Bay 2 Breakers is a San Francisco "race" where mostly costumed people
take to the streets and enjoy celebrating the community of other theme
induced people as they traverse the 7 miles that make up our city.
If your breakers are really heavy and putting a hurt on your hand and wrist like mine were, I recommend th Bohle Silberschnitt glass breakers. All Aluminum, very light and breaks glass like a dream. I got these off e-bay for about $55.
The Ashley-Huber Coal Breaker ....in honor and in memory of those Seven to ten thousand "Breaker Boys" and men who once worked in the 134 foot tall, 11-story Ashley Huber Coal Breaker in Wilkes-Barrie PA. Originally built in 1892 and rebuilt 1939, these Coal Miners helped build an Industry, create what should remain an unforgotten era in our history and basically helped build America....BUT, now added to the list of just 1 of many of Pennsylvania's most disgraceful mistakes and disrespectful atrocities towards the states history, as on April 25th 2014 in just a manner of seconds Demo crews created a pile of what they deemed as more valuable as scrap metal, than they value in Preserving History. As instead of trying to save such a monumental piece of not just PA's history but America's history and a symbol of what was once PA's most economic value and their main source in providing jobs in PA as the state was once the heart of building supplies, manufactured materials for all branches of the military and THIS....man powered/operated extracted earthly minerals that were necessary for the manufacturing of what fueled American Industry....the leading supplier of Coal and leading provider of manufactured Steel that forged the Industrial Revolution.
At the time it was built the Ashley Huber Coal Breaker was the hugest most modern coal breaker IN THE WORLD capable of producing 1 thousand ton of coal per hour. The Huber Breaker Preservation Society who tried to save the Breaker and purchase it themselves was out bid in in the amount of $1.2 million in Bankruptcy court by Paselo Logistic LOCATED IN PHILADELPHIA a trucking company who's soul intention of purchasing the breaker WAS TO SELL THE STEEL FOR SCRAP. It is just heart breaking and disgusting to know that there is no moral value or intrinsic obligation in the world it seems in PRESERVING HISTORY unless money is made from doing so... and for the right price anything of any historical value or meaning can be sold.
So when people ask or wonder or question why anyone or as it has been given the name "Explorers" take the risks involved whether legally or physically...to venture inside abandoned and forgotten places....the answer is an example of this...where as it unfortunately seems to so many and to most in our society today....that money holds more value and weight than the preservation and appreciation of history... There are those of us who cannot be bought and willingly and knowingly risk legal consequences as well as potential physical harm to ourselves for any opportunities we find to visually capture and share and hopefully convey an appreciation by others to recognize what SHOULD hold more "weight and value" and meaning to what we view in life.....for those of us who explored The Ashley Huber Breaker or even anyplace we find that has been forgotten by time there seems to become a spiritual connection or even an addiction like a 6th sense we have to feed...to satisfy our this internal appreciation that we can't help but feel...in the intrinsic value of history of places we find forgotten by time.
We respect and admire how architecture of even places built 50 years ago were designed to be considered and often revered as a piece of art...and that buildings were created with not just the initial idea of what its "structural functional purpose" was going to be....but architects from past centuries, era's and even just decades ago designed structures from their heart with a creative passion and intentional desire for "their art" to be remembered, memorialized, appreciated and leave you with a sense of reverential respect.
And once inside these places abandoned by time....we are fascinated and many times even dumbfounded by the things we find that are left behind and forgotten or buried by years that have past....left neglected....left to rust, decay and layers of grime and we want to visually preserve a now forgotten memory and share what should be... its intrinsic integrity, the once initial purpose and the now historical as well as architectural value and of what most either take for granted or seem to be too shallow minded and or creatively ignorant to see.... passed the broken windows, the rusting metal, and the peeling paint ....of something deemed inanimate and hope our photograph will give it a voice once again, and will breathe a life once forgotten, and capture a moment so it becomes more than just a memory....because soon...one day...it will meet the same fate as the Ashley Huber Breaker...and it is sad to think and just know....it will always be money as the motivation and the presiding as well as deciding factor that determines what is of Historical Value...the only thing in life that will ever remain priceless are our memories....

Figure Description:
Breaker was one of the original figures released carded in the first series (1982). Like all of the original sixteen figures, Breaker was released with "straight arms".
A swivel-arm version was released carded as part of the second series (1983). The swivel-arm Breaker was available in stores in 1984 and was discontinued domestically in 1985.
The figure pictured above is the straight-arm version.
Variations:
Other than "straight-arm" and "swivel-arm" releases, no variations of Breaker are known to exist.
There are two versions of Breaker's filecard. The filecard with the Breaker available from Hasbro Direct has a glossy red backing, while the filecard that came with Breaker did not. Breakers included with the Sears or JCPenney's exclusive gift packs also had the red backing.
Body Construction:
Most of the 1982 series figures re-used molds from each other, repainted slightly to make them seem more original.
Breaker's head and arms were re-used for Clutch and Rock N Roll. Breaker's torso was shared with Grunt, Hawk, Snake Eyes, and Stalker (and in 1983, Tan Grunt). Breaker's waist-piece was shared with twelve of the original fifteen figures. Breaker's legs were shared with Clutch, Grunt, Hawk, Rock N Roll, Shortfuze, Stalker, Steeler, and Zap (and in 1983 Tan Grunt, and Tan Clutch in 1984).
When the new version of Breaker was released in 1983, two major changes were made to his construction. The straight-arms were replaced with arms that could swivel at the bicep, and his bulky waist-piece was replaced by a slimmer one. Also, the date stamp on the figure was changed from "1982" to "82-83".
Note that the figure's head only turns left and right - it does not allow the head to look up and down. The heads only turned left and right until the the swivel ball head that was introduced in 1985 (Series Four).
International Variants:
In Argentina, straight-arm Breaker was recolored in gray and available as Topson.
A version of Breaker nearly identical to the U.S. version was released in Argentina as Roger and in Brazil as Falcon.

It was modeled after the Italian Renaissance palazzos found in Turin and Genoa. It was purchased by The Preservation Society of Newport County in 1972 for $365,000.
