I recognize the style. It is very similar to the decorative children's sleds you sometimes see from the same time period. This one is kind of...
Simply amazing. My friend had this photo. I think he is going to give it up to me fairly easily. This was likely the home of the wheel for a...
I learned a little here. I didn't know there was a such thing as a butt basket. Is it named for its suggestive shape on the *bottom? Thank you...
I don't know much about them, but played with a ton of them when I was younger and lost a lot of them as I got older. Hahaha I like the texture...
I'm not sure if anyone in Alaska does such a thing. Oxford assays raw gold all day long for miners. I suspect they take it seriously with the...
They look amazing and original. I believe it would destroy the value, whatever it may be. I do not know much about them, though. I just would...

I would say the Dawson performers could be considered gold rush. Also, the hotel photos were likely from gold rush towns. Actually, I do know...
