Wow, we might be actually looking at ANCIENT BLOOD!! That's just fascinating(:

I'm allergic to it. I always get a false positive reading, so they just bypass the skin test and give me the xray. I don't have TB, don't worry.

Lonely tree shot!!

My mom was 10, my dad was 18, just getting ready to graduate high school. They didn't know each other even existed yet.

That medicine bottle looks like it has been put there relatively recently. I don't think those orange plastic medicine bottles were used 30+ years ago.

its funny you say that. i would buy them too.

i was at the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston) and i bought a book called "ruins of detroit" it was like $125, but i was like f*ck it, its awesome and right up my alley!

and i also respect his privacy

lol! i'm an urban explorer/photographer myself, and have seen some weird graffiti. one that i remeber was a large 20' by 20' peice that looked like it took hours. it read

"the black lips, plus 200 million thousand"

it doesn't make sense lmao, but i bet motts has probably seen it, because the location is on this sight, but because of his rules i cant revile which one...

mmmm!

the lonely chair? (hey ducky!)

This looks like a machine we used to label clothing for clients where I work. Now we have a computerized labeler.

I think everyone is missing the irony of the ashtrays in the arms of chairs in a tuburculosus hospital. I can't breath, but I can still smoke!

Plastic tape label guns were used from the 50s-70s. I have not seen one in ages. My parents used one to label objects in the house in order to help my little sister learn to read.

I don't think the bench is very old. My guess is 1950s. It appears to be early-American revival from the 50s-60s era, made of maple, and had semi-hard cushions on it. It looks like the finish has worn off but a light sanding and a refinish would make this as good as new.

Polio comes to mind. Fortunately we have eradicated that horrible disease from the earth.
