With that said,
(until today) "C" was for...
[SHaˈpō]
and the associated 'pins' that go with them.
~BUT~
This collection, too, has been covered before!
By chance, our morning was spent doing a bit of research on recent acquisitions, and ironically the queries kept resulting in 'C' answers!! So what better time to share some Useless Trivia Tidbits??!
First up was this adorable Hankie:
Q: What is the relevance of the title of the hankie-"Chessie, Peake and Kittens"?
Q: WHY did Kimball need permission from a RailRoad to create this Hankie?
After a quick web search for the CHESAPEAKE & OHIO RailRoad, I soon learned that CHESSIE was the mascot for C&O Railway, and has a long history dating back to 1934!
While 'on a roll', I decided to dig deeper into The mystery of the wood Print Block...
Yesterday we picked up a book at an Estate Sale by Carlos Castaneda (there are those 'C's again!!)- it was Russian, and MANY of the alphabet characters in it looked familiar! Searched out 'Russian Alphabet' - and Voila'! We now know the alphabet on our wood block is CYRILLIC, we just don't know which Language it is in to do a translation!! I did figure out how to transform our keyboard to the CYRILLIC alphabet though!
