Penske Pete!?!
He's "Professor Pete" now after his dissertation on how the cantilever frame is derived from the anatomical form of a greyhound. Here is the bus that would be perfect for his road trips as he is the boss baller of bicycle dealers. He'd have that filled in no time; Pete we love you!

Today I travelled through fives states. I passed what is likely the largest basket/building probably in the World! The former Longaberger Basket headquarters located in Newark, Ohio. Apparently it was sold in 2017 for $1.2 million which included 21 acres which seems like a steal if you are into…baskets. It had to cost heaps more to construct back in the day when Longaberger was rolling in the dough.

I saw an impressive toy collection but it was nearly impossible to photograph because of the reflection in the case glass; possibly the best Schoenhut Circus collections in existence.

I also picked up two bicycles I bought at auction. These were offered with one photograph for each online. I bought the Columbia chainless as I spotted "Indian" on the left pedal. The other was purchased by mistake as I thought I was bidding on the chainless (again poor photos) when the auction was live. The chainless was the next lot so I ended up with two bikes. At the time I was bummed-out as I thought I had just overpaid for a teens Sears Peerless. Today I was thrilled to find the Peerless is actually built by: The Peerless Mfr. Co. Cleveland, Ohio! I am guessing circa 1894/95? It has an awesome pair of early matching Goodyear tires. Sometimes you get lucky! A thread for the Peerless is in the pre-1933 section for anyone interested.

Here is more history on the Big Basket: https://www.archpaper.com/2018/01/longaberger-basket-building-sold/

Love that a developer who specializes in historic restoration bought it and is trying to find new tenants. Pretty specific building from a corporate perspective. If it were me I'd maybe reach out to Aveeno...

You could put some serious lotion in that basket!

Road tripping on January 6th in 6 degrees Fahrenheit.

9:30 AM morning auction purchase pick up in Saint Louis of a circa 1840-50’s Native Huron moose embroidery three panel room screen. Ursuline nuns taught natives these techniques in the 18th and early 19th century. I tried to buy this piece 20 years ago, sometimes you just have to wait and be patient and objects you desire come your way!

Drove to Kansas City, MO for a BBQ brisket sandwich (aka mountain of meat with three pieces of bread and a pile of pickles) at legendary Arthur Bryant’s. It is a must stop when passing through. Decades of tradition producing an epic product! Plus a rack of ribs heading back to the Land of Enchantment.

2:15 meeting at KC museum, acquired a 4th Qtr 19th century Northwest Coast Native American Chilkat robe.

With work over, 3:45 PM it is bike time! Lookie-look at a collection... Yay! I purchased two bikes, this is the best Excelsior tank I have ever seen, plus with the built in switch and original matching light!!! The full bike to be shown at a future Sunday Show-and-tell. Yesterday I missed a red Firestone Non-Skid tire that would complete a pair (thank you Chad @saladshooter for the tip-off but I was too late, but it was a good day for Catfish). Today one came my way! Loading in the dark, time to get back to Santa Fe but I have another work meeting in the morning

Next time you're coming through Kansas City, let me know. Would love for you to drop by or at the very least I'll meet you for some good KC BBQ. Bryant's is a classic, but some of these younger guys in KC are just amazing! Safe travels. Hope to see you in Ohio and Michigan in about 3 weeks.
