 I even got another Johnny West item.  Pink depression glass and a 4cup measuring cup 1930s.  A few more items for my medicine chest.  This is my first Bucksin. My other nodders have wheels so were knight/Viking horses.  Large grasshopper with pink and green wings.  The antlers still have felt and 2 game tags from 1960.  Smokey got in a photo op.  Improved insect collection.  Zero electric fan circa 1950. Works perfectly including the ocilator.   His head stays up well unlike my other nodders. |

Outstanding finds! What was the boric acid intended to be used for?

The Boric acid is an antisceptic. It's from the 20 Mule Team Borax which I like collecting as they are from nearby Boron.

Thank you! We always had it around the house for dumping in the dogs baths because Grandpa said it helped keep away ticks and fleas. I never saw him use it any other way.

Yep bats are mammals and scorpions are arachnids. Insects and arachnids are arthropods. Anyway I usually call it the butterfly wall.
