We moved from our Farm in VA. which had a lot of Nut Trees, to a City Life…….I still remember the rock that I sat on and the rock I used to crack them with. You had to be quick moving your hand or you would smash your fingers. Which I did a few times. I always kept a Bobby Pen in my hair, to help get them out of the shell.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635163323560816578.post-29185637017541881512023-09-06T09:13:44.858-04:002023-09-06T09:13:44.858-04:00Hi Stan.

In the 70's (when I was in high school) he made more, but used lathe-turned posts at the top and and bottom of the stairs and ball chain for railing to give them a contemporary look. All my aunts, uncles and cousins as well as many neighbors had one. My mom said there were specific figurines she had placed on Dad's earlier shelves, implying that the they were part of the intended look. By the 70's she could not find them any more, even in antiques stores, so I don't know what they were supposed to be.Stan VanDruffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635163323560816578.post-8408890237072995722023-05-07T18:00:17.964-04:002023-05-07T18:00:17.964-04:00Hi!
