Here are some photos that were printed from glass plates; the photographer was one of the owners of the shop, and photography was one of his hobbies. A few years ago, a photographer who had a darkroom and lab made prints from well over 100 glass plates that had been in storage for almost 100 years. They all dated from around 1910. Check out the saddle that had been made in their shop. The shop closed around 1930.

I could easily step into the first picture and feel at home. Wouldn't know how to use it all, . . . or make most of their stuff, . . . but I could learn.

Too bad somebody ain't come up with a workable time machine yet............

Thank you very much for posting these pictures. It is a pleasure to look at these old saddles and the shop they were made in. I see a couple of my favorites (Chase splitters) in the first shop picture. :thumbsup:

My choice early in life was either to be a piano-player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference.

Just wanted to chime in on that second bunch of pictures, . . . the middle one.

I love that plank floor and the t&g wooden ceiling. My wife would never go for that in our home, . . . but if I was a bachelor, . . . I could definitely see that in my life. Simple, rugged, good looking.

I know there were other things that really complicated life back then, . . . but some of the things they did were just plain simple, easy, and not complex at all.

Again, . . . many thanks for the pictures, . . . it makes history come alive.

May God bless,

Dwight
