treasures


My friend Mister Jalopy reached into his metaphorical shoebox of treasures and donated two special finds to my creative whims: a 1961 L.A. City brass dog license with the most fabulous patina and an especially nice vintage miniature diatonic Hohner harmonica with curlicue-embellished reed plates of brass over a wood comb, the ends still holding on to some of their original bright red paint. Look at that awesome weensy brass bail.
