Arizona

This is a metal souvenir ashtray depicting Arizona. It belonged to my late Mother, and since we lived in Arizona for about 10 years, she collected things from there that had a Western theme.

This was a test shot for my newly-acquired Minolta XG-A.

This was a porcelain dish that belonged to my late mother. It's a nice dish, only I don't know what kind of dish it is or what it was used for. It's about 5 inches long.

Does anybody recognize it?

3 buttons from my late Mother's collection. The small one on the right, "I Like Ike," dates from the 1950's and the large one featuring John F. Kennedy probably dates from 1961, the year I was born. I don't know who Nelson was.

HaarFager has posted:

I built this curio cabinet back in the mid-1980s for my late Mother. Now that she's passed on and I've "inherited" it back, it's becoming a camera cabinet. I'm putting Mom's curios away and replacing them with my camera collection.

Taken with my Minolta XD11 in 1988 - by then it was 3 or 4 years old.
