Pintail Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Photo #19 cannot be in Maine, if it is showing the maple leaf flag painted on it, surely? I could be wrong...(Perhaps the lighthouse keeper was having a bad day after he finished re-painting it and decided he didn't like the state of things and that he's rather be a Canadian?) I reckon I know five of these, maybe one or two more...I don't like these party games, for no one categorically tells you the answers!

Pintail Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Don't you have to heat invisible ink usually with a flame to see the writing? Tough on my screen, GY! ? I tell you what, Gary: number 4 is almost identical to the one in Lubec Channel...same sort of design and only differing in detail. I wonder why on earth they ever designed it in <steel>?
