    My wife thinks I’m nuts for buying this but I couldn’t resist! It’s a very large chalkware piece advertising CEETEE brand underwear from the C. Turnbull Milling Company of Galt, Ontario. It’s in far from perfect condition but I believe most of the paint is orginal. As I’m confident it dates to about 1905, this makes this bit of fragile chalkware quite the survivor.

    Oops! Will try to fix. In the past I’ve used Imgur but now I’m finding links to my images there no longer work.
