The Hudson Motor Car Company manufactured Hudson and other brand automobiles in Detroit, MI, from 1909 to 1954. In 1954, Hudson merged with Nash-Kelvinator to form American Motors Corporation. The Hudson name was continued through the 1957 model year, after which it was discontinued.
Originally, the Essex was to be a product of the Essex Motor Company, a wholly owned entity of Hudson Motor Car Company. The Essex brand of automobile was produced by the Essex Motor Company between 1918 and 1922, and later by Hudson Motor Car Company of Detroit, MI between 1922 and 1933.
When Hudson introduced the Essex brand line of automobiles, it was originally for budget-minded buyers, and it was designed to compete with Ford and Chevrolet, as opposed to the more up-scale Hudson line. The Essex found great success by offering one of the first affordable sedan moving the combined Hudson and Essex sales from seventh to third by 1925 in the U.S. The Essex is generally credited with starting a trend away from open touring car designs toward enclosed passenger compartments.
More than 1.13 million Essex automobiles were sold by the time the Essex name was retired in 1932. That year the Essex Motor Company was dissolved, and the cars officially became a product of Hudson.

The Hughes H-4 Hercules (also known as the Spruce Goose; registration NX37602) is a prototype strategic airlift flying boat designed and built by the Hughes Aircraft Company. Intended as a transatlantic flight transport for use during World War II, it was not completed in time to be used in the war. The aircraft made only one brief flight on November 2, 1947, and the project never advanced beyond the single example produced.
Built from wood because of wartime restrictions on the use of aluminum and concerns about weight, the aircraft was nicknamed the Spruce Goose by critics, although it was made almost entirely of birch. The Hercules is the largest flying boat ever built, and it had the largest wingspan of any aircraft that had ever flown until the Scaled Composites Stratolaunch first flew on April 13, 2019. The aircraft remains in good condition. After having been displayed to the public in Long Beach, California, from 1980 to 1991, it is now on display at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon, United States.

JB Royal INDEPENDENCE BLUE resin blanks with suspended shredded resin cut-offs from the over-pour of other Alumilite and JB Royal resin blocks. The suspended material is a wild variety of mixes to form a kaleidoscope of colors.
Blank Sizes:
- 5" Long Blank measures a minimum of 3/4" square
- 9" Kitless Blank measures 3/4" round
- 2-1/2" Stopper Blank measures 1-1/2" round
- 5" Call Blank measures 1-1/2" round
You may find this to be opaque. We recommend back painting the blank after drilling. Using different colors for back painting will yield wildly different effects and results.
As with any suspended material blanks, there is the likely hood of tiny bubbles. These bubbles can easily be remedied with CA (cyanoacrylate) glue.

History of the Material:
Independence Hall is a historic civic building in Philadelphia, PA, where both the United States Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and adopted by America's Founding Fathers. The structure forms the centerpiece of the Independence National Historical Park. Independence Hall was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1966 and as a World Heritage Site in 1979.
The building was completed in 1753 as the Pennsylvania State House. It served as the first capitol of both the United States and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It was the principal meeting place of the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1781, and was the site of the Constitutional Convention, at which the U.S. Constitution, the longest-standing written and codified national constitution in the world, was ratified on June 21, 1788.
A convention held in Independence Hall in 1915, presided over by former U.S. president William Howard Taft, marked the formal announcement of the formation of the League to Enforce Peace, which led to the League of Nations in 1920 and the United Nations in 1945, a quarter century later.
Completed in 1735 as the Pennsylvania State House, it took two years to build Independence Hall home of the 1st Continental Congress and the Declaration of Independence and where the Constitution was debated and put to paper.
During the renovation of Independence Hall in 1897-98, 16 of the original beams holding up the floor on which the giants of the era debated the future of the 13 Colonies were replaced under the supervision of the project manager and superintendent of the Independence Hall, Samuel Reeves. Rather than discarding the beams, Reeves retained possession of the old timbers.

