Antique Desk?

Posted on by Sharon

I bought this desk last weekend. I don’t have much information on it, but here are several photos that might give someone enough to identify the style, period, wood, etc. I talked to David Cox and Dick Davis at Dave’s antique shop downtown and got some possible  info.

Click on any photo and if you click on  “all sizes”, you’ll get a much closer view.

– The hardware is NOT brass.

– The wood is probably mahogany.

– It may have been built in the early 1900’s.

– It looks like it is Governor Winthrop style.

– It is signed on a piece of paper on the back.

I’d love to find out more about this and how to proceed with the refinishing. Most of it is down to the bare wood, but there has been some repair done with filler near the top and the cubbies inside need to be sanded. I’d like to do this myself, but I’m not sure how. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!           —–Sharon

Bass Rock’s Motel Roof ends up on 13th Green

Posted on by Manuel F. Simoes

Part of the Roof blew off in Thursday’s storm, and also up-rooted a tree on the 13th green at Bass Rocks Golf Course.  Some Golfers were happy the tree is gone, but Tracey the owner of the motel was not thrilled about the roof.   Click on photos to enlarge.

Thank you to the GMG Family!

This past year and a half has been amazing. When Joey invited me to come aboard as a GMG contributor, I never realized how much my life would change. Not only has it been a great place to show my photography, I get to play. The electronic yodeling pickle, the puffy shirt, all of that!

What a great place to share the good times and the bad! Our GMG family congratulates us as well as supports us when the going gets tough.

I just want to thank Joey, Paul, Frank, Mike, Laurie, Manny, and everyone who makes being on this blog an incredible place to hang out! Big hugs for all!

Well It Was A Real Shit Storm Last Night

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Pulled into the driveway at the dock only to find the port-a-potty is lost at sea.

It blew off the dock sometime last night. Our lobstermen are having a ball with this one.  I’ve never heard so many bad puns in my entire life.

My favorite so far-  “Well boys it was a real shit storm last night” -That one was from Mark Ring.
