Maizey.....yeh those last ones were easy....hey....I even got one....lol I also knew the music box one but I didn't get here in time.
So, if this is alive but it's not a plant or a pet it must be some other animal or bug maybe? Is it a frog/toad or a butterfly?

Buckleysmom, it is an insect. Can you guess what kind? Come on lady, you've almost got it!
graylox, it does not live in the house but when the weather is nice they are outside. I took the actual picture near my pond.

I posted my guess awhile ago but he hasn't been back to say yea or nay. I said: G#11 -Mail box face plate in the vestibule of a building or a post office? (A round hole for the lock and rectangular hole for the window.)

goodgotd, where did you ever find that mailbox face? It has to be from the 20's or 30's. I like it! That could make for and interesting piece in the garden or even on a wall.

bought it at a scrap metal yard, at scrap brass prices. they had a couple of tons, but even at a buck a pound I couldn't afford many. I was a placer gold miner at the time.
I have a couple of that size bottom-hinge, and a half-dozen side-hinge in 2 smaller sizes.
as for age, the one here by the bed says national, 1962.
here's the front and rear views.
And the ones on the boxes here in drain are used today. I get my mail in one.

good job guys!
pass the pigs is pretty fun.
maizey- just to clarify, when i made the guess about the contact lenses, i meant those contact lenses that make your eyes look like lizard eyes. i didn't really think you collect reptile body parts in your spare time.
:D

Aha.. so now we know your age!!! My oldest dtr was born in '58 and son in'59.
Just got back online.. had some pretty bad thunder/lightening/rain storms earlier! Figured I'd better not only shut down but unplugged everything.. the cable cord as well as the phone line at the fax. Better safe than sorry, learned that the hard way! Now trying to play catch up on anything I've missed! Had to sedate both dogs.. vet calls it 'storm fright'.. they freak out when it's thundering, actually it's valium! They had much worse weather south of us in Atlanta with all those tornado's, etc. We're really lucky here, most of the bad stuff passes us by since we're in a cove surrounded by a bowl of mountains!
Since we knew it was going to rain, we spread out about 20 lbs. of grass seed in the front yard yesterday, which had gotten totally messed up last summer from having to totally replace our septic system and leech field, topped off by a drought so we couldn't water or the well would run dry! The "joys" of country living! LOL

qb7894 - Maybe you could try a natural product that mimics pheromones. These are touted to relieve stress in cats. Some say they worked for them and others say they had no effect. I've never tried them but was tempted when I moved because one of my cats became stressed over the change in environment.
Here is a link to Doctors Foster & Smith showing all their stress relief products.
It's sad that you have lost your dog and that you and your cat have to endure the additional stress. It must be hard. I'm sorry for your loss.

G012 looks very like a coin detail? I'm not very good on US currency - I prefer harder ones like the Turkish lira!
