Mr Box Turtle and I were picking blackberries in the front yard. Hadn't seen the rascal in a while, it has been here for the 32 yrs that I bave lived here and he will likely out live me as they get to be 150 or so. Always enjoy seeing it. Check it's video out. The Muscadinevines seem to provide a challenge for him. .
The only clues that I have so far are these. On the back of one of the boxes there is some hand writing:
“Decoration Day Procession” which later became Veterans Day.
“Crematory”
“1898”

It's a huge Houghton Ensign Klito No.00 falling plate boxcamera from 1905, made of wood with embossed leatherette and very beautiful framed viewfinders. Two doors in the back to get out the used plates while the rest is still ready for action.
I have 4 framed glass plates with it and it's a brilliant system, load, take picture, slide the knob on top, listen to the falling plate and the next plate is ready.
There's room for 12 plates!
The 4 lenses can be changed by the 'smiley' to focus on 4 different distances: 3ft, 6ft, 9ft or infinitive.
Info says it's from 1905, but the logo with the English Marine Flag is from 1911...
Here's some info from the internet:
Houghton's Klito No. 00 falling plate magazine camera is made for a set of glass plate holders for a maximum frame size 11×7.5 cm. It has a conventional falling plate mechanism like drafted in the article about magazine cameras. As refinement it has a two part back door. The lower quarter of the back door can be opened separately to remove exposed plates.
On top it has a shifter to release the last exposed plate to fall onto the stack of used plates. The camera name "Klito" is imprinted on the box camera's carrying grip. On one side of the box is a metal frame that bears the camera's full name "Klito No. 00".
In the front are the lens, the shutter, and two quite big and nicely framed brilliant viewfinders, one on a side for horizontal and one on top for vertical image subject spotting. Below the finder ocular on the side is the lever to set the shutter from time to instant mode or vice versa. Below that control is the shutter release lever. In instant mode it opens the shutter when moved down or when moved back up. In time mode it opens the shutter when moved to the actual opposite position (up or down, depending on if its down or up).
The whole camera is constructed of wood, covered with leatherette. On the front it bears Houghton's typical little round Ensign bagde with the imprinting "Made by Houghtons Ltd London - British made".
Picked these up at Giant Eagle yesterday in a display in the aisle of the baby stuff. They also had a round one tier box like the square one that was a little smaller and (I think) had a built in dip container.
The box on the left was $3.50 and the "cereal container" on the right was $6.50.
They also had Diego, Disney Princess and Spiderman themed containers. Made by "Zak" and dubbed "EZ Freeze."
My wife and I are fairweather cyclists :-) I try to take my camera whenever we go and I take pics of anything that catches my eye. Here are a few I took on Sunday 9th of September 2012. All are in the Southampton / Eastleigh area of Hampshire in England Enjoy !
Mobile phones have sounded the death knell for the famous British red telephone box. Many are being removed as they dont earn enough money to pay for their upkeep. But it means... you too can own a red phone box :-) have a look at ebay uk LOL
I went out this morning to put my flag out and there was this Box Turtle in my carport. He hung aroung for a couple hours before crawling out to the yard.

I found a box of Spring Blossom Green corelle and Pyrex today at the thrift store. I asked if the whole box was for sale as one unit because there were no price tags. No, they were just putting it out. Well, I showed up at the right time!
I only took the 8 mint condition dinner plates, 2 serving plates, salt and pepper, margarine with top, butter dish, gravy boat, 2 qt and two 1 qt bowls. I left all the cereal and berry bowls behind. They were the only ones that looked a bit beat up. There was also a lot of Old Town blue there too. I grabbed the gravy boat, margarine tub with lid, and the sugar bowl because it had a lid! My first glass sugar bowl lid!
I also found 10 small copper filigree plates to match my dinner plates.
Great day at the thrift for Corelle and Pyrex!
This one is scratch built using leftover materials from other kits. It is representative of several platform mounted, hip roof signal boxes that could once be found on the South Maitland Railways. It is not exactly to scale and has been proportioned to fit available windows.
A series on what appears to be now an unloved feature on our streets – the phone box.
In the age of mobile devices how much longer will they survive?
When did you last use one?

This was one of many quilt tops I made and donated to a group which completes them for world relief efforts.

Brancaster Staithe, Norfolk. AA telephone box for breakdowns. Crikey I can remember when every member was issued with a key and the mechanics on their motorcycles with sidecars would salute members displaying AA badges on their cars. The only other surviving AA box I'm aware of is at Devil's Bridge in Wales
When I saw this little box I had to have it. It was the find of the week and for only a couple of dollars:) I think the little mushroom on top is supposed to be a pincushion.
Mechanically locking Thuxton signal box.
Annetts locks (ex-Brandon) for the long section and two short section train staffs being aligned before being fitted in position and Block Shelf (also ex-Brandon) fitted (later removed and remounted without the use of the low horizontal bar behind the levers as it blocked the electric lock tappets).
All Supertaster wine glasses are shipped in this break resistant gift box which holds 4 Delicious Stems.
I compared the box of my first generation iPhone to the box of my new iPhone 4. The new packaging is about half the size.
This is the box that the Disabled Guy built for my friends who play various historical sea captains at the renaissance faire.
Now, part of the discussion with me on what it had to look like (and I showed him photos of the previous box- which looked like a little coffin), he asked: "What if I made it look like a treasure chest?"
Well, here we are. This treasure chest is very light (I can lift it easily and today, I'm in flareup mode), and as solid as a brick. The handles are garage door lift handles (we discussed strength/comfort with someone who builds garage doors), the hinges aren't as decorative as he wanted (those were too big to fit on the box). The latch was pure luck (we spotted it as we were walking away from the hinge section at Home Depot). All the hardware is from The Home Depot and not a craft store, so it is solid and as well as decorative.
