  These are presumably American Indian artifacts. www.johnhillgallery.com/gpage1.html has some dolls with similar characteristics. From what I can see on the web, the Hopi and Zuni tribes would be the most likely source -- of the tribes in what is now the U.S. But maybe they come from further south.

Interior view of St. James' Cathedral in Townsville

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  St James Anglican Cathedral, constructed in English Bond red brick with dressed sandstone trim, is located on a terraced site on Melton Hill between the Townsville central business district and Cleveland bay. The Gothic Revival building was built in two stages, both of which are quite obvious, both in materials and design. The main roof is clad with slate and has a small spire over the nave and transept junction. The lower roof to the side aisles and ambulatory has ribbed metal cladding. The chancel is surrounded by an ambulatory which contains the vestry and a Seaman's Chapel. The north transept has a large organ loft inserted and the roof features exposed trusses with a diagonally boarded ceiling. Cast iron columns with clerestory above separate the side aisles from the nave. The clerestory of the original section of the building contains stained glass windows.

  Looks more like a difference engine of some sort than a typewriter.

• derangedlemur said:

  I would guess that between the book keeping and the contents of the cupboards that they are learning to be dispensing chemists rather than court reporters.

  This just in! Over at a wedding in Kilkenny, 15 of 16 people just got named! Ringing the Flickr Bell so hard that the clappers shot out of it and nearly brained a colleague...
