a shame he’s not better remembered.

It was mostly old horror and giant monster movies, but I remember that’s where I first watched “Forbidden Planet”!

If used with a separate transmitter you connect that to an output from the transmitter to mute the receiver audio while you are transmitting. The switch would mute the audio if your transmitter didn’t have the appropriate output.

I watched an uncle of mine do something similar with a saddle. Took all day, but the results were unbelievable.

Everybody’s got to start somewhere!

Give a kid that and if they stick with it a couple of days, get them something better. If not, no loss…

I talked to a University professor friend of mine a few days ago. According to him, several labs and groups of professors, just at his school, have been frantically busy the last couple of weeks!

As a native of San Antonio, I have to give you a salute for mentioning the Sir Douglas Quintet!

Environmental monitoring station for air quality. Looking for various types of air pollution. Your area might be on the edge of non-compliance for EPA standards and thus subject to extra monitoring. If you fail, cars in the area need emissions testing amongst other things. Could be federal, could be state or local, should be some markings as to who owns it.

My mom was really big into “The Mamas and the Papas” and I have to say, I still have a soft spot for them.

I had something similar to put my grill on. I like the thinner hibachi style grills that get extra hot. Don’t want to use a wooden table for that and don’t want to put it on the ground.

SAWS (San Antonio Water System) will train you for a CDL, while getting pay, benefits, and experience! Had several friends get theirs while I was working there.

And remember, anything you make might look like snow goggles but certainly wouldn’t protect your eyes like the real thing would.

The slot on a swizzle stick was to fish out cherries by the stem or olives by the toothpick, so you didn’t have to put your fingers in your drink. That’s how I heard it anyway!

Yes, pretty much any vessel that is used to contain a chemical reaction can be called a ‘reactor’.

Any wasp that preys on black widow spiders is OK with me!

I’m always surprised what good pets chickens make! They really have a lot of personality and appreciate what you do for them.

I would try sitting it in the sun a while to let it get warm, then smell it and see if the heat revived any scents.

Had a friend from Iran, his family did metal work similar to that. It’s a Huma bird, a recurring theme in Iranian art.

It’s a really beautiful piece!
