Look at Mother Nature on the Run in the 1970's

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CURT SMITH (24.06.1961)

Born on this day: the wondrous Cindy Wilson (née Cynthia Leigh Wilson, 28 February 1957), one of the founding members of essential post-punk party band the B-52’s (and one of Athens, Georgia’s finest exports)! For me, Wilson’s dissonant science fiction anti-harmonies with co-vocalist Kate Pierson are one of the defining sounds of 1980s American New Wave music. I also cherish her emotion-wracked lead vocals on tracks like “Hero Worship”, “Give Me Back My Man” “Loveland” and “Girl from Ipanema Goes to Greenland.” She also, of course, has exemplary taste in beehive wigs. Pictured: Wilson – looking like a J H Lynch painting come to life – photographed by Lynn Goldsmith in the early 1980s.

SOLD $100 — Unusual, small tin litho product can for 'Haxan', featuring a great colorful trademark image of flying witch, with bat, fire, etc. in background. Has strong colors and displays pretty well, although there is some non-offensive scattered wear (C. 7.5/+). Not sure what product was, but my guess is it was possibly some kind of polish. Swedish. — 3.745 x 1-7/8" (dia.)

This mail bag was used on the packet ship, HMS Crane ( she was one of the last packets to continue to carry mail after much of the service was taken over by the Royal Navy in 1823 and the Royal Steam Packet from 1840) and is one of the original hand sewn canvas mail bags used on her. The letters were carried by the Crane and written and posted on 13 November 1849 from Rio de Janeiro, arriving in Falmouth in 1850.
