This weathered metal tray was thrown away on the street as trash and catching some sunlight. I thought it was a baking sheet for cookies. But according to the experts, that's not the case. So it's just my imagination. :-)
I just found I was mostly right. It's a vintage baking tray for éclairs. :-D
Looking close on Friday theme: Clothes Pegs
Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker,
and all of them going to the fair.
The Dicken's Christmas Fair to be exact. It's a Victorian visual feast between now and Christmas at the Cow Palace in Daly City. It's well worth a visit if you're local.
This lady is technically a candle maker and not a candlestick maker, I guess.

This is the manufactures mark, cast into the surface of a cast iron cooking pot. It is 2 and half inches across, hence the tight crop.
Originally, the logo would have been pressed into the surface of a sand mould into which molten iron was cast.
This pot turned un in the back of a building I was clearing and after an hour with a wire brush and a tin of graphite based Grate Black it now looks splendid.
Archibald Kendrick & Sons set up as Iron Founders in 1791 and are still in operation in West Bromwich.

This is my makers mark that I stamp into my steel pieces. It represents ThayerHouse Forge. For reference, the "T" is 1/8 inch tall.
Shot in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.
Every year in January, in the days leading up to the festival of Uttarayan, the skies of Ahmedabad are filled with the merry cries of the kite-fliers chasing and cutting each other’s kites. The least celebrated, yet a crucial part of this are the manjha-makers, who make the kite string by coating it with ground glass with their bare hands. The lack of private workspaces has forced the string-maker onto the streets.
This picture captures the day and night-long toil of the thread-maker as he tirelessly plies his craft in a corner against the daily traffic of the city.
Photo of this bread maker was taken on the West Bank of the Nile in Luxor during one of my trips to Egypt during the 1990s. Again, is a scanned image.
Long exposure taken from a great spot at the Narrow Neck Peninsula in Blue Mountains. I loved the strange rock pattern in the foreground and loved the motion of the trees and clouds. To me the trees looked like a dream maker, weaving the fabric of the clouds and creating their motion towards me.
This plate is on a dynamo supplied by McClure & Whitfield for powering the projectors at the Brookfield Cinema in Poynton, Cheshire, in 1938. The translation - Mersey, I'm ready.
The Mersey Dynamo works of McClure & Whitfield appears to have originated in a foundry business called Cameron Pearson which was merged into McClure & Whitfield in 1892 and became one of the first electrical engineering companies in the world, manufacturing dynamos. McClure & Whitfield installed the first electrical lighting powered by one of their dynamos on the Embankment in 1897, it also supplied the navy through 2 world wars with steering and drive motors for submarines, surface ships and indeed for mulberry harbour. In 1946 the business partnership existing between David McClure and Robert Brotherton Whitfield dissolved but the business continued. The company still exists and is still a private company owned by the family trading as Piggott and Whitfield Ltd, based in the North-West and in the City of London, installing mechanical, electrical, control and data systems into commercial and industrial properties all over the UK and beyond.
Last saturday I visited a flea market and found this handmade lace collar which fits perfectly in my book The unknown maker ... happy days!
This 18th century house was designed for stocking makers; the long first-floor window giving maximum light onto their work. The weavers worked on frames often rented from a hosier. The carding and spinning was traditionally done by women and children.
In the 18th century when cotton replaced wool, the Tewkesbury makers used two ply locally spun yarn. Nottingham makers, who used three ply Indian yarn, sponsored “The Tewkesbury Act” to enforce labelling of “superior” three ply stockings. Nevertheless, Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire remained a centre of the trade until mechanisation ended it.
Information provided by Tewkesbury Civil Centre which has recognised the importance of this building with a special plaque.
In Cairo, Egypt there is a whole road designated for the tent makers. These people are highly skilled and very artistic. We were amazed at the level of detail in these pieces as they are hand made. We ended up buying the brown reddish one in the middle of the image.. It now hangs in our house as a reminder of this trip.
An event to celebrate crafts, engineering, science projects, etc. For and by all ages.All of these “makers” come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned. Maker Faire is primarily designed to be forward-looking, showcasing makers who are exploring new forms and new technologies.
Today marks the final day of the Unknown Maker project. This project started in spring 2021 and it started all with a stack of tea towels that were around 100 years old. All the items in the book were found in thrift stores, on fleamarkets or gifted to me. There are examples of crochet, knitting, lace, tatting and embroidery.
All the items in the photographs are hidden in pockets. These trimmings are hidden in the pocket with the green embroidered blocks.
There is a video of the book but it is too long to put on Flickr. Here is the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEKf2Mfn0dk
