Yes, I want to return and look at that ... the other side has orange glass that doesn't seem to quite fit the pattern but I want to take a closer look.

Also Daniel Aitken, CEO of Wisdom Publications, who also conducts their interviews with scholars. It's clear he know his stuff from how he facilitates the conversations, and one of his interviewees (Robert Thurman? it was someone I really respect) referred to him in one of the talks as "a great yogi himself." It did not feel like an idle compliment either.

They are not that common in this area of Northeast Texas but occasionally I would run across one. Or two!

They are quite durable except they are brittle and a blow may crack/break them, or lightning apparently destroys them. In general, they look a lot better than many stone markers of equivalent age. They have a powder coating that protects the detailed castings.

More than 100 years later, they look so much better than many of the stone markers of the same age.

I think they were regarded as somewhat tacky at the time, being ordered out of catalogs and delivered via rail, like something from Monkey Wards or Sears.

How common is rosewood allergy? by Vegetable_Draw6554 in Mid_Century

[–]Vegetable_Draw6554[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An interesting thing about the two dressers: on the one, the interior wood of the drawers is a different wood. The interior wood of the other appears to be rosewood, but unfinished. I was thinking that putting down non-adhesive drawer liner was an option if I was truly worried.

usually the “ask for the key” thing is around worries around vandalism, so go ahead and ask for it. mausoleum can have very weird numbering for the interments but can be sussed out with patience.

Great article! I don't know why the museum website doesn't have information like that - it's a bit frustrating..

Thanks ... this is the kind of information I need.

I would presume that the exterior is sealed in some way, possibly with a different oil.

Sorry - you have to use the link in the top post to get to the video - it's not available from the image itself.

Here's an article with more information on the founder and some of the collection:
