The springy metal hinge is attached with three screws on each leg or handle.
The wood shows little wear. The metal hinge has some patina, the teeth almost none. The two larger teeth fit together when you compress the nutcracker. Do it fast and you get a nice castanet sound from this old hardwood nutcracker.
Vintage Alum. Fairgrove Automatic DONUT MAKER, Orig Box! - eBay (item 310043600922 end time Apr-28-08 18:07:48 PDT)
This 1970's donut maker is an aluminum batter dispenser still in the plastic sleeve and original box with vintage graphics. The only thing missing is the recipe booklet. The dispenser itself is marked, "Taiwan."
The box is marked, "Fairgrove Automatic Donut Maker...also for pancakes. Made of heavy gauge, bright anodized pure aluminum." One end says, "Automatic Donut Maker and dispenser for Waffles 'n Pancakes. No pouring, No drippy mess, Donut maker keeps batter of uniform consistency. Prevents air drying so batter won't thicken. So Easy To Clean!" The other end tells how to clean it after use. "Another Fairgrove Product, Copyright A.H.C. 1971."
The dispenser seems like new. The stopper disk had a tendency to shift to one side when I depressed the plunger for photographing. When I took it apart and reassembled, it worked straight and true.
The original box with great vintage graphics is in good condition, still sturdy but taped, crunched and lightly soiled. It claims there's a recipe booklet, but that's missing.
Does this old donut maker make you smile?

This milk bottle is in great condition. The wide mouth of this solid bottle is smooth, no chips, no cracks. There's a tiny notch in the bottom ridge, but I don't think it's a chip, just a bubble or rough spot that occurred in manufacture.

Green Glass Quart Fruit Canning MASON JAR Pat 1858, Lid - eBay (item 310043008744 end time Apr-26-08 19:53:55 PDT) This vintage one quart green glass canning jar has embossed lettering on the front saying, "Mason's Patent Nov. 30th 1858." The glass-lined zinc lid is marked, "Ball" on the top and the glass lining is marked, "Genuine Zinc Cap For Ball Mason."
The particular jar has lots of character. The old glass has wrinkles, ripples and air bubbles typical in the manufacturing process back then. This one features a really big air bubble on the bottom edge. It's surprising the jar has stayed whole all these years with such a possibly weak place.
The inner edge of the mouth feels a little sharp partway around. When you look close and hold the jar just right, you can see minor chipping and a horizontal hairline crack.
The zinc lid has some minor discoloring or patina inside and out and a few small dents you can detect by feel better than sight. The glass lining is in excellent condition.
Does this great old Mason canning or fruit jar make you smile?
Old LEWES DAIRY MILK BOTTLE Printed Gallon Glass Jug! - eBay (item 310042767335 end time Apr-25-08 21:25:42 PDT)

Haynes, Cleve, O."
The cow is a happy cow with a cowbell with LD on it. The vintage glass has two small bubbles in it, typical of old glass. There are seams down the sides. I washed it as you can see by a photographed water droplet inside, but the bottle could use a better cleaning.
This jug is in great condition. There is minor wear in the form of light scratches and scuffs in the glass, particularly around the shoulders and an inch or so above the base. The rim at the base has more wear in the form of heavy scuffing. The mouth is excellent, no chips, no cracks. The red printing is excellent, no scratches or scuffs. The bail handle has bits of rust or patina.

Vintage ROLLS ROYCE TRANSISTOR RADIO 1931 Model in Box! - eBay (item 310039119061 end time Apr-13-08 20:27:59 PDT) This vintage 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom II solid state AM transistor radio was made in Hong Kong. It comes complete with the original box decorated with photo graphics of the car, the Styrofoam packing pieces and the instruction sheet.

I don't know when this Rolls Royce car model radio was manufactured. The finish has patina and the lights are loose and have shifted out of position. They move around as if somewhat rubbery.
When I put a battery in as a test I learned that the radio works as well as any AM radio works in my valley home. I'm limited in the stations I can pick up here.

For historical information on Redstone Arsenal, visit http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/redstone.htm
Here's a sample from the site: Redstone Arsenal has served for more than 40 years as the Army's center for missile and rocket programs. In October 1997, the U.S. Army Missile Command at Redstone Arsenal combined with the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command at St. Louis, Missouri, to form the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM). Today, Redstone Arsenal's aviation and missile experts research, develop, test, purchase, repair, or maintain the high technology weapons that American soldiers rely on to perform their duties.
The Army’ s missile and rocket program began in 1950 under Wernher von Braun and his team of German scientists. The 500-mile surface-to-surface Redstone missile was developed here. It was the first of the large U.S. ballistic missile systems to become operational.
The metal badge measures 1 3/4 inches across with an off-white and green rocket design. It has considerable foxing or aging on the front and patina on the back edges. There's a scratch on the front. The pin on the back is in excellent condition.
