This shot is of an old milk bottle from Dave's family business they had many years ago and also a replica of the old style lanterns they used to have in mines to show wether they had lots of oxygen or to much methane. I know lots of Brass but the lantern cover is glass. ( You guys probably know this but .....the light would go out if there was no oxygen and it would burn brighter if there was too much methane gas)
This last shot is a glass clock that Dave received from the Sullivan Mine when it closed down. All the employees received this item as a gift of the companies appreciation. The mine closing really affected this community. It was a mine that had run for 100 yrs and kept 100's of people employed.
Well guys that's it. I will check you all out later. Have a great day.
