By @rachel.parikh: "To complement yesterday's post, here is a gun powder flask (barutdan) in the shape of a nautilus shell. It is believed that the prototype of this kind of flask was originally made from water buffalo horn, which was soaked in water and then bent to form the required shape, which resembled a nautilus shell. Water buffalo horn flasks can be can be found in Mughal paintings since the early sixteenth century. Nautilus shell-shaped powder flasks that were actually made of shell, like this example, were produced much later. India, 18th century, sea shell and bone. _____________________ #ardefact #artifact #artefact #regional #rare #unique #india #indian #mughal #18thcentury #themet #armsandarmor #firearms #gunpowder #powderflask #barutdan #seashell #nautilus

Info from @floridafruitfest: "Pineberry is an albino strawberry cultivar with a pineapple-like flavor, white coloring, and red seeds. Pineberry is based on the original strawberry hybrids that arose in cultivation in Europe, with recent selective breeding to improve the plants. It is a hybrid of Fragaria chiloensis, originating in South America, and Fragaria virginiana, originating in North America, the same parentage as the garden strawberry Fragaria × ananassa. A pineberry is smaller than a common strawberry. When ripe, it is almost completely white, but with red "seeds" (achenes). The plant is disease resistant, but is not very profitable, due to small-scale farming, small berry size and low yield. Pineberries are available in the spring and summer."

By @docubyte: "Merlin, -'The Electronic Wizard' wasn't a phone, but a handheld game released from toy manufacturer the Parker Brothers in 1978. Designed by ex-NASA employee Bob and Doyle, his wife Holly, and brother-in-law Wendl Thomas, the device is one of the most uniquely designed, space-age retro-bonkers toys of its era, earning it pride of place in the Computer History Museum's gaming collection. Playing games from tic-tac-toe, black jack along with synthesized musical notes, the device sold over 5 million units, claiming the best-selling-toy title in America in 1980." ____________________________________ #ardefact #regional #rare #merlin #electronicwizard #parkerbrothers #nasa #bobdoyle #retro #vintage #toy #retrotoys #retrogames #retrogaming #spaceage #space #photography #retouching #guidetocomputing
