The hôtel de la Marine (also known as the hôtel du Garde-Meuble) is an historic building located on place de la Concorde in Paris, to the east of rue Royale. It was designed and built between 1757 and 1774 by the architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel, on the newly created square first called Place Louis XV. The identical building to its west, constructed at the same time, now houses the hôtel de Crillon and the Automobile Club of France.

 

The Hôtel de la Marine was originally the home of the royal Garde-Meuble, the office managing the furnishing of all royal properties. Following the French Revolution it became the Ministry of the French Navy, which occupied it until 2015. It was entirely renovated between 2015 and 2021.

 

It now displays the restored 18th century apartments of Marc-Antoine Thierry de Ville-d'Avray, the King's Intendant of the Garde-Meuble, as well the salons and chambers later used by the French Navy.

 

A separate part displays the Al Thani Collection presenting international and inter-cultural works of art from the collection of Sheik Hamad bin Abdullah Al Thani.

In a frenzy I snapped pics of MONSTER *A*GO~GO when I found out that I was given two choices . One I could pay the $800.00 rent increase, which came without warning to a Landlord that wasn't a cool or even decent person or; Do better things with my dough like something for Fiona as well as buy more stuff like you see in the picture above. As much as I dug having a physical location to show and share my passion for all things Monstrous I got to bring the stuff back home where it belongs...and get to stay up late playing with it

The unusual staircase inside the Wellcome Collection, London.

In my student days, I had a holiday job as barmaid in Redcar. Clients used to ask us for the empty Dimple Haig bottles because the mouth was just the right size for sixpences. And recently I discovered that Swiss half-franc coins fit in nicely too. I don't have very many in my collection, yet.

This is for Macro Mondays, In a Bottle.

I stood it on the tin the gin came in.

 

Part of my glass insulator collection showing the variety of shapes and colors on display in five different lighted cabinets. I've been a serious glass insulator collector for nearly 50 years finding my very first insulator around 1967-68.

 

Glass insulators were first produced in the 1840's to support telegraph lines. Later as time went on they were used for telephone lines and power lines which included street lighting, street railways, trolleys, and interurban lines. Also used for fire and police alarm circuits and even electric fencing. Along railroads glass insulators were used for telegraph, telephone, signaling, and power use. Basically any electric line that was needed for support from insulators to prevent electrical leakage.

 

When there was no longer a demand for glass pin-type insulators In North America, the last of the glass insulators were produced in 1978 by the Kerr Glass Plant located in Dunkirk, Indiana.

 

Looks better in large.

      

A pocket knife out of Herbertz Top Collection, 523311.

This has seen some use...

 

It came with some accessories, a nice plastic transportation box and the depicted nylon holster - which is actually a useless accessory in Germany, because:

As this is a one-hand operated knife with a locking blade (liner lock, btw.), it may not be carried in Germany. It may be "transported" in that box, though.

I collect all things Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass & Lewis Carroll. =)

 

This isn't all of my collection, and all the stuff on that shelf isn't nessa-sarily related to Alice. But it's the majority. =)

A nice old chimney for the collection.

A collection of Hewlett Packard 15C calculators. From top left: an original 15C made in USA in 1982; a more used 1988 USA made version (one of the last original 15C's); China made 'Limited Edition' version made in 2011 (timed with the 30th anniversary of the financial version, the 12C); and the latest 'Collectors Edition' made in the Phillipines in 2023.

 

The Hewlett Packard 15C was the most powerful of the Voyager series of HP calculators. It was originally produced between 1982 and 1989. It was highly capable for such a small machine, programmable with numeric integration, root solver, matrices and complex maths.

 

Whilst its financial sibling, the 12C, has remained in continuous production since 1981, the 15C was dropped in favour of the Pioneer series of calculators in 1989.

When I was a girl my father and a friend of his used to dug up old bottles. These are a few that stayed with me.

I’ve been taking too many flower pics, so decided to put some of them together. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Somehow I have acquired a typewriter collection, lol. From the left...a resin typewriter, slightly large for 1/6 but still acceptable; a pencil sharpener also shaped like a typewriter, good scale for 1/6, has real paper that says Barbie on it; vintage Tammy typewriter from the Private Secretary and School Daze sets; 1/12th typewriter.

The carte de visite or visiting cards were the social media of the latter part of the 19th century. The cards generally measured 4 inches by 2 inches and consisted of a photo placed on a paper card. People collected and exchanged them. The photography shop often had an ad on the back of the card. A collection of 19th century selfies! HMM everyone!
