In the first pic and the last one there is something above Washingtons head !! First pic looks almost like a hinge of some sort but last pic looks more like numbers !!  What is it ??

It was the flash from my camera..

I picked this little gem up today and I'm completely befuddled. The frame is about 17.5"x15". The only real thing I know about this is it's George Washington. I'm not sure about the age or what it's made of. It's a smooth material and knocking on it sounds like wood.

Yes,, need to know the size !!  Looks more like an equipment box of some sort !! And with that early pic of a NY homestead I am guessing a vintage surveyers transit case !!
What is in that box lower rt front ??

It's a calendar in the corner.

I put the dimensions, would you like me put something next to it?

I picked this up at a thrift store the other day for $3.00. I for the love of God cannot find anything about this piece. In the top corner it says "August" then the bottom left it says "Homestead built by John Eldert in 1772 Belmont Avenue and Mill Road East New York". It looks like there might be a copyright date above the word "Road", but I cannot make it out. The case is 11"x10"x4". Any info would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to know if this is worth the $3.00 I spent on it. Thanks in advance!!
