Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Remember them? I just saw a modern version: a guy going into a smoke shop dropped a box and was still picking up the contents when I came by: about 200 marijuana leaves bronzed and with a clip pin on the back so they could be worn on your clothes. I asked where he got them and he said he makes them and that several smoke shops in the area carry them. They sell for $10.00 and he sells about 700 every two weeks all over the quad cities area. Whooda thunk it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 My mom and dad bronzed my baby shoes. I have no idea what became of them. My dad used to hang them from his rear view mirror until I was in elementary school then they went into a box somewhere. I know some people I would like to have bronzed. Or maybe Carbonite, like Han Solo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I'm 75 and I thought this was old-fashioned when I was a kid; a thing of my parents' generation. Apparently lasted longer some places. Edit: just checked with my wife and she said her mom bronzed hers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Could be worse, I'm a few years older than you and have a photo of Dad as an infant on a Bearskin Rug. That was apparently a thing in the 'roaring '20's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I remember a pair. I don't remember three pair though, so I'm guessing these were my older brother's. And they weren't just the shoes, like in Johnson's post. And you certainly couldn't have hung them from your rear view mirror. They were set on a plaque. One about a half step in front of the other, so it looked like an invisible baby was walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
