Wow that was fast.  If I were in the lead and not so greedy, I'd not venture a guess on this one, but let's go with the obvious and say Grandfather's Mansion, rugs on the ceiling.

I think you are right - it is where you go into the tilting room

[tomncyndi]

thats looking up the wall at that mirror that has the scary face that jumps out at you

So I take a break for a few weeks from SDCfans, and this is what happens???    I'll be celebrating my birthday there July 2nd.  Until then, I'll try to catch my score up!

It's gettin' full at the top here...lets try to separate them a bit....

[History Buff]

Oh my.

[saloongal]

By the sitting/eating area that overlooks where they used to do the log-rolling (behind lumberjack camp)

[rubedugans]

HB? I had to get a hard one in there since 49-51 were pretty easy ones!

No saloongal it isn't the upper level of the Lumberjack camp.

Random knowledge: Female Lumberjacks are typically called Lumberjills.

Well, that electrical insulator looks a bit modern for SDC...looks like it might be from the 1920s-1950's...hummmmmm.....where could it be on park? Lumbercamp area ya say???

[History Buff]

Easy ones and lucky timing is what made it possible for me to climb into the upper ranks, though.  It's a little strategery on my part.

Junior, that's exactly what I thought.  Electric insulator?  1880?  And the background is blurred just enough to be annoying.  Anyway, just to get my feet wet, I'll say the homestead area.  I know that's not right, but maybe we can rule it out.

[rubedugans]

Insulators have been used ever since Samuel Morse transmitted the first telegraph message over a short telegraph line along a railroad between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD in 1844. Glass insulators were first manufactured in the 1850s for use with telegraph lines that were rapidly expanding across America. In the 1920s electricity and telephone signals moved over open copper wire. At each pole glass insulators were used. Growing up around these...I am guessing that this one if from between 1930-1960. Without seeing the marks I cannot tell if it is a Hemmingray, American Insulator Co, Duquesne Co, etc...

And no, it is nowhere in the lumbercamp, and no it is not in the homestead area.

^Probably not so much in the Ozarks though.

Anyway, it wouldn't be the only thing that didn't belong in 1880.  Coke was invented in 1886, so since this year is 1880, the official sponsor is still a gleam in John Pemberton's eye.

How 'bout Wilson's Farm?  There's a menagerie of pickins in that area.
