Those cases were made with a join at that point & can be taken apart without cutting. I've seen one example (might be the one pictured) which had sat in a wet basement so long that the lower cabinet was unsalvageable.phonogfp wrote:Oh, they did...they did...Curt A wrote:Somebody, please re-assure me that this table top music box was manufactured this way.

Re: Oh no......
Seems to be a dialect of English. Here's the citation again to help translate: http://www.coalregion.com/ . Click on "CoalSpeak dictionary."
Apparently, working in the mines with thirteen or more European languages spoken around you did something to the speech centers of the brain.

Re: Oh no......
I lurnt a lot from dat dere site... kortz : 32 liquid ounces, always used when referring to quantities of beer.
Do they sell Ying Yang in kortz? Ya can't beat that with a stick!
Who knew there was another language in the US besides English and Spanish? That's what I like about this forum... you never know what you might learn.

Henry & I are having some fun at the expense of our neighbors in Schuykill County... they do have their own dialect down there, affectionately referred to as "Skook"...
Ying / Yingle / Ying-Yang: slang for brewed products of D.G. Yuengling & Sons, "America's oldest brewery", since 1829. Good stuff.
Steg: slang for Stegmaier Brewing Co. of Wilkes-Barre, now made by Lion Brewing Co., Wilkes-Barre, PA. Also decent stuff.
Kaier's ( Mahanoy City ), Liberty, and Rahn's ( Tamaqua ) were local brews that are now consigned to the Tap Room of history...
Sadly (?), coal culture is disappearing... the last Breaker / Colliery in the Northern Anthracite Field (Huber Colliery, Ashley, PA) was razed in 2014, after local efforts to preserve it failed to raise enough money to keep it from the scrappers. All the culm banks are being re-claimed, and developed...

The local patois up here would make Jimmy Durante sound like Laurence Olivier, by comparison !
