This is a toothpick holder and my Grandmother had one! I found out they were made in the 40's and 50's and when I saw one at a flea market some thirty years ago, I had to have it because of the memories it brought back. You press on the woodpeckers head and he leans forward and handily picks up the toothpick for you. HMM!

The first thought I had for the theme #BackInTheDay, was the floppy disk which I still remember using when storing important documents for school work. Once I forgot to store it on one of this and had a huge loss of work.
Nowadays its so simple to have a small USB in the purse or even store online in clouds.
Despite this is so old-fashioned, i kind of enjoy memories of using it. Makes me realise how easy we have it nowadays.
A lovely Easter to everyone, HMM!
St. George Street Cafe - 10/31/21
Saint Augustine, Florida U.S.A.
*[quaint 'garden-seating' in the 'middle' of The Ancient City]
*[left-double-click for a closer-look - old brick cobblestone]
*[huge green elephant-ears! - small tropical green garden]
*[St. Augustine is the oldest city in the United States - 1513]
This little garden behind a quaint little shop on Saint George
Street has been rented to numerous different shop keepers
and their wares over the years. At this very moment it is a
gourmet-pretzel-establishment with a few little eating areas.
Sweet. What will it be next year? - Thank you for looking.
*[there is a cute little-old-cabin 'in the back left' that they have
now hidden with landscaping...but it's still back there! LOL]
*[probably the neatest and nicest it's looked in a long time!]
Once used to seal letters, which is not necessary anymore because of adhesive strips on envelopes respectively because the introduction of electronic communication.

Macro Mondays. This week's theme: #BackInTheDay
I remember clearly the days when the preferred mode of photography seemed to be Slides. The long wait before your slides arrived in the mail. Then the invitation of friends, snacks, drinks, the lights go out and the Slide Projector starts.... Good times. Images seemed to come alive on the big screen. I have heard stories about people dreading being invited to friends' Slide Nights but not me, I've always enjoyed them. I found this slide in the front yard! Brought back many memories. My own have sadly not survived the many country moves.
Long before sensors made their homes in modern-day cameras, there was this thing called film!
An expired roll of fujifilm shot with an old 50mm Nikon lens on Nikon D200. To achieve the magnification seen here, a 12mm extension tube was attached between the lens and the camera.
An inexpensive speedlight-clone was used to light this subject. It was held left of and a foot above the subject. At 1/128 power, it was triggered by camera's built-in flash in commander mode. A string of holiday LED lights hung inches behind the subject provide the bokeh hexagons!

Macro Mondays 'back in the day' theme.
Small brass weights from vintage scales which I hope fit the theme - anyway they do for me as I've used digital scales for many years.
Total width measurement of all the weights is 4.5 cm
For Macro Mondays theme; #BackintheDay
This is a 2 ½ inch portion of a “Carbide Cap Lamp”
The lamp was used by miners in the early 1900’s. The lamp cost $4.30 and the adjustable canvas cap on which it was hung was priced at $1.75
The lamp produced an intensely brilliant white flame from the controlled mixing of carbide and water. The lamps also had a self lighter attachment.
Many years ago we talked with an old miner, and he said that canaries were taken down into the lower chambers of the mine to warn the miners of a gas build up. If the canary died – the miners got out of there in a hurry. I don’t blame them since they had flames atop their heads. Thankfully we have headlamps with LED lights these days. A much safer alternative.
HMM!

Macro Monday theme: "Back In The Day" and I have about 5 of these in my possession. A Cassette Tape, it holds the voices of my children when they were very young. I don't have a way of listening to them now, as I have no player.
Macro Mondays Back in the day. This 27 year old walkman still works and reminds me of way back when they were the ultimate accessory. You did need a box full of batterys as thay didn't last too long ... :-) HMM
This covers three items;
Fountain pens are no longer in general use apart from official/ceremonial documents,
The practice of signing across a stamp to authorise an official document or receipt has not been common practice since the 1960s, and
Stamps depicting King George V ended with his death in 1936.
