HiDee MichSis!

Naw...Poor Beth had NOTHIN' to do with this one...The Guilt..(if any)..is All Mine.

I find History to be Great FUN, & frankly, the Victorians were LOTS Wilder than we give 'em credit for. (Heck, they could buy Opiates Over-The-Counter, remember?)

Judging from the Number of Well-Constructed Models I've collected from the Teens-thru-20's, they must've been Pretty POPULAR Way-back-When, too. (SOME even came with little FAN Blade Attachments..guess it saved the need to light up a Cigarette--heh!)

Early Ones all came in Black-Covered Wooden Boxes with Leather Handles, JUST like Little Doctor Kits...I'm sure "For Medical Use Only"..but-of-course. (Especially in Alabama, eh?) ;-)>

Why Blush? (An Adage about Geese-Genders comes to mind here...)

Thanks for the Kind Visit & Brave Words,
Big Hugs,
Stan
