My contribution for this week's Macro Monday theme "anachronism" is this pocket watch. Once worn with great pride in another time, another century. Now it has a beautiful and special place in our house and it makes me aware that nothing lasts forever, that you have to take life as it comes. Life in all its beautiful and less beautiful moments. I wish you all a very good week with many wonderful moments!
Thanks for your views, faves and comments, they are welcome and appreciated.

A typometer is a ruler which is usually divided in typographic points or ciceros on one of its sides and in centimeters or millimeters on the other, which was traditionally used in the graphic arts to inspect the measures of typographic materials. The most developed typometers could also measure the type size of a particular typeface, the leading of a text, the width of paragraph rules and other features of a printed text. This way, designers could study and reproduce the layout of a document.
One of the domains where the typometer was most widely used was the editorial offices of newspapers and magazines, where it was used along with other tools such as tracing paper and linen testers to define the layout of the pages of the publications, until the 1980s.
Typometers were initially made of wood or metal (in later times, of transparent plastic or acetate), and were produced in diverse shapes and sizes. Some of them presented several scales that were used to measure the properties of the text. Each scale corresponded with a type size or with a leading unit, if line blocks were divided by blank spaces. However, typometers could not be used to measure certain computer-generated type sizes, that could be set in fractions of points.
Due to the technological advancements in desktop publishing, that allow for a greater precision when setting the type size of texts, typometers have disappeared from most graphic design related professions. It keeps being used, even today, by traditional printers who still employ type metal. Source Wikipedia.

As the pandemic declines, the 4th is expected to see 50 million people traveling around the USA, with 1.5 million to weave through the TSA LINES at the Atlanta Airport. And YES, I was right there! It was totally worth it! 💞 Because, you see, Mimi had the opportunity to join the celebration of our newest grandchild turning ONE! The trip was a star-spangled event, for sure!
Arrived at the airport on time! Took almost an hour to go through security check! Took the train to B concourse! Had to find gate 7! My seat was 18 rows back and was an isle seat! Arrived home on time even through bumpy weather! Well worth the hassle!

From a bag of shredded cash from the federal reserve bank. The bag is supposed to contain about $364.00 in various bills. At least a Benjamin and a $1 are seen here.I could spend the next 10 years gluing all these together and have... oh never mind I have lost interest already. HMM

The Kodak 2A Folding Autographic Brownie, made between 1915-1926. I found it at a car boot sale yesterday, and thought I'd share this photo with MM today.
Taking off the glass lens at the front, it's interesting to look at the mechanisms and controls available 100 years ago - including the shutter diaphragm and above that, the 10 aperture blades. It's set to f11.
Plus all the brass lettering and numbers. As this is a close-up macro (the front isn't as large as it is made to look here!), it doesn't include the exposure time controls to the right. I’ve posted another photo (next) showing all the front controls.
