My grandpa's getting well into his 90s, so he moved into a home awhile back. He didn't want anything in his large, old St. Paul home anymore, so he told the family to take whatever they'd like. I was sad because there were so many great things, including some beautiful and very large pieces, that we just didn't have the space for and/or way to good way to get to us. Below is one small thing I did take though. Grandpa used it as kind of miscellaneous drawer. One, it's a good sturdy drawer that wasn't prohibitively large. Two, I remember it from all the way back as a small child because I could never figure out what the hell those words/name(s?) meant. Cursory G##gle search brought no answers. Anyone have an idea?
Google "roll braid spool cabinet"
well, that was anticlimactic. nice work.
You stirred old brain cells until one of them said, "hey, that's a thin, two drawer like what thread spools were stored in." Are the drawers empty, or do they have spindles sticking up from the base? Also, looks like lettering is gone from the top right drawer.
Small divider on the left side of the top drawer, but that's all. I also wondered if something rubbed off there, but if so, just that section perfectly because the surface is fine.
This video is fascinating to anyone who collects baseball cards and wants to see a little behind the scenes, plus old friend...
Renowned astrophotographer Thierry Legault caught this outstanding image of ISS passing in front of the sun. He uses an extremely high-speed camera synched to a GPS antenna, and travels all over Europe to be positioned in the right place for the transit to occur.
Woah.
This guy is amazing. He also did this image of the space station where you can actually see an astronaut outside the station, during an EVA. Ridiculous.
He constantly amazes me how he tops his already amazing photos.
It’s amazing how far technology has gone since they faked the moon land king.
Today the local card shop owner told me he heard that Robin Ventura is petitioning the Rangers to take down the Nolan Ryan statue.

This is fantastic.
