When I went to the Apple Harvest Festival (a big deal in these parts), I wasn't expecting to find anything I would want to buy. It's a craft fair and, even though I'm a crafty girl, I'm not big into "crafts." I like things that are hand crafted, hand made, not "crafts." Do you know what I mean? Well, in the little corner of one booth there was a small display of antique pieces. I found three unusual things that caught my eye.
The first is this metal plaque with the date Jule 30, 1947. Now, I'm not 100% sure of what this is, but it looks like a marker for a house stating when it was built.
What do you think? Any other ideas?
The second piece is a little more obvious...
It's a hat form. It's apparently a form that was used to make the slouched cap style that was worn in the Civil War. I don't think this form is that old, but who knows? Any ideas?
And this last one had me totally stumped and I had to ask the vendor what it was. Does anyone know?
Leave it in the comments if you think you know. We'll see if there are any smartie-pants out there.
Last thing, I want to say a thank you to Jennifer, Kate, and Laura for sending me even more sheet music! I was just sorting it all today and I ended up with one huge rubber bin, two boxes, and one small bin packed full of sheet music. There are some awesome ladies out there.
