The Banjo Pier in Looe, so-called because of its shape, was the first and thus the prototype for many other banjo piers around the world. It was designed by Joseph Thomas in the late 19th century and built by Daniel Taylor. The pier divides the Looe River on this side from the sandy beach at East Looe.
Looe is a popular seaside resort on the south-east coast of Cornwall. It still retains a small fishing fleet though the daily fish auction moved to Plymouth, about 15 miles to the east rather than in the fish market on the side of the Looe River. Hopefully, as things pick up after the pandemic the auction may return.

At the last minute, I decided to make a quilt for the silent auction at my son's preschool. Quilt is totally inspired by this. Okay, so maybe slightly more than "inspired." Maybe I mean "nearly totally lifted". But I loved the quilt, I had oranges on hand, and it's gender neutral. I hope CrazyMomQuilts is okay with this. Finished size will be 41"x52". I reduced my bricks even further, to 3.5" for the white and 3.5"x6.5" for the colors.

More than any other brand, Amilcar is inextricably linked to the epic story of cyclecars, which were all the rage in the early 1920s. The definition was simple: three or four wheels, two seats, less than 350 kg without accessories, and an engine smaller than 1,100 cc. The specific and advantageous tax regime, which was abolished in 1925, nevertheless allowed a large number of manufacturers and assemblers to flourish. Among the plethora of models produced, Amilcars quickly came out on top. The first Amilcar, the CC, was equipped with a 904 cm³ 4-cylinder side-valve engine and a 3-speed gearbox. It was followed by the C4 (long chassis) and the CS, which was a little more ‘sporty’.
At the 1923 Paris Motor Show, the CGS (Grand Sport) made its debut. This new model was a great success, both commercially and in terms of sport, thanks in particular to its 1100 cc engine; it would be the brand’s greatest success. The car illustrated on these pages is one of these CGS models, restored from an original chassis, running gear and body (photos attached to the file). It is equipped with an M-type engine and has been upgraded with a differential axle, braking system and original CGS 4-speed gearbox. In good working order and sold with its custom-made covered trailer and a large set of parts, this Amilcar CGS, upgraded with CGS parts, is perfect for getting started in cyclecars

Photo taken at the Hostetler Hudson Museum Auction preview in Shipshewana, Indiana on August 3, 2018. Eldon Hostetler had established a stellar collection of Hudsons and their associated marques, showcasing them in his museum here in the northern Indiana Amish country. He has passed away and the collection was auctioned on August 4. Many of the cars sold for surprisingly high prices.

Via Heritage Auctions: Del Shannon, Platters, Drifters, Gary "U.S." Bonds 1961 Biggest Show of Stars Concert Poster. An original cardboard window card advertising "The Biggest Show of Stars for '61 - Fall Edition" caravan tour touching down at the Municipal Auditorium in San Antonio, Texas on Wednesday evening, October 4, 1961. Printed by the esteemed Globe Poster company. A great, fun, hit-making talent line-up peppers this poster (you pretty much had to have a hit to join a BSOS tour).
It's funny how sometimes the songs listed on the poster were solid hits - Del Shannon's "Hats Off to Larry," Dee Clark's "Raindrops" - while others were wannabes that tanked - The Platters' "I'll Never Smile Again," Gene McDaniels' "A Tear." But almost everybody had an upbeat photo, a song title and some color... check out that bright Day-Glo orange from Globe, which sizzles under a blacklight. Here's your shot at a Globe poster that consists of light blue, yellow, florescent orange, white, dark blue (venue info) and black. That's six colors which really make this thing sing. Last time we sold a version of this poster, in July 2022, it notched $9,375. Measures 17" x 22 3/4" and grades to Very Good condition. COA from Heritage Auctions.
Literature: See Grushkin, Paul, The Art of Rock: Posters from Presley to Punk, Abbeville Press, New York, 1987, p.32 (illus.).
More Information: This is another in the series of wildly popular BSOS posters which had about a 10-year run from the mid-50's to the mid-60's. None of them are easy to find, however, so there's never been a collector who's been able to complete the set - they're that rare.
Here's our exact run-down of the song titles found on the poster:
Brook Benton "Boll Weevil Song" (the biggest pop hit of his career), The Platters "I'll Never Smile Again" (a #1 for Frank Sinatra decades earlier), Del Shannon "Hats Off to Larry" (Top 5 pop), Dee Clark "Raindrops" (#2 pop), The Drifters "Please Stay" (a rare misfire for them), Gary "U.S." Bonds "Quarter to Three" (#1 pop and famously loved by Bruce Springsteen), Gene McDaniels "A Tear" (Top 40 pop), The Jarmels "A Little Bit of Soap" (Top 20 pop), Curtis Lee "Pretty Little Angel Eyes" (Top 10 pop), Phil Upchurch "You Can't Sit Down" (Top 30 pop) and the Cleftones "Heart and Soul" (Top 10 R&B, Top 20 pop).
Condition details: Strong toning throughout is the main issue. There is also a nail hole at top center between the two big words, and a light brown water stain in the lower left corner area which is mostly seen in the margin and the Upchurch yellow oval, and not too distracting. The upper right and lower right corners have two-inch diagonal creases; color is not broken in the blue "M" but it is near the "T" of "Orchestra." Down in that corner there's a little tiny "61" written in pencil. The quality of the printing process is questionable in the Platters' faces right down through the Drifters' faces, the Jarmels' oval and then the Cleftones' name and photo also. Not damage, these are printer's flaws. And the verso has a few nickel-sized "tape lifts" from when it was once posted.

Grant and I visited the Hostetler Hudson Museum Auction preview in Shipshewana, Indiana on August 3, 2018. Eldon Hostetler had established a stellar collection of Hudsons and their associated marques, showcasing them in his museum here in the northern Indiana Amish country. He has passed away and the collection was auctioned on August 4. Many of the cars sold for higher than expected prices. This very elegant phaeton sold for $132,000.
Ray Chapin, President of the Hudson Motor Car Company, was appointed Secretary of Commerce by president Hoover in 1930. When President Hoover made plans to meet with Latin American leaders in panama, Chapin offered this special Hudson Phaeton for the trip. The car remained in Panama after the trip and was reportedly used as a taxi for several years. Eventually it was returned to the U.S. and acquired by Harrah's Museum. The car was purchased by Eldon Hostetler in 1994 and restored to its original colors.
