Vintage Winnipesaukee Stuff?
 

Just refinished the lower level of the abode. I am trying to decorate in a nautical early lake Winnipesaukee theme.

The current line up is...

I scored a vintage Lake Winni Pennant off of E-bay.

I have a 1958 Johnson Outboard with about 10 original hours.


I am trying to find some of the vintage Boston & Maine Posters that featured Lake Winnipesaukee as a destination? Anyone have a line on those?

Any other ideas and suggestions will be appreciated!

...old wood spar marker #3
 

While it doesn't belong to me, probably the new owner is not aware of what it is, or was. It's now lying on the ground with no particular use or purpose at the rear of some ground cover landscaping used basically as an unnecessary border, or something. It's big; maybe 15'x12"x12"x tapered ends, heavy; maybe 200lbs, and looks to be in good condition. It is the old wood #3 spar marker, that was replaced a couple years ago with a marker made of pvc plastic.
What's a good use for an old wood Winnipesaukee spar marker other than as a non-landscaping, seemingly discarded timber?

Vintage Winnipesaukee stuff?
 

Hi Woodsy. Found an Ebay site with a lot of different links to sellers / stores. A lot of vintage postcard sites but some sites with unique items.

Will explore some more. Good luck!

Sorry Woodsy but I think McDude has all the Winni memorabelia that was ever produced,including railroad stuff.He could probably be of some help though.

Wow, that would make a great marker at the end of the driveway. (even if my house number isn't #3) :look:

I have what is called ephemera...which means paper stuff...postcards, magazines etc....stuff that scans nicely and looks good when posted. For more homey articles you'll have to watch e-bay and check out the local antique places for ideas. For more ideas or to get something you bought on e-bay matted check out The Art Place in Wolfeboro.

Feel free to print out anything that I have posted here onto some high quality photo paper and put it in a frame:rolleye1:

You must have an old pair of skiis or the old oars/paddles under the deck that would look nice with a coat of polyurethane.....?

1911 Winnipissiogee reprint
 

The Lake Winni Historical Society sells prints and books: www.lwhs.us/shop.htm

The Weirs Times is advertising LWHS reprints of a 1911 Winnipissiogee map (or is it a chart?).
