J'ai ressorti mon alarme de voyage du placard et c'est avec regret que je me suis rendu compte qu'il ne fonctionnait plus. Que cela ne tienne, son habit chromé me donne l'occasion de le montrer avec fierté. #Macro #MacroMondays #NumbersAndLetters
Macro Mondays ~ Fill the Frame
A dearly departed relative from my Mom's side of the family was a stamp collector. I can't believe the beautiful art and history attached to each one. If anyone could help me with a possible date of issue for these stamps, I'm guessing the early 1940's?

The Mille Miglia (Italian pronunciation: [ˈmille ˈmiʎʎa], Thousand Miles) was an open-road, motorsport endurance race established in 1927 by the young Counts Francesco Mazzotti and Aymo Maggi, which took place in Italy twenty-four times from 1927 to 1957 (thirteen before World War II, eleven from 1947).
Like the older Targa Florio and later the Carrera Panamericana, the MM made grand tourers like Alfa Romeo, BMW, Ferrari, Maserati, Mercedes Benz and Porsche famous.[citation needed] The race brought out an estimated five million spectators.
From 1953 until 1957, the Mille Miglia was also a round of the World Sports Car Championship.
Since 1977, the "Mille Miglia" has been reborn as a regularity race for classic and vintage cars. Participation is limited to cars, produced no later than 1957, which had attended (or were registered to) the original race. The route (Brescia–Rome round trip) is similar to that of the original race, maintaining the point of departure/arrival in Viale Venezia in Brescia.
Car numbering
Unlike modern day rallying, where cars are released at one-minute intervals with larger professional-class cars going before slower cars, in the Mille Miglia the smaller, slower, lower displacement cars started first. This made organisation simpler as marshals did not have to be on duty for as long a period and it minimised the period that roads had to be closed. From 1949, cars were assigned numbers according to their start time. For example, the 1955 Moss/Jenkinson car, #722, left Brescia at 07:22 (see below), while the first cars had started at 21:00 the previous day. In the early days of the race, even winners needed 16 hours or more, so most competitors had to start before midnight and arrived after dusk - if at all.

Macro Mondays ~ Old / New
My son found this little gem at a barn sale in Central Wisconsin this summer. The box alone is a great find..but it also had the original lure inside with the price tag of $1.00. Its called a Oriental Wiggler. I shot the tin box on top of an old bird house to give it a weathered vintage look.
HMM and Happy New Year!!

We stopped at the grocery store in Trumansburg today and I snapped this at the produce aisle.
