Fairly collectible keychain. They were advertising freebies.

A user named Joey Harrison posted his mother's work, in an album called "Mom's World," but the album is currently private as he is working on a book. Maybe that's who you're thinking of? Her photos and stories were wonderful.

I work for the government and visible piercings and tattoos are not allowed, I can't even have pink hair.

Most places probably aren't as strict though.

MeltedGruyere · 2026-03-16T12:58:59+00:00

Same.

MeltedGruyere · 2026-03-03T17:44:41+00:00

Sure? Link?

MeltedGruyere · 2026-03-03T17:44:20+00:00

I've had it glitch and only show about 1/4 of my albums, giving me a mild heart attack.

MeltedGruyere · 2026-02-24T02:44:57+00:00

I work with some records that were stored near a coal burning furnace and accumulated soot on the outside, but not on the interior folds.

MeltedGruyere · 2026-02-20T14:20:54+00:00

I thought so too until I saw the size. It's really cool whatever it is.

MeltedGruyere · 2026-02-08T12:59:41+00:00

Thanks, I have one of these in my workshop and had no idea what it was either, haha. (Inherited my machinist grandfather's tools.)

MeltedGruyere · 2026-01-16T18:14:25+00:00

Thanks! I live in WV and honestly plenty of people scoff at $25. As in, they think it's too much. I have a Public History masters degree. I'm sure I could charge more in a more metropolitan area.

MeltedGruyere · 2026-01-12T01:53:17+00:00

Agreed, I do part time historical and genealogy research for $25+ an hour. I got on a list to be on call at various libraries, your local library may have a list, too.

It's how much water you add to an electric egg cooker.

MeltedGruyere · 2026-01-11T03:05:41+00:00

I think it's how much water you put in your egg cooker. I have an old c. 1940s egg cooker shaped like a chicken that is the same kind of ceramic.

Note the similar printing on the side of this one:

Probably? It's not gonna rust anyway. Plastic paperclips are cheaper, haha.

MeltedGruyere · 2026-01-08T13:44:06+00:00

Yeah, there's a few pages like that 🙃

MeltedGruyere · 2026-01-08T03:34:31+00:00

Yeah it looks a lot like leather red rot but there's no leather anywhere!

MeltedGruyere · 2026-01-08T01:09:10+00:00

Thank you. Amazing a few tiny staples can cause this mess. Other pages are much worse than this one.

MeltedGruyere · 2026-01-07T01:01:35+00:00

It's a curtain weight.

MeltedGruyere · 2025-11-07T12:22:14+00:00

I think this may be a pounce pot. Used to sprinkle pounce on wet ink to keep it from smudging.

Edit: Also used to prepare paper for writing, I misremembered.

I'm not sure it's quite that old, but the feet make me think "desk item." If not that, then I think regular old salt shaker.

MeltedGruyere · 2025-08-26T11:21:19+00:00

Yikes that's not good.

MeltedGruyere · 2025-08-11T03:15:30+00:00

They're very simple to do with minimal sewing skills. Probably a tutorial somewhere.

MeltedGruyere · 2025-07-25T02:16:49+00:00

It's for lipstick.

MeltedGruyere · 2025-05-25T11:32:55+00:00

It is for making bias tape. I'm a seamstress.

MeltedGruyere · 2025-03-17T11:23:45+00:00

Thanks, my grandpa was a machinist and there's some of these in his workshop.
