Stop in for a cup of coffee

I got the snow moved next to my truck. I just heard a avalanche and it is full again. :mob: :mob:
 
You know you're doing some serious welding when your welding gloves get so hot you have to throw them on the ground to cool off and put on others to continue the project :mad::lol: "Let Alex weld it. He can weld anything." :lol: In my dreams.
 
I will be doing a Bourbon tasting tonight through Zoom. I wanted to set up the laptop so the camera is just about right and the background you see is not cluttered. Here's where you can go to check your camera.

Rough guess early 1920s. That design was used on a lot of issues over several years. I can try to ID exactly which stamp it is after work. Is it a postcard?
It's a small envelope with another envelope inside containing two 'nickers' for cutting across the grain for dados.

Stanley also called them 'spurs'.

On the Combination plane there is one on the main section, and another on the sliding section which is easier to see.

In 1918 they got small teeth to create a rack rather than rely on friction to keep them from retracting. But of course back then they continued to offer replacement parts for the older models....

Wait, you have welding gloves?

Or the bucket of water next to you that you drop stinger in periodically to cool it down enough so that the handle does not burn you thru the gloves, when running heavy cover passes.

That too :lol: After undoing the quick connect in the on the stinger wire :rofl: Sometimes it just got tossed in a nearby puddle on the ground.
 
Wife bought some eggs. $6.99 for 18. Then went and spent $17 on deluxe bacon…

On second/closer look… by the size of print, it was printed by a flat plate. The perf looks like 10 all around. That makes it a Scott#462. First issued 1916.

I was looking at the lack of zip code implementation.. so between 43 and 63

Love this thread stretching my understanding

5 digit Zip Codes - Mr Zip! are 1963.
I've seen on line that City codes began in WW2 but with under 100 people, Thompson Falls Montana couldn't have had six postal delivery zones .

So I don't know what the Zone 6 is??
In Philadelphia my understanding is the zip codes incorporate the city code at the end. So Philadelphia 1, became 19101.

Then there's US Postal History page that doesn't show any year in the 20th century with 1 cent 1st class postage. ????
So another mystery.

Thank you!

At least we know it was mailed 1916 or later.

Would a small envelope have been considered post card rate?

How heavy is the snow?
I figured you get mostly light and granular, but just really guessing
 
This one is fairly wet, we don’t normally get the wet stuff till March till may.
