We have plenty of them in Charleston, SC. Up north, y'all have to have sloped roofs for that snow nonsense. Here, many of the old houses have flat roofs where the ladies could go and watch for the ships to come in.

 

They came 1000 to a box and I still have one full box and one partial box that I am not using. The last time I priced them I think they were $30 plus shipping per box.
Check for yourself. I get a lifetime supply just reusing the ones that my purchases come in. They should be available by mail all over Europe and the US from coin supplies dealers.

 

Absolutely a railing and walk around the roofline of an early house mainly a hipped roof federal where the wife could go to look for her husbands ship to return (or not). I have one from a ca 1800 house in Topsham Maine stored with a lot of my other early architectural salvage pics were from when I bought it and I gave the guy a lot more than what he was asking

 

really?
I worked there from Summer of '68 for about a year, then to Roosevelt Field Gimbels.

 

jeffB, asked: "Fill me in here -- who did make him?"

His mommy and daddy made him. Unfortunately, the disagreeable fellow was raised by wolves.

 

I think most paper manufacturing still uses sulfur, but "the chemicals in" that paper have changed a lot. Chlorine bleaching produced toxic and persistent dioxins as pollution, so the industry has moved away from that.

The increasing prevalence of low-acid or acid-free paper probably also makes a difference.

 

Have you been talking to someone (Big M.) during the day?

 

Bingo

 

Sorry members

 

Oops good job

 

They did a lot of shallow pitched hipped roofs up here with the widows walks at times too. Especially popular in the 1780-1840 period. Which was the heyday of the shipping and whaling industry here My house has a rather shallow pitch though it’s a standard gable roof is about a 5 pitch. House ca 1785. Will say the shallow pitched roofs are good if the house is solid built to keep snow on for insulation. And they’re easy to work on

 

Outside or inside? I thought about doing this to a few coins. I have my brass signal cannons outside to help with building a patina on them.

 

A few homes in Brooklyn near the water still have the "widows walk". They look neat.
