Water, water everywhere and Wait! a Hammerhead as well!!


I found a delightful 1929 advert in a vintage magazine for Bradley woolen knitwear, the kind bathers used to wear. I cut the gal on the gents right hand off the image (she would have been half a woman based on the original ad placement LOL) and found a nice beach scene. But then what? Do you know how menacing a hammerhead shark is? From a bit on the internet: Hammerheads are often found in shallow coastal waters and are shy and not considered aggressive toward people. There you go! Or there they go!!

THEME: Water water everywhere

Sorry folks, I blanked on what day of the week it is! As we are expecting a rain storm later today AND my family is talking about taking a cruise to Alaska later this year (don't think I am joining...the thought of a large cruise ship not my cup of tea!) AND I am in the process of trying to determine the value of a vintage lithograph I own of a barque (four-masted sailing ship) called "The Peking" -- I have water on my mind and I will make it this week's theme!
