Antiques at the Buffalo Bill Museum
This is a close up image of an automatic pilot vertical gyro for aviation. I found it in part of the Buffalo Bill Museum in Le Clarie, Iowa. The whole museum was filled full of antiques that mostly had little to nothing to do with Buffalo Bill, but I had fun taking phones none the less. This item was something you could walk right up to. They were lacking "do not touch" signs, so I moved it around and spun it in every direction since that's what you can do with gyros.

Worm Disease
These small bottles were the medic's kit on boats. That's not a whole lot of medicine... But let's hope no one gets worm disease anytime soon.
5 Year Warranty
This is part of a clothe wringer. Seems like you can't find anything with a 5 year guarantee these days anymore.
Old Crank
Cracked Paint
This is the second "Coolerator" refrigerator that I've seen, both of which have been in Iowa (I took a picture of the other one I saw here). I turned this photo into an HDR shot because I thought it would bring out the nice textures and colors in the cracking paint.
Clark's Lime Kilns
Not sure why there were crates that said Clark's Lime Kilns on it. But I approve of this box.
Clark Button Factory
Not sure why there were crates that said Clark's Button Factory on it. But I approve of this box as well as the previous photo.
Lone Star
The Lone Star is a wooden-hulled boat built in 1868 and decommissioned in 1967. They have it on display at the Buffalo Bill Museum and you can walk all around and in it.
