Cart Marking showcases a truly unique collection of transport dating back from the horse and cart, to the latest, cleanest, greenest, and safest in use today.
The regulation of carts dates back over 750 years to the early days of The City with the ceremony of cart Marking evolving over time.
Today we bring all that history back to life with a modern twist. You will see vehicles ranging from handcarts and horse-drawn carts and carriages to steam engines, military vehicles and motorcycles. With historic, vintage and specialist vehicles – new and old – including the latest sustainably-powered vehicles on display.
The vehicles enter Guildhall Yard through the arch to be branded as part of this unique ceremony. As each one is presented, a commentator tells visitors about its history and relevance today. Once in position the Sheriffs, Master Carman, his two Wardens and the Master Glover, dressed in traditional robes will brand each vehicle with a red-hot iron, a ritual known as Cart Marking. It takes about two hours for all the vehicles (carts) to pass though Guildhall Yard, get marked and then process through again on a celebratory drive-past.
I saw this on Ebay. I found it curious the box is marked "Osuhr Oswald". They stopped marking thier clocks "Osuhr" many years before 1957.
Fairchild C-123B Provider
Serial Number: 55-4505
Markings: U.S. Coast Guard, Miami, Florida, 1972
On loan from the National Museum of the United States Air Force, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio
The C-123 began in 1949, as a design for an all-metal cargo glider from Chase Aircraft. It was designed from the beginning to be easily converted to a powered cargo aircraft and the first powered prototype flew in October 1949. Chase Aircraft produced five flight testing aircraft before difficulties within the company resulted in the Air Force canceling the contract with them and turning further development and production of the aircraft over to Fairchild in June 1953. A total of 302 C-123Bs were produced for the U.S. Air Force. In 1960, eight Providers were transferred to the U.S. Coast Guard. They were primarily used for logistics support, but also saw service in search and rescue operations. Two aircraft, including this one, were modified to assist in the development of the LORAN-C navigation system.

