Poker Chips from the Travertine Bar in Livingston, Montana

I have been told the Travertine was located where Nevins Glass is now. That was before my time. Here are two boxes of poker chips from the Travertine. They are made of clay. You can see they are in really nice condition. The matchbook however is pretty worn. These are being offered for $75.00. 

Found: Henry Wallace Speaks, The Movie

I was going through a box of antique photographic equipment today and came across a few 16mm movie film canisters with the old Eastman Kodak logo on them. Inside I found two movies. The most interesting one is Henry Wallace Speaks. Wallace served as the 33rd Vice President of the United States under Franklin D Roosevelt from 1941to 1945. The movie appears to be an original run or a very old copy.

TIME Magazine named Wallace as one of Americas worst Vice Presidents:

"A colleague once described Henry Wallace as "a person answering calls the rest of us don't hear." Wallace did indeed feel a calling: the Iowa-born son of a former agriculture secretary declared his greatest aspiration was "to make the world safe for corn breeders." - thats TIME writing, not me. 

America's Worst Vice Presidents

This movie could be interesting. I can't find any reference to it on the internet. The canister is a little beat up but film itself  looks like it is in great condition. 

There was also a 16mm movie Killers in the Insect World. There are a few copies of this floating around. I found one on eBay. I'm not as excited about that one. The last canister was empty.

I sold all of my projectors. Rats.

I'll have to find a home for the Wallace footage. Thoughts?

The Rustpeddler is Kickstarting

If you know me, you know I am all about recycling, repurposing, just finding a use for all of the STUFF we all have. I hate for anything to go to waste.



For any of you that don't know her already,              
meet Sarah Homans, one of Livingston's finest creative forces.

Sarah makes some of the most beautiful jewelry I have come across - she is one of those people that can make anything out of seemingly nothing. And she's a wonderful person.

"Like a nervous twitch, I've been bending down and picking up these objects for as long as I can remember. About 10 years ago, I decided that this collection of mystery metal/found objects needed to be put to good use: wearable art."

And it happens right here in Livingston! I would encourage you to take a look at her Kickstarter campaign - right now :)! Then, make a pledge. You wont regret it.

Every piece I make is different- even if I'm following a general design it is very important to me that each piece has its own "soul."
