Looks like a watering can for house plants, I hadn't noticed it back there!

Cool, yeah I love the look of some of the older medical equipment as well. Unfortunately they tore the place down about 10 years ago; I doubt they salvaged much, as that always seems to be the case.

@eldokid nah, it didn't look like the power was on. Plus it's all old knob and tube with who knows what nesting behind the walls - a good way to start a fire.

Now that you mention it, I don't recall seeing any indoor plumbing like a bathroom, tub or kitchen sink, but it's been a while. Maybe there was an outhouse out back...

@eldokid Yes, although they were more common for larger purchases. I found a bunch in an old hospital that were all hand-written, with giant letterheads that had wood cut prints of the company's logo or building, from somewhere in the 1880s.

@LucieLou Yeah it's certainly the first "homey" place I've posted in a while, as the other places have been large chateaus, castles or entire neighborhoods. Glad you all enjoy it!

I looked at some exterior photos from others and noticed that this hallway sits up against a differently styled structure that abuts the home, which could be a barn or storage area. The wall on the right shares a wall with the living room.

@flushed nah, but now I'm curious as to how many kilograms I weigh...

@LucieLou yeah, the bed does seem to be on wheels, I hadn't noticed. Sounds like a fun sled ride until you get to the stairs!

Nah the mold wasn't bad; I get sick from people on airplanes way more.

Ah cool, sewing patterns certainly make sense.

Not sure what the numbers are for, I was thinking they were some kind of game pieces but it's anyone's guess...