These new markings are intended to improve safety for bicycle riders. They are being used where neighborhood greenways cross larger streets
J. Michael Flanigan was the antiques appraiser. He mentioned that the reverse side of the hunting horn was covered in numerous Masonic markings, but he didn't bother to turn the horn over, at least until my recording stopped.
GUEST: It has come down in my family and I know that it actually came into our home when I was about nine years old at the death of my grandmother. And so I'm sure it was part of her estate. And I was told not to play with it, which meant I went and played with it whenever I could and became fascinated by all of the carvings that are on it. And I know they're Masonic emblems on there; there's a name and a date carved on there.
There are delightful pictures that are meant to, apparently, mimic Noah's Ark. And so I'm fascinated because this looks like a man's life.
J. MICHAEL FLANIGAN - APPRAISER: We know who made it because he says so. Very clearly here it says "R.H. Hurst's horn, cemented with love." Then it says 1826 here. That's very early as decorative arts in the state go. Now, if I turn it up here so that we can look under here, we're just filled with Masonic symbols. The arch, Hiram-- an important figure in Masonry-- the arch again in there. And on another side, even farther around, even more Masonic symbols. So he was clearly a Mason, probably a member of an early lodge. We have Biblical symbols in Noah's Ark. We rotate it round a little more, a ship, animals. And then what I really love, when we get round to this side, is we have a verse. And I think you can tell me a little about the verse.
GUEST: And I know that that is from a verse in the Bible. It says, "And the darkness comprehended it not."
APPRAISER: And it says, of course, also, "Victory and freedom." Tennessee was literally frontier territory, and they were not just worried about fighting Indians at that time; there was always a threat the British were going to come back, and certainly Tennessee, with their experience in the War of 1812, victory and freedom has real meaning in that context. But what's fascinating to me, and what's really important as an object, is we have this date, we have all this family history that ties it to Tennessee. If it were a powder horn, this would be capped and this would have a plug space. And it would have some sort of tie so that you could plug it off. Otherwise, obviously, the powder would pour out. So if it wasn't a powder horn, what was it? Well, I think it was a hunting horn. But what I find just amazing is that we have an enormous amount of high-quality decoration and engraving. All this is carved in here, too. We have the pewter mount. I've consulted with a number of colleagues; no one has seen one this elaborate with the mounting. Now, I know you really want to keep this in the family. It's been in the family as long as you know. So, for insurance purposes, I would insure this, without hesitation, for $10,000, $11,000.
GUEST: Oh, dear. Back in the lock box. (laughs) Thank you very much.
APPRAISER: My pleasure.
When they repaved 6th Street, for a short period the road markings were these cartoony hand-painted lines. Neat. 090805-29
Two Jeany dolls (by HP); the second one has been scratched off, but you can still see that it has been the same marking. I got the second doll NRFB and on the box it said "made in china"
SEPECAT Jaguar T.2A, registration XX833, in QinetiQ markings, previously part of the Aircraft Test and Evaluation Centre (ATEC) operation at MoD Boscombe Down and formerly 14 Sqn (AY) at RAF Brüggen in Germany.
Painting and markings:
As per usual, I rather stick to conservative livery choices for fictional aircraft, and since I placed the A-8 in Seventies/Eighties time frame in USMC service I went for a paint scheme adopted from AV-8As/early AV-8Bs with FS 34064, 36099 and 36440 - a very dark olive drab tone, a bluish grey (much like RAF Ocean Grey from WWII) and Light Gull Grey underneath. The landing gear and its wells became glossy white, the cockpit tub medium grey (FS 36231), inspired by contemporary A-4Ms. The propeller spinner and the blades' cuffed sections became black while the outer blades medium grey, inspired by the finish of their donor aircraft, the P-3 Orion. The exhaust area was apinmted with iron metallic (Rebvell 91) and then treated with graphite for a better metallic shine and burnt look. The iron bombs were painted in Olve Drab (Tamiya) and received details like the yellow twin rings by brush. Again, a tedious affair, with eighteen items to handle...
Decals and marking primarily came from a Sky Models 1:72 sheet for Harriers and AV-8Bs, even though it's a mix of markings from various aircraft so that the markings better match the A-8's airframe. Stencils and other bits came from thze scrap box (including an Academy OV-10D sheet), and the red warning lines around the engine compartment as well as the black wing leading edges and the silver joints on flaps and fin rudder were created with generic decal stripe material from TL Modellbau.
Finally, everything was sealed with acrylic varnish from a rattle can - not totally matt, so that light reflexes emphasize the aircraft's lines.
Ken Coughlan from An Garda Síochána came to Monaghan Institute tomorrow to provide us with the Property Marking Initiative.
Brett and Taylor put out extra route marking at the BikeMS. It was a lot of fun watching these guys work.
After lake trout are tagged and clipped, they take a ride out of the mass marking trailer down a long tube.

The markings on the abdomen remind me of a deer's hoof prints...
The webbing of these spiders is essentially in the funnel style, but it looks messy and net-like, even being different in the fact the silk often appears blue to the naked eye.
Used spray paint to mark location of the base bricks, so they could be moved for drilling holes, and replaced accurately.
This movement is marked:

Germany
and a number W68 8,30
Most of the older clocks also have a number carved in them. This one I couldn't read but a large owl had 8659 carved in its tail, the wood cat has 11686 carved on the bottom.
These strange markings visible only from the air are the terrain remains of a very old, primitive medieval castle.The round core was followed by an elongated bailey.
Marking on black is hard. I usually use a Hera marker, but when quilting black on black the best way is white chalk!
Taken 13/08/09. As the ashlar blocks of the facade are removed, course by course, each stone is individually identified and marked. These details are listed and also recorded on a drawing so that each stone can be placed back in the same place among the same neighbours when the repairs are completed. The stones are then stored, in order, in the old Reality warehouse further along Marshall Street.
The current plan is that the old Reality warehouse itself will later be demolished and the area used as a car park for events at Temple Works.
