UK Collector of Pressed Pennies and so much more: @metalcorekitty Pocket Poet
This Sunday's Chat and Explore while it is cold outside we are going to Explore Pressed Pennies. I'll look at the big bag of pressed pennies/elongated pennies. Starting in 1893 at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago to the modern time the pressed penny had been part of our culture.
If you don't know the term pressed penny maybe you are familiar with one of the other terms : squished pennies, flattened pennies, rolled out pennies and elongated pennies or coins.
Three Major Time Periods:
Colloquially from 1893 to 1965
Modern Elongateds from 1966 to 1985
Contemporary Elongateds from 1986 to present day.
Most of the historical information as gathered by the following websites. For further information check them out.

The Postal Lock Series has ended its first season and will return once I finished The Puzzle Box.
We start out looking at an old school puzzle called a Tangram. Talk about some of it history and find possible solutions from a couple puzzles. I will continue with a few more Tangram puzzles or move on to other puzzles next week. I also touch on a few pickers that I have puzzle videos.

This the third episode in a series of videos dealing with Postal Locks. First covering locks from the United States ?? and covering the handful of postal locks I have from foreign countries such as Australia ?? and Canada ??.
In this episode we take a look at some locks the USPS outsourced instead of making themselves at the Mail Equipment Shops. These door and their locks have varied over the years. First starting out as key operatored doors, then in the 1930s switching to a combination style lock. These comination locks took different forms depending on the manufactorer. I am aware of a single combination and a dual combination. To see an excellent decoding of a single dial combination checkout Sgr A8's video:

In 1969 they moved to the next phase of PO Box door locks. Watch the video for more detail.
For a look at the backside of the PO Box check out this video:
