Hohoho I Was Ane Time Broken... Jewelry Made From Broken Calendar Plates

Jewelry made from antique broken calendar plates...

Antique calendar plate from 1909 amongst lots of damage

I accept a corking honey for these sometime advertising calendar plates...they appear to last i of those things that combine everything that I honey inwards i package: it's a plate, it's old, it's got a beautiful floral transferware blueprint on it...but most especially, it marks a for sure request inwards time. In this case, 1909.

Let's see...in 1909 a paper toll 1 cent, java was twenty cents a pound, (tea was $1 for two lbs, yesteryear the way), together with a dyad of children's shoes toll close $1.50! Hershey bars were two cents, but they were a lot smaller than today's 1.65 oz, weighing inwards at 9/16 oz! To pose things a chip to a greater extent than into perspective, the average wage was 22 cents per hour, together with the average worker made close $350 a year. We tin alone wonder what things volition last similar 100 years from now...
