Doing a little housecleaning; moving pictures about, came across this. Some of you may not have seen this one, posted elsewhere:

Fannie Frack here has obviously led an adventure-filled life. Oft repaired and repainted, and maybe even remounted. That's her secret, and we will not pry into the affairs of grand old ladies.

Eagle yet flys; better days but a memory.

Frannie reveals all. She's a worldly lass; bawdy to boot and with a dark side.

(Great patina to the RAO, don't you think?)

"Show us yer bottom, Frannie," the men in the tavern shouted over the frothy rims of their ale-filled mugs. Hoisted quickly onto a table by a dozen searching hands, she did just that...

OK... I'm not too sure what prompted all that, but enjoy.

...still she does not reveal too much harkening back to a time when she was every inch a lady.

It does always seem to be shame when these get chipped up just from being mounted over the years. A common occurance with bars, unfortunately. It doesn't detract from the beauty and appreciation for me though! Nice Bar!
