Sparrowhawk?
Now called a Kestrel. Most of their diet is small mammals and lizards and insects. It rarely goes after songbirds, but it is an opportunist.
I remember this bird because it’s pictured on a US stamp.
It’s what they call a make-up stamp… a small denomination to help you use up your previously bought postage when the rate changes.
I think the kestral is one cent.
I bought a whole bunch, and then started buying “Forever” stamps when they came out, so I don’t need extra postage on old ones.
I don’t think the post office would like 68 of them on one letter… Besides I don’t think I have that many.
Now I’ll probably have what’s left of them forever… longer than my so-called forever stamps.

It looks like split logs laid on ties… but too big to be that.
Or ??
Looks more like planks to me. And seeing how wide the ties are maybe there were supposed to more planks. I’m saying it’s this, but i’ve heard that peat bogs have causeways like that.

I wish the dates weren’t trimmed off.
Issued December 1924 Here’s the complete cover :: the “December” is there, but no year. Year found here: cover-popsci1920s-index.html
Thanks!
I do a lot of searching, myself… but I was running out of steam when I posted 😁
You are welcome. Yes, there IS a lot of searching for this one, for sure!

The eternal triangle — it’s a Zero sum game…
..
I get eight — I was a lot better with the boys!
Same here.
I think that i have seven but i’m not too sure of two of them.
I think I know 9, and there are two more (#s 7 &10) I feel like I recognize but can’t quite place.
In fact, i know I recently watched a clip with #10 in it.
I don’t know #11…
But someone will probably point out that she’s someone I SHOULD recognize.
Also… these seem to be from different decades.
In case you want to check …

Katherine Hepburn, Doris Day, Judy Garland

I think you’re right.
I didn’t recognize #5 of all people!
7–Ingrid Bergman 10–Greta Garbo
I didn’t get number 8
definitely….that was my mistake –I meant I didn’t get 11
So you only got one? 😁
Actually, I did get Ingrid Bergman in my reply to myself…
But #10 sure didn’t look like Greta Garbo to me.
I mean, she’s smiling.
Got all of them. I watch TCM regularly.
Doris Day was with us up to May, 2019, just had turned 97 a month earlier.
Who is #11?
I cropped the picture and used bing – that’s
Thanks.
I thought I was quite familiar with Joan Fontaine…
But the picture in my head doesn’t match this face at all.
I used to think she was prettier than Olivia… But not here.
On my computer it was easy to crop and search, but though I can do it, it’s kind of a pain on my tablet.
I’m sorry, I got only eight Ladies
Great to see you here!
Better than me!
I write a comment to you yesterday that I’m not sure you saw.
It was a reply to something you said after I posted my puzzle solution.
I hope you’ll take a look!
Aren’t they cute!!
Cool!
“Snakes. Why does it always have to be snakes?”
Do I get points for recognizing the movie?
LOL…. maybe not cos probably everybody does.😁
I don’t mind snakes… But this might be testing the limits…
I gnu that…
Boo! 😀
Boo! 🙂
two boos make a boo-boo
,Ooohh!
I want this one
But…. sigh…. if I had it, I’d probably sell it.
I just searched it, trying to find the maker and current prices.
It’s by Louis Marx Company. Marx toys are quite collectible, and so is Buck Rogers.
One of these sold not that long ago on eBay for just over $300… But I’m not surprised because another is listed for 1,400.
…
However, I encountered a mystery.
First there are an awful lot of these about to warrant a price that high… but if people will pay it, by definition, that’s what it’s worth.
Second, several sellers say this toy was made in the 1920s.
The $1400 dollar listing, in fact, says 1920.
Another, with lots of pictures, shows a close-up of where it’s actually marked with a copyright date that seems to say 1927.
Problem:
Buck Rogers started as a comic book character… The first issue came out in 1929. He didn’t go into space until the 5th issue, in 1930.
The radio show that made him super popular started in 1932.
The book that added “in the 25th century” to the title came out in 1933. The box wouldn’t say that before then.
….
It also doesn’t look like a 1920’s toy… The ship is streamlined in 1930s style.
The same toy was also made in a Flash Gordon model, and Flash Gordon came out in 1934.
I have no answers.
But maybe people paying (or selling for) hundreds of dollars should do a little research!
Got it!
Yes! Let’s hope it’s contagious.
Me too!
Oh, gotta share this!
If Vegan Vic said that unbelievably idiotic but nasty stuff to me, it would be our last conversation ever… but after I gave him a piece of my mind.
Since there’s no way it could be true, his motivation would be either stupidity or cruelty… or both.
“Vic” must be short for “Vicious”.
Bite him, Cleo!
Wonderful Tango! I love this video “Al Pacino Teaches the Tango (Full Scene)| Scent of a Woman”
