12935 Auburn 851, Supercharged Cabriolet.
This car was manufactured by the Auburn Automobile Company based in Auburn, Indiana. This company also build Cords and Duesenbergs.
The 1935 Auburns were acclaimed for both their art deco styling and outstanding performance. Their flowing design emphasizes the long hood and recessed radiator. In the deluxe models, the external stainless steel exhaust pipes indicate the presence of a Schwitzer-Cummins supercharger that increases horsepower from 115 to 150. Coupled with a
Columbia two-speed rear axle, this car can achieve speeds of 100 mph.
Unfortunately, the ongoing Great Depression limited car sales and the Auburn Automobile Company ceased production in 1937. Less than 50 of these cars remain
This former and now abandoned ceramic factory in the Czech Republic focused mainly on the production of sintered ceramic goods. In the first half of its existence, a wide range of articles were made, which often included art and craft elements in the Art Deco, Art Nouveau and Neo-Renaissance style. However, the factory is most famous for manufacturing sintered ceramic tiles. - What you see here is actually only the office wing, there are 4 factory halls, which are unfortunately empty now and therefore not so interesting.

Żyrardów - small town in Central Poland, located in the Mazovia region. It owes its unique atmosphere to the characteristic architecture of an industrial town. The original spatial layout of the community, which grew around a manufacturing plant in the mid-19th century, has been preserved to the present day. The historic center of Żyrardów (mostly buildings from red bricks) is the only industrial architecture complex from the turn of the 20th c. in Europe that has been preserved to modern times in full. The old settlement covers a 76-ha area in the central part of the town. Diversified architectural forms and styles characterize the city, which has resulted from the multi-cultural character of Żyrardów. The flax trade gave the town its origins. A factory manufacturing flax that was one of the largest and modern factories in Europe was established there in 1829. Karol Dittrich and Karol Hielle, two industrialists from Germany, founded the plant. The town derives its name from the first technical director of the plant, Philip de Girard who, among others, invented a mechanical flax-spinning machine.

Żyrardów leży w centrum Polski, na Mazowszu. Swój niepowtarzalny klimat zawdzięcza charakterystycznej architekturze miasta zaprojektowanej w połowie XIX stulecia. Zabytkowe centrum Żyrardowa jest jedynym w Europie zachowanym w całości zespołem urbanistyczno-architektonicznym miasta przemysłowego przełomu XIX i XX wieku. Osada fabryczna obejmuje centralną część miasta o powierzchni ok. 76 ha. Charakteryzuje ją różnorodność form architektonicznych i stylów, co wynika ze zróżnicowania narodowościowego mieszkańców Żyrardowa. Początek miastu dała fabryka lniarska, która powstała na terenie dzisiejszego Żyrardowa w 1829 roku. Była to jedna z największych i najnowocześniejszych fabryk ówczesnej Europy. Została założona przez dwóch przemysłowców z Niemiec: Karola Dittricha i Karola Hielle. Żyrardów zawdzięcza swą nazwę pierwszemu dyrektorowi technicznemu fabryki, Philipowi de Girard. Był on m.in. wynalazcą maszyny do mechanicznego przędzenia lnu.

a rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured circular arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the Sun.There are seven colours in the spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

First Nashunal Kid's Bank is not government insured, (They had no idea how to figure all that out.), so they needed to protect their money. And, we're talking serious assets. Casey alone had over forty bucks!
Enter the World Famous Watchdog, Snoopy. For all the root beer and pizza he wants, Snoopy lounges around in the bank all day and leaps up with a Snoopy "ARF!" anytime someone opens the door.
The youngsters are happy they can rest easy with this prime protection, and Snoopy is... getting a bit fat.
A win-win!

In our toy collecting, plush is not a strong point and that remains true for our Peanuts collection. The 2001 'Many Lives of Snoopy' series from McDonald's Japan is a plush series that we featured from 2020-2021. Because each plush figure was themed, it was easy to create specific scenes.

