Did her giant make that cute dress?

[DrWonko]

I love the classics!

Maybe Singer sewing machines were so easy to use even a Shrunken could use them.

There is a tool manufacturing place near me that used to put out calenders with tiny women posing with giant tools, they type they made. The artist's name was George Petty.

And another of Mr. Petty's work.

Yay! Pin-up art!
Only wish The artist would have seated the pretty spokes-person on the wrench rather than placing it across her lap, but I suppose the Ridgid company is in the business of selling pipe wrenches rather than tiny women. Too bad!

Lol! That's true. But we little women do get regular work doing this!

(must have a look for that tool belt pic background)

Most people know his work without knowing the y do. For example, this was one of his works.........

Is this more to your liking?

[HHunter1]

They say they just sell tools. That they are just advertising the tools they make and sell. But Ridgid has had a secret little side business they have been openly advertising for decades. You just have to know the right product code. Ba ba bum!

As a matter of fact, yes. And let me also add that I wouldn't mind trading places with that pipe wrench either...

The "Spartan" looks like the Singer sewing machine that my grandmother on my mom's side bought new in the 1940's (and later gave to my mom), except that hers is in a wooden cabinet, with a matching wooden stool. Beautiful gloss black finish, with gold scrollwork that was probably hand-painted. It must be an early electric model, because the electric motor looks like it was added as an afterthought, hanging on the back, with a belt running to the "wheel" on the right side of the sewing machine. Plus there's a hole in the base for the rod from a treadle. My mom still has the original instruction manual (though the cover is now in two pieces), the little box of attachments that came with the sewing machine, and an accessory buttonhole attachment, with the original box and instructions. (In the early 1980's, I bought an accessory zigzag attachment, with the original box and instructions, at a flea market. But it turned out to be for a different model.)
