Macro Monday Theme Back in the Day when the last thing
you would do before crawling into bed was set the alarm and wind it up.
Macro Monday: #BackInTheDay
7DWF, Monday: Anything Goes Theme
Width: 5 cm / 1,9 inches
Went to the German Museum of Technology to find something that has been outdated by technological evolution (other than my old calculator, some old tubes from my headphone amplifier or old quills I have at home). This is the pick-up head of an "Odeon Favorit" gramophone built in the late 1930s, designed exclusively for playing shellac records. In another section of the museum I found a box of (even older, ca. 1910) shellac needles which had to be changed after each play, because worn steel needles would otherwise damage the grooves of a shellac record. Those needles came in the varieties of "soft", "medium", "loud", "very loud" and "extra loud". Should you ever visit Berlin one day and the weather then happens to be as ghastly as it was yesterday, I can highly recommend a visit to this museum ;-) .
A Happy Easter Macro Monday, dear Flickr friends ;-)
Das gruselige Wetter gestern war ein willkommener Anlass, mal wieder das Deutsche Technikmuseum in Kreuzberg zu besuchen. Unter anderem wurde ich dort auch im Kleinen für das heutige MM-Thema "Back in the Day" fündig. Dies ist der Tonabnehmer eines "Odeon Favorit" Grammofons, gebaut Ende der 1930er-Jahre von der Carl Lindström AG und ausschließlich zum Abspielen von Schellack-Schallplatten bestimmt. In einem anderen Bereich des Museums fand ich außerdem eine Schachtel mit Wechselnadeln für noch ältere Grammofone (ca. 1910). Es wurde empfohlen, die Nadel nach jedem Abspielen auszutauschen, da eine abgenutzte Nadel sonst die Rillen der Platte beschädigen könnte. Diese Nadeln gab es in den Varianten "leise", "mittel", "laut", "sehr laut" und "extra laut". Wenn Ihr mal in Berlin seid und das Wetter so mies sein sollte, wie es gestern war, kann ich einen Besuch des Technikmuseums nur empfehlen. Nicht nur einen Besuch der Haupthäuser, sonden auch der Gebäude in der Ladestraße ;-) .
Ich wünsche Euch einen sonnigen Ostermontag und eine schöne Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde ;-)
Macro photograph of a vintage push in tin opener chomping a modern pull top tin can, the vintage tin opener is a Squire and Sons make, the Squire dislikes modern designs and recons this type will never catch on, and he want's it off his land!!!!
Just a little humour!
It was hard to open a tin can years ago, dangerous and awkward with those old push in tin openers.
Now it's so easy to open a tin can, just pull back the ring and pull up nice, easy and safe too, much better I believe.
Happy Macro Mondays .... Everyone ... Happy Easter too!!
Together again.

Of old things that pass.
The Voigtländer roots were founded in Vienna in 1756, by Johann Christoph Voigtländer. Voigtländer produced mathematical instruments, precision mechanical products, optical instruments, including optical measuring instruments and opera glasses, and is the oldest name in cameras. (Wikipedia)
This camera was released round 1911.

Rabattmarken sind ein Zeugnis vergangener Zeiten. Ich kann mich dunkel dran erinnern, daß zuhause von verschiedensten Läden Rabattheftchen und die zugehörigen Marken in einer Schublade gesammelt wurden. Es war immer toll, wenn ich mal einen ganzen Streifen anlecken und einkleben durfte. Rabattmarken verschwanden ebenso wie Tante Emma Läden in den 70ern.
Trading Stamps
These stamps from Edeka Kiel were valid until 31st March 1963. Trading stamps and the accompanying booklets vanished during the seventies.
For Macro Mondays "Back in the day"
Submitted for Macro Mondays on the theme "Back in the Day".
This manual typewriter was bought in 1984, and was probably close to the end of its generation when dot matrix printers became commercially popular. It was never used again after 1984.
A couple years ago, a friend of mine was asked to assemble a band for certain event, and I was the guitar guy. It was assumed, I suppose, that the band would take care of all the details of the music. And boy, was this a band. I know it sounds suspicious, coming from a member of the band, but this was as hot as they come.
But when it all came to pass, the awesomely hot band simply served as the backup band for a "lead singer" as it were. This was a surreal juxtaposition of talent and musical styles. An experimentation in musical opposites, if you will.
When it was all said and done, a VIP who was in the audience said to me, "that was like watching a Maserati drive in a parking lot. I responded, "it hurts my motor to go so slow."
Sunday morning when I saw this 'vette cruise into the parking garage and park facing this block wall, I remembered that comparison and chuckled to myself.

