1952 Chevrolet Series 3100 1/2 Ton Pickup Truck
In 1925, Ford was the first of the Big Three to enter the pickup market, but it was Chevrolet that stood tall as Detroit's top truck-seller by the time of World War II. Chevy resumed civilian truck production in August 1945, and really got back to business in May 1947 with its new “Advance Design” pickups. Wider, longer and lower than the prewar leftovers marketed in 1946, the Advance Design models looked thoroughly modern and featured an equally modern “alligator” hood hinged at the rear. Beneath that gator was Chevy's proven 216-cid “Stovebolt” six-cylinder.
There were few changes as the Advance Design trucks rolled into the 1950s, but Chevy continued to sell more trucks than all rivals—even with Ford's new F-series models on the market after 1948. Notable updates included vent windows being added to the doors in 1951, and a restyled grille and trendy one-piece windshield appearing in 1954. That same year a much improved 235-cid six-cylinder was installed and an optional automatic transmission was introduced. Advance Design production continued briefly into 1955 before the era came to a close and Chevy’s new “Task Force” trucks were launched, and these last-run Advance Design models carried some Task Force features—accordingly, they are highly prized by collectors today.

Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge 17/10/2024 -- Hinges .
After a number of shots I settled for this one just because of the angle rather than all the straight shots . This is on one of three pairs of gates at the Entrance / Exits to The Mansion House in Leatherhead . There are a few more hinges in the first comment box .
As to the Mansion House , personally it has scarred me for life as the school dentist operated from here back in the 50s/60s and the mental scars of those visits , well do not do me any favours !!
The Mansion House has a bit of history to it so here is an abstracted article by the Leatherhead & Local History Society .
With the dissolution of Leeds Priory by Henry VIII, the original property was granted to the
Stydolf family of Mickleham and Pachesham and it was leased by one of Henry’s yeoman
falconers, Robert Cheseman. In 1588 Edmund Tylney, Master of the Revels to Queen
Elizabeth I took up occupancy. The Queen dined with him there on 3rd August 1591. Shortly before the Glorious Revolution in 1688, James ITs Chancellor, the notorious Judge Jeffrey’s,
came to the Mansion to see his dying daughter. The house was rebuilt in 1739 by Alexander
Akehurst in warm Flemish brick, well proportioned and evenly fenestrated with nine twowindowed bays.
In about 1846 Dr Thomas Payne founded ‘The Mansion Grammar School for Boys’ there.
The school was a boarding and day school for about 50 boys from 10 years upwards. He
taught the Jacotot system of education based on the principle that because all men have
equal intelligence received from God. The school continued until some time during the
1870s.
When it was sold to Herbert Reeves in 1922 it had 10 acres of grounds and a boathouse. In
1949, LUDC agreed with SCC to compulsory purchase the building for use as a public library
and health clinic. The building was also used later as a youth employment and careers
centre.
In May 2000 the ground floor rooms underwent restoration to become the Registry Office
and the library was moved to another part of the building.

Found these in my grandfather’s optometrist’s chest. They are part of fasteners used to connect the hingers of eyeglasses. Typically used for old style horn-rimmed glasses.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
A door along the Enchanted Trail near the entrance to Fairyland Caverns at Rock City. Old world style on top of Lookout Mountain was just too fun to resist.
A hinge is a mechanical device that connects two solid objects, allowing rotation between them. Hinges may be made of flexible material or of moving components. In biology, many joints function as hinges. They are also known as shangles in old tudorian English (the large hinges on doors)
