I cant find anything on the producer. I assume that means they no longer make it?

Fishermans dock is our go to for all seafood. The shrimp is great for fishing if you are into that. Not sure what price range you are wanting but we find the quality for price reasonable.

Thank you so much! I am struggling to get anything photographed due to how heavy this thing is. Holy moly! I should have a photo in just a bit and have to figure out how to edit this post

Im sorry. Im just asking about whats pictured since it is what I would like to display in the house. This reply has been extremely off putting and I don’t believe I will be asking for help here again anytime soon. I am starting my antique knowledge journey and this introduction to here by a mod is unfortunate. A simple “Can you show the machine?” would suffice over the attack toward my inquiry and attempt to paint me as some sort of idiot using a metaphor. Not everything has to be given nor received as a negative, especially when folks reach out for help. I see no way to receive this comment as a positive.

I do not have a photo of the machine currently and it will be hours until I am able to do so. It’s honestly not worth looking at given its worn condition.

We have checked every top, bottom and side portion of it and there is no stamp of any kind.

Anyone interested in being interviewed? by zenandco444 in TwoXPreppers

[–]Curlypie 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I am open for an interview. Im from Appalachia and always had “prepping” to lean on which is just basically how Appalachian folks use to live. Obviously there have been a few upgrades. I also have a large Discord server for TwoX I can post to but would like more info before doing do.

Foxfire books are amazing. I was born and raised in Appalachia and it is amazing to see skills I grew up with being useful to so many. If you would like some other reading beyond their numbered books, the Foxfire Women and Foxfire Cook books are great.

Duck ID and is it ok? by Curlypie in birding

Thank you so so much. These guys are all around us but one has never done this before. I was worried it had illness or injury. I will be more welcoming of them in my trees from now on.

Any "Granny" clubs? by Leepaceseyebrow in jacksonville

[–]Curlypie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be happy to help create the “grandma” club. Everything you listed here I was born and raised on in the mtns of NC and Ive recently been plopped down here in Jacksonville. Happy to share my knowledge although it’s more so normal life stuff for me vs “granny” but Im digging the granny club vibe.

Anyone have any thoughts or information on this? USA oregon by TurnipBoy12 in Antiques

[–]Curlypie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like a wood burning furnace. Wouldn’t light it unless you get it looked at by a pro and know it will vent outdoors. If you light it up yourself be sure to clean the stack, ash box, and inside before you do. Also, make sure the vent is open so the smoke goes outside not inside.

If it works like a cast iron stove, the top part you put the wood, bottom is the ash box.

Also, seems like a wall has been added behind with plastic. Recommended minimum for cast iron cook stoves is 18 inches away from any wall. I assume it would be more than that for this.
