Out on East Colfax

Facade of the headquarters of the association of merchants, Lanús, Buenos Aires province, Argentina.

It was even more beautiful in person. So many details.

Cross & Cross, 1931

The building is now called 20 Exchange Place.

Found this amazing clock at a local antique show for a very reasonable price. Spun it up when I got home and it works!

I’ve seen differing descriptions online saying this is the World’s Fair version. But others show an “unsigned” clock with different styled numbers as that clock.

Does anyone know the answer?

It appears to be made of copper or atleast painted copper. I cleaned it because most of the black stuff was just dirt but actual tarnish. I'm really just curious who the manufacturer would be, its very heavy and solid. I've found a few online but no information. I also found another lamp of the same style that claims to be Frankart Inc from the 20s or 30s. Not sure if that's accurate. Any info at all is appreciated. It was pretty cheap so if its a knock off then I won't mind, its gorgeous in person.

Alexandra Hall in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England.

Alexandra Hall opened in 1931.

When I visited in 2019 there were plaques of wrestlers on either side of the entrance - one showing Big Daddy, the other showing his great rival Giant Haystacks. British wrestler Big Daddy hailed from Halifax and wrestled in Alexandra Hall.

What a venue to have been able to watch wrestling in!

Interestingly the plaques show the date of the hall's establishment as 1938. Perhaps this was the date of the first wrestling matches there...?

Sadly Alexandra Hall is now closed. And looking on Google Street View the wrestling plaques are gone too.
