I have very similar sized tiles in my powder room. They were also in the kitchen. Kind of seafoam green. When we removed them in the litchen they were about 1/2 inch thick and unfortunately broke easily. We had hoped to salvage them. They don't make them like that any more.

First thing I noticed was the arch. Must have been beautiful long ago. I am a confirmed cemetery wonderer and the thought of all the graves on this island makes me sad. No one can bring flowers or visit.
Welcome back Mama of five. So sorry to hear about your son and the rest of your family.
And Motts, I feel like I know you from years of seeing sites thru your eyes and apparently the eyes of your good friend. Condolences on your loss and may he RIP.

This is my favorite from this set. such beauty in its old age. Thanks for the wallpaper.

Wanderer, this way they only had to chase the ball, not reset pins. I think they had to spin all the way around and then you got the points on the pin added to your score.

Maybe lab/blood spinner?

Wonder if it was anesthesia related. Kind of has that look about it. Black mask for the face and squeezable black bag to breath the patient. Multiple tanks and tubes for hookups. The metal valves look like typical medical gas valves.

Love it flushed.

Years ago I was at a rehab center visiting a patient and a patient, with paralysis from the waist down, was lying on a cart like that. he could use the large wheels to wheel himself around. This position took the weight off of his tailbone as a decubitus prevention measure. He couldn't steer very well, but he could move around enough to visit with different groups.

Yes Mr Motts the metal tags on everything in the hospital I worked in were for inventory control. If it was an electric piece of equipment it got a second tag that indicated it had been tested. This tag had to be changed as routine checks were done on the equipment.

I was thinking that exact thing Mica. Looks like that transom might not be in the best place if that table was handy to stand on. Guess that explains the grid in the transom.

Seems so bizarre to have spent so much money on fixing the sign and then letting every thing else fall apart. Thanks for the pictures.

Maybe they filtered the water through the charcoal before adding it to the brewing tanks

Did the cars go back and forth or is it a circular track?

Love how the peeling paint looks like a spot of light from the lamp.

I'm not much on these industrial sets, but this picture has so much going on that I could stare at it for hours. Love it!
