[QUOTE="CircCam, post: 2871103, member: 85675"]I stopped at a local antique shop with the wife last month and came across this sheet music cover: [ATTACH=full]686155[/ATTACH] There was a huge room full of them, lots of great americana pieces. Evidently they are collectible. It caught my eye due to the obvious similarity to the half dollar and because it was dated 1912, well before its release. [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abe_Holzmann']On the composer's wiki page [/URL]it is listed at 1912 as well. [ATTACH=full]686156[/ATTACH] I found it to be an interesting piece and fun to speculate on how it could have influenced Weinman.... the cap style, flowing gown, presence of stars/leaves and the fact that she's holding something in her left hand are notable, beyond facing left with the outstretched arm. Figured I would share with the forum. [USER=36864]@Kirkuleez[/USER] - I had referred to this one in your thread... went back and grabbed it. ....and it matches my lunchbox, so how could I go wrong? :D [ATTACH=full]686160[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
