The Foothills Fall Festival was once again a great show with three days of wonderful weather and lots of customers.  A few days after the show, the euphoria wore off and the reality that I had very little product left over set in. I now need to kick it into high gear to get ready for Christmas orders.

I recently got a hold of some interesting Post Office doors.  I’ve seen these style doors a few times over the years, but they are not easily found like the eagles.  I refer to one as a 1911 because it has three patent dates of 1896, 1903, and 1911.  It has a dial pointer, 2 letter combination lock.  The second one is an 1886 dual dial which also uses a two letter combination lock.  This door is a little larger than the standard #1 size door and requires a larger box to hold it.

The 1911 on the left and 1886 on the right.
