From the 1964 book “A Museum of Early American Tools” that I got from my Dad. Coming from a family of professional antiquer’s has given me the privilege of having old treasures like this handed down.

High-quality antiques are some of the few material items I will spend money and physical space on. Tools, art and books of the past inspire awe and creativity in ways that new consumer goods NEVER can or will. They’re also inimitable in the way they were manufactured and their material construction; a glimpse into times that’ll never exist again.

Beautiful! I’m fascinated by historical artefacts of any kind.

They are so cool! Apparently this is an artifact of unknown age from a monetary near the base of Mt. Everest. Supposedly made of ashes from volcanic eruptions and cremated humans. Lol no idea if it’s true but that’s what the old envelope I got it out of said. It was just in a drawer at my grandmas in a room she has full of antiques from grandpa’s hardcore treasure hunting day. Was literally labeled “artifact”. I keep it by my kitchen sink 😂

Wow! The stories are my favourite part or imagining the life they lived! Amazing stuff!!

I need me a war exe

Fuck yeah that’s a great choice. My Dad has a 200 year old hand forged broad axe and it’s one of the most badass implements I’ve ever held.

I’m going for a real samurai sword.

Oooh hope you post when you get samurai sword:)

I love axes, I always preferred them over swords 🪓
