The 12/31/2018 theme for Macro Mondays is "Redux 2018"), meaning that I could choose any of the themes from 2018 and give it another try; and I have chosen Back in the Day. This is a ski sharpener, which was used to sharpen the steel edges on my hickory skis, back in the 1950s, back in the days before plastic.
You can see the whole tool in the first comment.
Vocalstyle Home Minstrel Series player piano "song roll" with singing instructions. "Shows you how to sing correctly." This is number 6 in the series, apparently from 1924, but I don't see any titles on it, and I don't want to unroll it and damage it further. It appears to be a collection of minstrel show songs.
Instructions include:
Solo Note Stars: Follow the STARS; they mark the melody.
Guide Line/Voice Line: As the voice line curves away from the guide line SING LOUDER. As it curves near the guide line SING SOFTER.
Breath Marks: Take a full breath at large mark. A catch or quick breath at small mark.
Follow the words and expression marks and sing as they pass over the openings of the note bar.
Back in the days when my father was a wedding photographer during the 1950s and 1960s he used this Paton Electrical Light Meter to determine the proper exposure for a scene. Today our cameras include a light meter for us to use. I think I'll clean it up with a couple of his original cameras and make a display of these treasures. HMM!!
The Walla Walla Creamery was listed on the 1889 birds eye map and in the 1889 city directory. (WA became a state Nov 11, 1889)
In 1904 “Cheese and Ice Cream Factory” was added to the description of the creamery in the city directory.
In 1922 the name of the creamery was changed to Shady Lawn.
In 1958 John Emigh sold the creamery business to Young’s Dairy which continued to operate at this location.
Apparently the sale to Young’s was never fully completed. In 1963 it was again called Shady Lawn Creamery.
John Emigh, Jr. died in 1985 and his widow Mary continued to operate the creamery until 1992. This business was operated for a total of 103 years in the same location, with 94 of those years by the same family. Mary died in 1995 and her son David and his wife Jill opened the Shady Lawn Antiques in this historic property in December of 1994.

A few people who travelled the Sea to Sky Highway, before it was called the Sea to Sky Highway, will remember this scene. The sail boat hull is long gone and the Custom House shack fell down in a wind storm last month.
Back in the day, and in my own mind only, this was one of my prize winning photos. It was taken some time in the late 70s or early 80s at Britannia Beach, Canada.
my wife's grandmother's childhood alarm from 1920's. back when you had to physcially wind the dial, and you could fall asleep hearing it ticking in the back ground. 100 years later , the thing still works.
Back in the day we used a View-Master which is the trademark name of a line of special-format stereoscopes and corresponding View-Master "reels", which are thin cardboard disks containing seven stereoscopic 3-D pairs of small color photographs on film. Happy Macro Mondays!

This was the badge off a car my father owned back in the 1950's. For some reason he attached it to a horseshoe. Armstrong Siddeley no longer exists as a company.

#BackInTheDay - Vintage teapot from the 1950s, this teapot use to belong to my great grandmother and she used it to brew Rooibos Tea on a "Wood Stove"
Back in the day we use to stand next to the tracks and wave at the man that always seem to know that we would be there. It's a shame we no longer see these behind the train. it's all about money.
Check out some facts here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caboose
Close-up of an old wooden telephone pole ('utility pole' in american). These are just about extinct now (at least in my town). Firstly, a lot of people use cell phones now, and don't have landlines. Secondly, all the power lines now run underground. And thirdly, any poles still being used are now concrete.
Note: not actually sure if I'll add this to the MM group as the poles are not totally extinct. I'm waiting for some clarification from the admins ...Right, decided not to put in MM - had a mad panic getting another shot taken and loaded in the last few mins before the group closed - WHEW!!!

Most every cassette tape I ever owned looked like this way more than once :)
50mm lens with 12mm extension tube.
The VGA connector had its golden age from 1987 to 1999. It was superseded in 1999 by DVI connectors.
Some computer systems, e.g. servers, still have a VGA output.
I wish you all a happy Macro Monday and a great week.
For Monday April 23 - any object made of “Plastic”
Sony 60 Minute Blank Microcassette Tape MC-60
The Microcassette is an audio storage medium, introduced by Olympus in 1969 - was originally designed to replace the Standard Music Cassette. When this didnt happen, they targeted the dictation market used mostly for recording voice. In particular they are used in dictation machines and answering machines. Microcassettes have also been used in computer data storage and to record music. What I learnt today is that in some parts of the world they were used in stereo hi-fi decks (Popular Science article from 1981) - Now I Know.
They are often confused with Mini Cassette but are slightly smaller (5cm x 3.5cm) OR (2" x 1 3/8").
Happy Macro Monday to all ...
The mill that stands today was rebuilt between 1878 and 1880.
It is also locally known as Gresham's Mill.
Victorian half gill measure. Pewter with VR (Victoria Regina) weights and measures stamp.
This is a small measure (71cl) not a tankard. It fits within the 3" macro limit.
It was normally only filled for a few seconds to the brim to measure out an exact quantity for sale. Not as a serving jug or used directly for drinking .
My grandmother might just have had her gin served at a pub using one of these.
In Victorian London gin was known colloquially as 'mothers ruin', Excessive drinking of gin led to the ruin of many poor working class women.

Soms kan er in een paar maanden een hoop veranderen.
Een verbodsbord kan al veel uitmaken😀
Sometimes a lot can change in a few months.
A prohibition sign can already make a big difference😀

Vintage Ice crusher from the 50's - still does a great job. Put the ice in the top, crank the handle and the drawer on the lower half fills with crushed ice. Simpler times. I had no idea this baby was worth something - had to look it up on e-bay just for the heck of it.
he was sitting on top of the chute above me while i waited in the arena for the next bucking horse to come charging out.
he was wondering why i was in the arena.
well, that's because that is where the "real" rodeo photographers were, to get the best angle.
yes, but the other rodeo photographers were men.
oh, i get it. girls don't belong in the arena.
pretty much.
he still had a great face, but i had only a moment to frame and shoot and only got off the one shot. then the horse came out.

According to wikipedia: A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents an algorithm, workflow or process, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting them with arrows. This diagrammatic representation illustrates a solution model to a given problem. Flowcharts are used in analyzing, designing, documenting or managing a process or program in various fields.
