Saturday's Adventures #175
Cast Iron Newfoundland Mascots of the Hayward, Bartlett Cast Iron Company. Canton and Sailor stood at Scott and McHenry Streets in Baltimore and another pair flanked the front door of a home on Carey Street in Franklin Square.

Embroidered bird on a crazy quilt in the Folk Art exhibit. Why doesn't my running stitch ever look that good?
Saturday's Adventures #135
d: "Why is there a statue from Mid Evil Times in the Maryland Historical Building?"
Saturday's Adventures #131
This one is worth enlarging to check out the details. Who knew? Bozo was the family dog. The whole circus is named after him.
Saturday's Adventures #127
This thing is wild. There are over 9000 little metal "people." According to a MHS staffer, there is pick pocket and at least two people throwing up in this crowd.

C: "Look at this guy. Looks as if they lost one."
(Guy is lying face-down just off the edge of the display)
d: "Hahahaha. It looks as if there was a murder at the circus."
Saturday's Adventures #111
C: "Ah, ha, ha, ha. . .The kids needed something productive to do while watching T.V.?"
Saturday's Adventures #108
The third floor also houses this. . .
I'm not sure my words can even do this thing justice. . .
Saturday's Adventures #102
Nearly the entire third floor display at the MHS is furniture! Scads and scads of historical furniture.
Saturday's Adventures #100
The MHS has a nice display of Maryland's role in WWII. Here is an ashtray - specifically an Anti-Nazi Belgium Resistance Ashtray "Manneken Pis" (pissing boy) statue collected by a Maryland serviceman during the war.
Saturday's Adventures #90
The Maryland Historical Society has a good collection of Peale Family art.
