I done a Google maps search and obtained a satellite image of where the structure stood (or maybe still does?) of the Caldwell & Ghrisky commerce building. Address listed as 508 Commerce Street, Philadelphia, PA. It's 3hours and 4 minutes away from Williamsport Pa. And 4 hours and 8 minutes from here in Clearfield, PA. I just thought it was cool and thought you may like it too?

I like it when you add historical info. It gives the cover "life".

...a jump ahead of you Jeff  I had read it when you first posted. I was also looking at the Hardware supplier, I noticed he was advertising Disston Hand saws in 1851, My father had a Disston back in the 1960's (blade oiled, and handle linseeded) They have a medallion set into the handle by which you can date them. Of course nothing on the 3 Cooper Adzes, he was ordering, they date back to the stone age. |

It seems that, in the past, everyone had better penmanship.  |

Seems to me I been seeing a few pop up and wasn't sure if you was buying or selling from some of your other threads...Please let me know OK? Your friend, Jeff |
