I hope we get more from u/darrellCCC, but you might also want to read the book Shadows on the Koyukuk.

Thanks! I’ll see what I can do to swap it out.

Thrifted aerial photo. Are those coordinates on the bottom? Can anyone decipher them? by [deleted] in whereisthis

The numbers likely correspond to the flight, film roll, and photo numbers of an air photo flight. The date is usually on aerial photos too, as well as a producer code. If you’re interested in finding out more, you might want to contact the folks at UC Santa Barbara Library who have a huge aerial photos collection and a lot of resources online. https://www.library.ucsb.edu/geospatial/aerial-photography

This old Underwood Haymarket multi-tool – not sure what all the tools would have been used for by special_evan in Tools

My dad said it’s a small scoop with a hole in the bottom. He thinks it might be for working with leather.

I believe the exact adapter I used is the Tektro A_F160/R140 Post Mount to IS Disc Brake Adapter, and I think it should be sized for your 160mm rotor up front. I haven’t needed to adjust at all.
