1210 Library newspaper holder. Back in the time when people went to libraries to read, and newspapers were printed on paper, this kind of holder was clamped to the spine of a newspaper, and several newspapers were hung by the clamp on a notched rack. I fondly remember reading newspapers on a stick at the then local library. Wes |

And we topped it off at the end by adopting fondue as the centerpiece for dinner parties. My wife is recovering from an operation and somebody sent her a basket of fruit-on-a-stick. It's cut up like daisies and other flowers. Fondue memories, they are. -- Ed Huntress |

I offered some Loctite but they said she'd hold together without it. So I'm now a full-time nurse. She'll recover, but they say it will take six months. -- Ed Huntress |