Also, in Japan we did pick up a nice series of small plush, about 16mm. These plush seem to have the same origin though there are different tags. The Law Label (The label that is sewn to plush toys containing copyright and materials information.) always has 'Peanuts' and a copyright for United Feature Syndicate. The cardboard tag labels vary with many carrying the 'RM' label. All of the plush were manufactured in Hong Kong. So, we think a Japanese company (Perhaps Nakajima Corporation) manufactured these and released them to various distributors.
Most of these plush have no distinguishing themes or names but rather standard figures released in a variety of colors.

Bliss Tweed Mill is a former mill for the manufacture of tweed. It is located on the edge of Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. It became a Grade II* listed building in 1980.[1]
The mill was built in 1872 for cloth manufacturer William Bliss, to make fine tweed cloth from locally produced wool. It was designed by the architect George Woodhouse of Bolton, who also designed mills in Lancashire, including Victoria Mill in Miles Platting; Woodhouse was also involved in the construction of Bolton Town Hall.
The main 5-storey spinning building is faced with local limestone and styled to resemble a country house, with square towers at each corner topped by stone urns. Unusually, a large chimney for the furnace to power the mill's steam machinery issues from a dome at the top of a circular tower built into one façade. The chimneystack is styled as a tall Tuscan column. Inside, the building is supported by cast iron columns that carry beams bearing brick vaults. An adjacent lower building was used for weaving the tweed cloth.
The millworkers went on strike for eight months from December 1913 to June 1914, over the right of workers to join a trades union, but the mill prospered in the First World War after receiving a large order for khaki cloth for the British Army.
The mill closed in 1980 and was converted into residential apartments in around 1988.
Bliss Tweed Mill
es un molino/factoria antiguo para la fabricación de textiles. Se encuentra en las afueras de Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, Reino Unido. Se convirtió en un edificio catalogado de Grado II en 1980.
El molino fue construido en 1872 para el fabricante de tejidos William Bliss, que fabricaba tejidos finos de tweed a partir de lana producida localmente. Fue diseñado por el arquitecto George Woodhouse de Bolton, quien también diseñó molinos/factorias en Lancashire, incluido Victoria Mill en Miles Platting; Woodhouse también participó en la construcción del ayuntamiento de Bolton.
El edificio principal de 5 pisos está revestido con piedra caliza local y diseñado para parecerse a una casa de campo, con torres cuadradas en cada esquina coronadas por urnas de piedra. Inusualmente, una gran chimenea para el horno que alimenta la maquinaria de vapor del molino sale de una cúpula en la parte superior de una torre circular construida en una fachada. La chimenea tiene el estilo de una columna toscana alta. En el interior, el edificio se sostiene sobre columnas de hierro fundido sostenido por vigas que sostienen bóvedas de ladrillo. Se utilizó un edificio inferior adyacente para tejer el tejido de tweed.
Los trabajadores de la fábrica se declararon en huelga durante ocho meses, desde diciembre de 1913 hasta junio de 1914, luchaban por su derecho a afiliarse a un sindicato, pero la fábrica prosperó durante la Primera Guerra Mundial después de recibir un gran pedido de tejido caqui para el ejército británico.
El molino cerró en 1980 y se convirtió en apartamentos residenciales alrededor de 1988.

Its main difference from Moskva-4 is added selftimer.
Earlier models of the Moskva were copies of the Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta C. Unlike earlier models, this model is a Zeiss Super Ikonta adapted form, rather than a clone and unlike the Super Ikonta, its solid top plate has a built-in rangefinder and a dual-format viewfinder.
Moskva-5 is the latest model in a series of cameras Moskva brand. Main difference from Moskva-4 is added self timer.
The Moskva-5 was undoubtedly designed as an expensive professional camera, and not as an amateur model. It was built in an age (1956–1960) when 35mm photography was already suppressing 120-film, and only professionals still insisted on using the larger format. Its dual-format characteristics, rangefinder and excellent lens and finish indicate professional use also. Apparently these cameras were used until very late (the 1980's?) by Moscow street photographers. More info:

