Young boy shows off his new baseball uniform

This little fella is proud of his new baseball uniform and his playing skills. Not sure what year this photo was taken. This image was created from some old negatives I recently acquired. He sure is a cutie.

Here's the same young fellow who appears to be standing with his little sister.

Here's the young baseball player again in an action pose while his little sister shows no interest in his skills. These negatives were somewhat damaged but I managed to at least get these images from them. It would be a tragedy to have such wonderful images as these lost for all time.

Wooden handled contraption found in Victorian attic...what is it?

My curiosity is getting the best of me. This contraption is made of wood (not sure what type) and has a handle that pulls down over the wooden block that could possibly create a tight fit if something were inserted between the two pieces. It was found attached to the wall in the attic of an old Victorian house. I'm thinking it was used for holding a clothesline. Does anyone know what this is and what it was made for? It is marked Cavendish (Vermont) on the top of the large block so it appears to have been manufactured and not a home-made widget. The gnaw marks on it are from mice.

The chicken painting artist of Danby, Vermont

I love this! This is an artist's studio located next door to the Danby/Mt. Tabor Antique Center in Danby, Vermont. The artist is a prolific painter of chickens and has some amazing portraits on display outside of his studio. Here is a sampling:
