Bottles and jars that I found in a riverside dump that stopped being used in the early 1960s

I like the milk glass pieces the most. I also found other stuff in the dump like part of a gas light and old 1920s linoleum.

Abandoned third floor of 1930s high school.

This is the third floor of a high school, the school is still active but the third floor closed in 1974 because the school district did not consider it to be modern enough. It was constructed in different parts between 1927 and 1940, then remodeled in 1959. Because it was closed long ago it serves as a time capsule of school in the 1960s. It is now used for storage.

Does anyone remember or know what the top of the Tosa High School tower looked like on the inside?

I attend and study the history Wauwatosa East, I have been to many parts of Tosa East but not the top of the tower as it was torn down in 1974. I am wondering what it looked like at the top on the inside, I am aware of the two fourth floor class rooms that are below it’s location however there is remnants of a staircase that led to the room of the tower. I heard that there was a classroom inside the tower and it was referred to as a fifth floor classroom but I am not sure if that’s true or what it looked like, i believe the top of the tower was closed during a 1959 renovation as a 1974 alumni said they could not go in the tower even though it existed when they went there. I built an interpretation of it in Minecraft and I am not sure if it is at all accurate. If you have any photos or other pre 1974 photos of the school they would be appreciated. Thank you

Does anyone have old pipe fittings they want to get rid of? If they are old enough I would likely buy them.

I collect old pipe fittings especially plastic fittings from the 1960s, if you have old ABS, PVC, or some odd type of pipe that you are trying to get rid of I would likely be interested in buying it.

Does any one have an overgrown looking house I could use the front yard for filming?

Hello, I am in the Milwaukee area and I am working on a short movie. I would like part of it to take place on the yard and porch of a house, the filming would involve me and two other people. As long as the house is at least from the 1930s and has a bit of overgrown space around it then it would be very helpful. Thank you

Does anyone know where to find linoleum with these geometric patterns? That type of linoleum was really common in the 1930s and 40s but I can’t find any modern versions of it.

Does anyone know where to find these clear DWV fittings? It is easy to find clear pressure fittings however I found this example of DWV fittings.

Looking up close those fittings appear to have been made by R&G Sloane under the GSR brand name, that company got acquired about 20 years ago so the clear fittings probably have not been made since. If anyone has old stock or an idea of where to get them it would be really appreciated.

Does anyone have an old white Davis brand inner tube? I collect old inner tubes and have been trying to buy one of these but I can’t find one, I read about them on a forum and they were made by Western Auto.

Has anyone one else seen a house with an abandoned floor? I visited this house with an old bedroom in the third floor attic, the room has a sink in the corner and appears to have been vacant for decades.

Does anyone know where to find one of these Milwaukee style P traps, they used to be very common in Milwaukee county but are different than the current ones available.

Does anyone know where to find these tiles? I saw them in a 1931 building and I would like to use similar ones for a project.

I believe these tiles were made by the continental faience and tile company of South Milwaukee Wisconsin however I am not able to get results of the same item. Thanks
