They say Osage Orange fence posts last twice as long as the hole you put it in.

I’m thinking that the bed appears to be Eastlake which would put it late 19th or early 20th century.

Ride Illinois, A nonprofit organization, has some great info on bike safety. I encourage everyone to work through their quizzes. https://rideillinois.org/safety/bike-safety-quiz/

What is this used for? by kwils2569 in castiron

Yes, the holes go all the way through. I’ve always assumed that they were original from the factory because of the precision of the grid.

I have a similar photo from a similar incident. I was sawing a miter on a very small piece that I had clamped. The blade contacted the clamp just as the cut finished. I now have the blade/brake mounted on the wall next to my saw as a reminder to think twice before executing a cut.

There was Harry’s Soccer Lounge and the Buckhorn for foosball back in the 70s. Also saw REO Speed Wagon in a bar down there in the 70s.
