Tolstoi out in the wild
 

I went on a very interesting tour in Kingston NY yesterday -- a history tour of the Reher Bakery, a family bakery that opened there in 1899. (The Reher Center) The bakery was in operation, under one family, until 1980. Also sold canned goods and cigarettes and the like. After that it sat unused but untouched, a real time capsule. It went to a nonprofit in 2004 that has preserved it and now gives talks, has a gallery, and etc.

Amazingly, on the side of its original glass display case is a decal advertising Tolstoi cigarettes. It's a musem so not quite "in the wild" but close enough. Really cool to see a trace of the world that existed during the t206 era.

Boy, there certainly were several decades where disembodied hands were en vogue!

That glass cabinet is quite a treasure, Mr. Brown. You must have stopped in your tracks. Thanks for the photo.