Macro Mondays theme "Back In The Day"
For this week theme, “Back In The Day”, the only thing I could think of was the Canadian one cent (also called penny). This currency was discontinued in May 2012, date of the last production. One of the reason was that the production cost was higher than the currency value. Actually 1.6 cent per penny produced. If you want my two cents, this was a good decision!
A Canadian penny measures 0.75” in diameter.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments

La Ciénega, NM 🇺🇸
•
El Rancho de las Golondrinas (The Ranch of the Swallows), is a preserved working Spanish ranch originally built in the early 1690's and is located in La Ciénega, just south of Santa Fe, NM. It's on the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro - The Royal Road of the Interior, which was the Spanish trade route that ran from Mexico City to the Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo which is just north of present day Española, NM. The ranch was an official stopping place for travelers on the route.

- A medical thermometer is used for measuring human or animal body temperature. The tip of the thermometer is inserted into the mouth under the tongue (oral or sub-lingual temperature), under the armpit (axillary temperature), or into the rectum via the anus (rectal temperature).
- Mercury-in-glass thermometers have been considered the most accurate liquid-filled types. However, mercury is a toxic heavy metal, and mercury has only been used in clinical thermometers if protected from breakage of the tube.
The tube must be very narrow to minimise the amount of mercury in it -the temperature of the tube is not controlled, so it must contain very much less mercury than the bulb to minimise the effect of the temperature of the tube- and this makes the reading rather difficult as the narrow mercury column is not very visible. Visibility is less of a problem with a coloured liquid.
In the 1990s it was decided that mercury-based thermometers were too risky to handle; the vigorous swinging needed to "reset" a mercury maximum thermometer makes it easy to accidentally break it and spill the moderately poisonous mercury. Mercury thermometers have largely been replaced by electronic digital thermometers, or, more rarely, thermometers based on liquids other than mercury (such as galinstan, coloured alcohols and heat-sensitive liquid crystals).
- The typical "fever thermometer" contains between 0.5 and 0.3 g of elemental mercury.
Swallowing this amount of mercury would, it is said, pose little danger but the inhaling of the vapour could lead to health problems.
The analog may not be dead and gone, but the company and even the state that produced this specimen is long gone.
P.S. The dust is authentic please do not attempt to adjust the picture. ;-)
Mouthpiece for KELLOGG phone.
Appears to be from the 30's and 40's. Carved on the front of the phone at the bottom ~ 2812H
Look at the first comment to see the whole phone.
Wrist watches and cell phones have all but replaced the old fashioned pocket watch chained inside your jacket pocket.
I used it a lot during the university years. Then I started working in a software house with computers.

Milk in glass bottles went the way of the dinosaurs many moons ago (well, there was no comet, just 'better' plastic containers). I kept one all these years out of nostalgia.
My entry for this weeks (2-Apr-2018) Macro Mondays 'Back In The Day' theme.
I was going to put a photo of part of a lichen covered old wooden telephone pole but they are not totally extinct yet (it's on my photostream before this shot)

WIT - I set out to find something to photograph in sepia that had a nice tonal range to it naturally.
I had quite a bit of fun with this one. These are squares from a quilt my Mom is working on. In reality they are very bright and colorful, but in challenge land they are sepia.
I've been checking on my parents house while they are on vacation and decided to peek into my Mom's sewing room for something to use as a backdrop. I spied the Dick and Jane quilt she is working on and deceided that was IT. I thought a speia tone would like nice on these "old school" images. The texture of the fabric is a plus.
I played around with different arrangments and even used some squares not finished. I settled for this one. I played around with the tone of sepia too. I do not have PS on the computer I'm using so I used some in-camera sepia and some converted online afterwards.