During the renovation of Independence Hall in 1897-98, 16 of the original beams holding up the floor on which the giants of the era debated the future of the 13 Colonies were replaced under the supervision of the project manager and superintendent of the Independence Hall, Samuel Reeves. Rather than discarding the beams, Reeves retained possession of the old timbers.
In 1912 Reeves sold the beams and other materials including wood interior railings, outer iron railings, and other materials to John S. McQuade a builder and member of the Philadelphia City Council for the purposes of cutting them up and making “relics”, but McQuade stored the beams for 12 years and in 1924 sold them to two brothers Walter and Clarence Deisroth owners of a paper box company in Philadelphia.
The Deisroth’s reduced some beams to 100,000 slivers and sold them as souvenirs during the Sesquicentennial Exposition of 1926.
In 1956 the Deisroth’s company went into bankruptcy and at auction Mr. Henry Gouse a retired sales engineer and the Mid-Atlantic Tennis Champion of the 1940s bought the wood at auction, along with what was left of the timbers, thousands of chips, and 20 gallons of sawdust, byproduct of producing the 100,000 slivers was included in the lot.
Grouse stored the beams and other materials in a barn on his property on the outskirts of Philadelphia where he made gavels out of some of the beams and presented them over the years to: President Eisenhower, President Nixon, Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaulle and other political leaders. Grouse also gave 4 of the beams to Independence Hall and the National Park Service, confirmed in a National Park Service letter acknowledging “the gift”.
In 1975 Gouse was in his 80s and his ex-wife “reluctantly” sold the remaining woodpile to an artist and attorney from whose estate Bob DeMartino and History Salvaged was able to acquire the remaining Witness Wood®.
Mrs. Grouse only sold the Witness Wood® because of the high cost of living and her economic situation, she simply could no longer afford to keep the timbers and sold the Witness Wood® with the understanding that it would not be desecrated.
The new owners subsequently cut up much of the wood again into slivers, producing thousands of history cards and memorabilia that were sold during the Bi-Centennial in 1976 all over the country and in many major department stores including Wannamaker’s Department Store of Philadelphia.
The remnant wood has dried out and has been deteriorating in storage since the 1970s until the History Salvaged acquisition and repurposing in 2010.
The Witness Wood® was later sold to Hardin Penworks, LLC in 2025 where it was stabilized and processed to make pens and knives from the historic material. Stadium Pen Blanks, a subsidiary of Hardin Penworks, LLC, has made the material available to their customers of historic relics.

The olive tree is a small tree. Its scientific name is Olea europaea. A long time ago, it came from the coastal areas of the eastern Mediterranean, from Syria and the maritime (next to the sea) parts of Asia Minor and northern Iran at the south end of the Caspian Sea. It has been farmed for a very long time. The Ancient Greeks were farming it. They spread the trees to the western part of the Mediterranean.

Bolt from the Blue into Murphy Magic – Snag Your Chargers Charge!
Imagine bolting for a bolt with a pen slashed from seats that crackled with Charger chaos at Jack Murphy, or uncorking AFC West wins with a stopper surging in powder blue bolt. From end-zone rings reliving Fouts' fireworks to tailgate-tough knives carving fish taco feasts—each powerhouse is lathe-forged from authentic stadium shards, zapping Air Coryell airs into heirloom hits. Rally your row and unleash the Bolts' relentless rush in every revolution!
Jack Murphy Stadium: Chargers' San Diego Shrine of Gridiron Glory
Jack Murphy Stadium, nestled in San Diego's Mission Valley, served as the sun-soaked sanctuary for the San Diego Chargers from its inaugural kickoff. Originally San Diego Stadium, groundbreaking ignited in 1960 on a $27 million blueprint to lure the AFL's expansion Chargers westward, and it burst open on September 10, 1961, with the Bolts topping the Oakland Raiders 37-0 before 20,000 fans—heralding Southern California's football dawn and instantly etching its Balboa Park-adjacent vibe into AFL lore. Renamed in 1981 for sports editor Jack Murphy, whose columns championed the venue, it symbolized San Diego's spirited surge to pro sports prominence.

Located in Orange County, Virginia, Montpelier was the plantation home of the Madison family, including James the “Father of the American Constitution” and fourth president of the United States, and his wife Dolley. James Madison is one of the most revered thinkers in American history. History often focuses on his mild demeanor and small stature; however, he is arguably one of the most important figures of the Founding Era.
In 1723, James Madison's grandfather, Ambrose Madison, and his brother-in-law, Thomas Chew, received a patent for 4,675 acres of land in the Piedmont of Virginia. Ambrose, his wife Frances Madison, and their three children moved to the plantation in 1732, naming it Mount Pleasant. The origins of the name Montpelier are uncertain, but the first recorded use of the name comes from a 1781 James Madison letter. Madison personally liked the French spelling of the name Montpellier.
Montpelier was declared a National Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. It was included in the Madison-Barbour Rural Historic District in 1991. In 1983, the last private owner of Montpelier, Marion duPont Scott, bequeathed the estate to the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
This Cedar of Lebanon Tree, circa 1850s, stood next to the formal garden gate at Montpelier Estate. After unsuccessful attempts to save the tree, it was removed in July 2019.
President James Madison was known to have planted Cedar of Lebanon trees on the grounds of Montpelier Estate. The Local lore says that three Cedars of Lebanon were a gift from France to President Madison presented by Lafayette during his visit to Montpelier in 1824.

Joe Louis Arena is a defunct multi-purpose arena in Downtown Detroit. Completed in 1979 at a cost of $57 million as a replacement for Olympia Stadium, it sits adjacent to Cobo Center on the bank of the Detroit River and was accessible by the Joe Louis Arena station on the Detroit People Mover. The venue is named after former heavyweight champion boxer Joe Louis, who grew up in Detroit.
It was the home of the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League and the second oldest NHL venue after Madison Square Garden until the start of the 2017–18 NHL season. Joe Louis Arena is owned by the city of Detroit, and operated by Olympia Entertainment, a subsidiary of team owner Ilitch Holdings.
In April 2017, the Red Wings hosted their final game at Joe Louis Arena; the venue was succeeded by Little Caesars Arena. Closed on July 29, 2017, the venue is scheduled for demolition in 2019.
