This is the one tag and daily challenge that I always make a point of joining, and also look through the posts of others that join the challenge and seeing markets from all around the world.

For this weeks post,I continue of the same theme as my last couple of Market Friday Posts in the Rotch–Jones–Duff House and Garden Museum, with a few of my favorite pieces on display.
But first lets start with a shot of the property from the gardens

A little bit about the property
The William Rotch Jr. House, now the Rotch–Jones–Duff House and Garden Museum, is a National Historic Landmark at 396 County Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts, in the United States. The three families whose names are attached to it were all closely tied to the city's nineteenth-century dominance of the whaling industry. Because of this, the house is part of the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park.
Richard Upjohn built the house in the Greek Revival architectural style for William Rotch Jr. in 1834, on a New Bedford plot Rotch had inherited from his father. It was Upjohn's first house, near the beginning of a long career. Rotch also commissioned a garden in the rear, which later owners would significantly expand. The property remained private until 1981, when it was bought by local preservationists and reopened as a historic house museum. It was declared a National Historic Landmark and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Today the museum educates visitors not only about whaling but, through its gardens and associated programs for local schools, about the environment as well.

They gave a printout which described what was in each room, and they also had descriptions by many of the pieces

Now these are the favorite pieces I saw while in the museum, and are just in the order I came across them,

Starting with these cool pieces on a cards table, for keeping track of the score

Being a Telecom Tech back in the day I do love seeing old Phones and such, by the way when I started as a tech phones were more advances than this one, so I am not that old lOL

Being in the army for 12 years I became pretty good at ironing, but again fortunately the irons I used were more modern than this one

This is some sort of Drink container i gather, but for me it was a cool find

So much so I got shots of it from a couple of angles

An old Sewing Machine I have seen Singer sewing machines of this era, the name Bradbury was new to me

A very early elevator, Having been in two incidents with faulty elevators, including dropping two and a half floors once, I am kind of glad this ne was not running.
PS I still ride elevators even after the two incidents but always stand in the corner holding the rail and with my knees bent lOL

Lulu smiles every time she sees me do that, I think partly because it looks kind of funny and partly because if the incidents had happened to her she would probably not ride an elevator
