Way off topic, do you save Star Trek cards? I've been trying to buy the 67 original cards. Boy, they've got expensive. I use to have a plethora of them as a kid. They have gone way up in price since the nickel that I paid as a kid when I was a kid. And to think that I use to flip them in the school yard.
I have an unopened box, but it is STNG. Only have a few original series cards, and those aren't the 67s.
amazing ..I love the revolver butt sticking out of his pants(and the tin of corn flakes )....another reason to collect coins: for their history and the sweat of past generations
I like the Post Toasted Frosted Flakes and Quaker Oatmeal boxes on his desk. If he could do that hard work on that diet, it can still be done today. Always something great to be learned from the past.
That is a great,....,great(to the 10th power or something) grandson. Still a cool picture - makes me happy I still have a healthcare plan. As some of us still work hard. Most people after 40 get overtime - me my pay starts going down.
And to think the picture is less than 100 years ago ...the post toasted flakes came long after Kelloggs made corn flakes what in the 20"s I also noticed the can milk box under the table ...pretty cool where did you find such a cool pic?
When this guy posed for the photo, I doubt he expected his photo to be posted on the Internet & discussed by a bunch of numismatists.
If your idea of working hard is sitting down to a nice pipe of tobaccie, sipping a hot coffee, and posing for photo.... please hire me, I promise I can do that HARD work for you
And you can't forget the Borden's evaporated milk under his table. It's good to see that Post, Quaker, and Borden's are still around today. -LTB
