I'm sure you'll gets lots of other opinions but here's what I would do.

Scrub it with a Brillo Pad and lots of elbow grease.
Rinse and wipe away all the soap residue, then dry it well.
Coat with Ren-Wax.

But that's just me.

If it was made in 1904 or there abouts perhaps it was intended as a display of industrial manufacture. Then again it might be considered a modernist art piece MM being the creator. You might pay a visit to Antiques Roadshow.

Woodmen of the World, which was basically a self covering insurance club, used a stump as a logo with "W.O.W." included.

We have a smart aleck in Surrey! This is near the Gateway Skytrain Station. The trees are “budding”! :shock:
I actually had to look twice. The colour caught my eye and something in the back of my mind went, “Hey, wait a minute...!’’

Gotta give him credit for inventiveness!

The item in the tree were earplugs or ‘earbuds’. We have a lot of construction going on all the time around here. Some worker has been recycling his plugs!

I'd say that's probably pretty accurate...If you call that number...they will be trying to pull some type of fraud...on you.

Can the tree hear you coming now? Is it easier to slip up on? Maybe it is calmer not hearing all the noise. ::shrug::

Those are neat, seems like a great deal too.

The last time I was in eureka springs AR I was in a shop with fossils, rocks and other similar items and they had megalodon teeth that were just impressively huge. Were they not so pricey I would have picked one up, they were just so cool. The same shop also had an intact cave bear skeleton.

We're having a later than usual Spring. Plants that typically bloom as early as late February to mid-March are peaking now. Took these pictures yesterday.

A FEMA contractor made short work of my pile of storm debris from our yard. Took me 6 months to pile it up and they hauled it off in 4 loads in about 3 hours. The little red car is a "monitor", keeping track of the contractors loads. A local engineering firm is getting paid to do the monitoring.

Mumbley Peg, my Mom always kept Iris. She had some she got off her Dad's grave and when ever we moved she always took a start with her. I guess it was kind of a tradition back in the day. Thanks for sharing. ::tu::

Great pictures and color, Ken. Unfortunately, my yard isn't fenced...and planting anything like that, just becomes a garden salad for the deer :(