Le Passage du Sphinx est un passage carrelé couvert de 120 mètres de long entre le bâtiment Eiffel et Pathé. Près de 30 000 carreaux font revivre l'histoire du Sphinx de Maastricht à travers des mots, des images et des objets.
Un espace pour le passé
Autour du bâtiment Eiffel, le Sphinxkwartier se développe rapidement pour devenir un quartier urbain moderne et dynamique. La restauration du bâtiment Eiffel est terminée et le Student Hotel occupe une grande partie du bâtiment depuis septembre 2017. Le bâtiment Eiffel continuera de fonctionner en 2018, avec de nouvelles fonctions résidentielles, commerciales et de vente au détail. En attendant, le passé n'est pas perdu de vue : avec l'ouverture du passage du Sphinx, la riche histoire du quartier a également trouvé une place permanente.
Le plus long tableau de carreaux des Pays-Bas
Avec un mélange, entre autres, de portraits de famille, de bâtiments d'usine, de décorations de vaisselle, de vieilles publicités et de cuvettes de toilettes, les tableaux de carreaux racontent l'histoire du Sphinx et de l'industrie céramique de Maastricht en 26 chapitres. Chaque tableau est accompagné d'une histoire de fond (en néerlandais et en anglais), écrite par les historiens Jac van den Boogaard et Paul Arnold. De la fondation de la manufacture du Sphinx par Petrus Regout à sa fermeture en plein centre-ville, le Passage du Sphinx offre aux visiteurs un aperçu unique de l'histoire de l'industrie céramique de Maastricht. Long de 120 mètres, il est le plus long passage couvert de tableaux de faïence des Pays-Bas.
The Sphinx Passage is a 120-meter-long covered tiled passageway between the Eiffel Building and Pathé. Nearly 30,000 tiles bring the history of the Maastricht Sphinx to life through words, images, and objects.
A space for the past
Around the Eiffel Building, the Sphinxkwartier is rapidly developing into a modern and vibrant urban neighborhood. The restoration of the Eiffel Building is complete, and the Student Hotel has occupied a large part of the building since September 2017. The Eiffel Building will continue to operate in 2018, with new residential, commercial, and retail functions. Meanwhile, the past is not lost on us: with the opening of the Sphinx Passage, the neighborhood's rich history has also found a permanent home. The longest tile painting in the Netherlands
Featuring a mix of family portraits, factory buildings, crockery decorations, old advertisements, and toilet bowls, among other things, the tile paintings tell the story of the Sphinx and Maastricht's ceramic industry in 26 chapters. Each painting is accompanied by a background story (in Dutch and English), written by historians Jac van den Boogaard and Paul Arnold. From the founding of the Sphinx factory by Petrus Regout to its closure in the city center, the Sphinx Passage offers visitors a unique insight into the history of Maastricht's ceramic industry. At 120 meters long, it is the longest tile painting passage in the Netherlands.

Swine flu from Mexico, news of manufacturing plant scandals that made it back to the U.S., SARS 1 pandemic from China, SARS 2 from China, tariffs, a trade war turning into a cold war, the worldwide Covid pandemic from Wuhan of 2020-2021 that crippled the economy, which nearly shut the company permanently down.
Things are shifting. There are persuasive arguments being discussed among CEOs about hidden long-term costs of manufacturing overseas that do not show up in quarterly and annual financial statements but that bite back hard. Has the equilibrium point and risk shifted so that their company's best financial interest is to bring manufacturing back? That means higher prices. Will those discussions become reality?

Manufactured in August 1940 by Hawker Aircraft Ltd at Kingston, Hawker Hurricane V7497 is a Mk 1 Hurricane who saw action at the height of the Battle of Britain for only 5 days before being destroyed by enemy action.
Assigned to the 501 (County of Gloucester) Squadron at Kenley, in East London on 19th September 1940 she was first flow by Sgt. Sayward on the afternoon of 24th September. This was followed by 5 further sorties over the next 3 days before being shot down by a BF109 on the 28th September over Kent. Her pilot P/O E B Rogers survived by bailing out and parachuting to safety.
Found during an aviation archaeology dig, Hawker Hurricane Mk1 V7497 went to Hawker Restorations for a in-depth restoration which completed on 31 August 2018 and is now based at IWM Duxford.
