RANDOM 341 OBJECT
HAND MADE BRUYERE PIPE, Mercury, VIKING GOD OF FLOWERS-$20
I guess there is a slight possibility I could be wrong about the identity of the guy whose image is carved into this pipe. Nonetheless, I go with my gut, and he looks like that FTD guy who, as he got older, gave up delivering flowers and became a Viking.
Since it’s obvious I know nothing about pipes, I’ll just show you some more pictures and call it a day.
RANDOM 341 OBJECT
14 RPPC Postcard DUST BOWL KS, OHIO WV TN Shirt Factory-$20
All but one of these old cards are in nice condition. I’ll show you the clunker when we get to it.
It’s a Duke’s Mixture, so there is bound to be a couple in there you like.
The government promoted the Homestead Act that encouraged folks to settle in the virgin prairies by constantly reinforcing a saying that turned out to be a falsehood: “Rain follows the plow.” I don’t think they lied on purpose. They were just unaware of what happens when you disturb the environment.
Today it’s different. Bought and paid for legislators have taken deceit to a whole new level. “Let the uber-rich pay little or no taxes, and they’ll create jobs.”

It has a bent corner and a small tear at the inner edge of the bent corner. Too bad. That one’s probably worth millions.
