[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1785274, member: 42463"] I've found some of those old receipts occasionally. I bought an old roll top desk and in the process of cleaning it up and refinishing I found everything from buggy/stable to model A paperwork tucked in cracks. I just passed my grandfather's tool chest down to my son last year. Part of the legacy was his apprenticeship papers to learn pattern making. Sand casting twenty foot iron wheels and gears down to the small stuff. If I remember right his training was five years and he started at fifteen cents a day. I remember there was a fund that accumulated of a penny a day and when he finished his apprenticeship he got the entire amount. I think journeymen made 7 dollars a week, big money then. [/QUOTE]
