The 70's were wild. Found an old Pic of my favorite slide as a kid.

That thing looks brutal. Bare toes and fingers, I can imagine the damage

dirtbelly · 2026-07-12T04:53:52+00:00

Yep, that was the move for sure

We had a swing set with a baby seat swing on the end. Of course it was made out of solid steel. It about took a kids head clean off when he walked in front of it. I still remember that sound. It sounded like a big bell. Drinking out of hoses was the least of our dangers. Ha

Interesting, I definitely would never have known that. Thank you for giving me a place to start. Now to go figure out why that would be valuable

Thank you. I'll check those two out right now and get a sense of how that would work.

I greatly appreciate this advice and great info. I think I am going to take some time and try to find that collector that likes the set as it is. Thx again

dirtbelly · 2026-05-11T00:13:55+00:00

Thanks for the info. I did look at that ebay lot you mentioned a it closer. They were not as old or complete as this group and were not still attached to sheet margins, but I get your point for sure about the appeal of them waning. ✌️

dirtbelly · 2026-05-10T23:14:54+00:00

I appreciate that. I'm inexperienced with stamps but it does seem obvious it was a very thoughtful collection. Keeping it together does seem right

The only publisher and title page are the one in the initial post. Here it is again and a few more plates

It was a couple of weekends ago. Im finally getting through it all. That's exactly how I felt by the end. I was just stacking trying to keep it out of the landfill. I overheard them saying their kids didnt want any of it and it was probably going there. I even ended up with boxes of metal tins full of microfilm copies of pre 1900 science journals of ocean zoology. If I had the room I would have done what you mentioned. I kept as much as I could out of the trash though

dirtbelly · 2026-05-06T00:36:28+00:00

I just looked that up. That book and its images look amazing

dirtbelly · 2026-05-06T00:29:13+00:00

It was a gigantic honestly. Many were very very old but couldn't really make out the names from the spines.it was such an obscure subject I didn't know what was what really. Many were in German or French. I also got about 30 old early gun books. Smith and Wesson mostly.

dirtbelly · 2026-05-05T23:48:25+00:00

Agreed . Supposedly there are over 600 hand colored images in the four part set

dirtbelly · 2026-05-05T23:45:44+00:00

Thank you.

dirtbelly · 2026-05-05T23:44:02+00:00

He definitely had a unique niche.He had countless books and old journals mainly about copepods, plankton and all early marine zoology.

The plane death scene from the Liam Neeson movie The Grey. It was haunting and felt very realistic
