| #5 The fenced in area could have been to keep the cows out. I have seen that done before. You don't have to cut the grass on a working farm. Then the clothes don't get eaten. Mary seems to be definitely upscale. |

| #4 I should have said wooden pen with nib metal tip. They were not quill but small wooden and narrow like a painters fine detail brush. The ones I saw looking about are bulky. The one she is using is very fine and when used properly produces a visual work of art. She has the look of a detail sort. Oh and some pens were used to put a gold trim on ceramics. I am an amateur so some of my observations may be incorrect. I look at the history around these people of the time. A time suspended snap shot. |

| #3 The very wealthy may have had the ink bladder pen. That's not a bladder pen, Dale -- it's not thick enough. |

| #2 Interesting pictures with allot of background information. Inkwell pen. Handmade crochet blouse. Overstuffed chairs were the best. I have seen some bigger with what looks like herculon fabric. Lots of good woodwork everywhere. The fence and gate with slanted top board to let the rain run off. It appears that they rounded the boards on top corners. This appears to be depression era but these people were well off. Now I'm guessing on the pen but I have seen the pens and wells before but the well is not visible.The very wealthy may have had the ink bladder pen.Nice secretary desk with pen notch and letter opener. Ink well may be in dark corner and usually metal with a cork stopper possibly. |
