This is one of the few clear case prototypes known to exist. There were usually 10 or less clear case prototypes of each model made during the design process. They were used by engineers to check for fit of internal components.
Nearly all plastic case components are clear plastic, including the handle & internal mounts for components. There is no serial number on the case & also none on the motherboard. The colored Apple logo insets are not present, although the space for them is. The case has some very minor differences than the production model (a few extra plastic bits here & there).
An early example Ca.1900, mainly used by contractors travelling from farm to farm hauled by a team of horses. Used for threshing, sawing etc. Not sure of the manufacturer of this example, maybe by Garretts of Leiston, being captured in a Suffolk farmyard.
I don't actively collect typewriters, but I get them when they are a good deal. They are fun to work on and type on.
These are my portables. The big boys are just to heavy for me to lug out and take shots of..lol
Okay, before anyone freaks out, please don’t judge me too hard.
This dolly abomination absolutely saved my grade and my sanity.
Back in 200? (2007-2008?) I was pursuing a bachaelors degree in art at a local university. I was in an upper division Art History class with a professor notorious for high expectations and harsh grading. Like any other “400 level” class there was a very large research paper project that was going to be a major part of our grade in the class. Something like a thirty page research paper.
Now at the time my personal life was rocky, I was close to graduating but gradually taking fewer and fewer classes, and I was working more full-time hours at my retail job. (Burnout. In hindsight I was burning out.)
I didn’t realize I was burning out but I knew, I just KNEW that I didn’t have thirty pages of words inside of me to put on a page. Even though I really enjoyed the class and love the topic: History of Surrealism, I knew I didn’t have thirty pages in me so I had to come up with a creative solution. I needed a muse.
In lieu of writing a thirty page paper, I created this Portable Muse.
I turned in this Muse (and a hand bound book of surrealist art games we had learned about in the class. I had recreated the games and wrote little explanations of them.) I got a really good grade and passed the class.
(I did end up dropping out of school for real and never finished my degree. Oops.)
The muse herself is a Britney Spears head on a Ocean Toys Pamela Love torso mounted on an imitation squirrel paintbrush. She comes in her own labeled tin (a repurposed Surf Benders tin.)
(I have the original head for this torso and had been looking for poor Pamela’s body for a while… then I remembered what I had done to her and found this old Portable Muse in my studio.)

Haalua & Parathas are popular breakfast item among city dwellers in Dhaka. Some who can afford eat these in fancy hotels, & those who can't afford luxuries can eat from such trolley based sellers.
Tastes more or less same, to be honest...

Boombox is a common word for a portable cassette or CD player with two or more loudspeaker. Other terms known are ghetto blaster, jambox, boomblaster, Brixton briefcase or radio-cassette. It is a device capable of receiving radio stations and playing recorded music (usually cassettes or CDs), usually at relatively high volume. Many models are also capable of recording (onto cassette) from radio and (sometimes) other sources. Designed for portability, most boomboxes can be powered by batteries, as well as by line current.

Beverages on wheels, just not sure how they got a fire going in the back seat without ruining the upholstery. This was a most interesting and humorous find at the threshers' reunion. Great joke! Wish the car owner would have been handy to discuss the vehicle with as I suspect it was not and inline engine under the hood and it has certainly been lowered. the company logo is a riot.

The kids’ school-at-home days (and it feels like there will be more of them this winter) have been difficult for Ahja because I’m cycling between them so often, so thought I’d try something so Ahja could ride along. (She has been comfortable in the cat-pocket sweatshirt, but it doesn’t support her weight very well while moving or standing unless I use an arm for extra support.) We’ll see how it goes.

"Los tamaleros" (Vendedores de cabezas de horno)
This seems to be a portable snack bar.
From a scarce CDV album of mexican occupationals made by the studio "Cruces y Campa" in the 1860s.
The album contains 40 views of occupations, vendors and marketeers, a portrait of a woman (maybe the owner) and a view of the "three Naoleons". So maybe this album had been brought from Mexico by one of the soldiers of the emperor Maximilian.

A DIY Oak box for my Big Jambox, bluetooth audio/podcast from my phone, take it anywhere, sounds awesome!
An iPad (or similar device) can serve as a portable light box for viewing and inspecting photographic negs, in this case square 120 film negs of Manchester Cathedral and the interior of the Barton Arcade taken with a Yashica TLR camera.
