Hello Dave and Grant.
Boy Grant, your winter just keeps on giving and giving. Another beautiful capture.
Dave, thanks for keeping things bright and positive as we face another wet and dreary day here in southern Michigan. I really like the starbursts leaves and nice soft background.
Here's another from my trip to the automotive museum. As I entered the museum, there was a new glass enclosed display of mechanical toys and other memories from the late 1800's to the early 1900's. Many of the toys were really cool but difficult to capture due to the reflection on the glass enclosure. Here is one item, though, that I photographed. It is a Kellogg Phone, Circa 1930 with an attached Courtesy Box labeled Detroit Michigan.
A little history:The Kellogg Switchboard and Supply Company was an American manufacturer of telecommunication equipment. Anticipating the expiration of the earliest, fundamental Bell System patents, Milo G. Kellogg, an electrical engineer, founded the company in 1897 in Chicago to produce telephone exchange equipment and telephone apparatus.
Along with Western Electric, which supplied the Bell System, Automatic Electric supplying General Telephone, and Stromberg-Carlson, also supplying the independent telephone markets, Kellogg shared in the business of providing the bulk of the nation's telephone equipment until after World War II.
