Oh, cool. And... , so maybe a couple other Pats in the family tree, I'm thinking? : (been studying railroad and political development among other things to see how it affected development of newsstand distribution, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
october Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Good on you, Bob. Here's Pat & Pa, Admiral William L Calhoun, back in the precode days. Gone too long, but never far away. Wow. Are you related to VP John C Calhoun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markseifert Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Are you related to VP John C Calhoun? That was my thought also (his father's name was Pat, I believe). There's a Pat who worked with JP Morgan in the turn of the century railroad era too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Calhoun Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 JCC was my great great grandpa, & from looking at pictures we are almost doubles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Calhoun Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 My 30-year-older than me half-brother was also JCC, and after the admiral died in ’63, JCCCC just about saved my life by driving me up from Dago to LA where we discovered Cherokee. Thanks JCCCC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 The admirals get all the love not the lowly swabbies. My dad was stationed in Washington DC. His tough job was to take pictures at all the admiral's events. He took lots of movie starlets like Betty Grable, Rita Heyworth ect. Knowing him, I'm sure he had the time of his life until I came along and spolided it for him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Picked this up at a German flea market. Just really liked it. I think it is automotive related probably from the 1950's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Got this on FleaBay from a guy in Sweden. He wasn't sure what it was for but said it was an advertising piece. I obviously didn't care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Mr. Peanut 1930's wooden jointed counter advertising display doll. There was a convention of Mr. Peanut collectors in Philadelphia a couple of months ago. Saw a story on it in the paper. He generated a heck of a lot of collectibles.

Scrooge Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Another European flea market find from France. Probably 1930's Though found in France, it's possible it isn't french, right? I was trying to reconcile the phone number with the standard for phone number across years in France (Paris and provinces) in this summary of their evolution - http://www.bhpt.org/documents/numerotation[1].pdf and the simple 4-digit number is either foreign or the dealer knew that only locals would use the number and then didn't bother with the letters. Given that and the name, it's possible it's not french. I know ... I am putting too much thoughts into this. Neat piece. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
