So, the only events I can come up with for 1733 were the invention of the "flying shuttle" and the founding of Savannah Georgia. M.Evans is a blank as is 1968. So, my two guesses are: 1. the model: A railroad handcar 2.you're calling it: the flying shuttle

My research is bringing up all sorts of fascinating historical items when I use only two or three of the hint criteria, but I can't figure out how to reconcile all of them, hmmmm. Excellent head-scratcher, Sharen! I'll keep trying for awhile, but this is a tough one.

A peddal boat... one of those boats you sit in and move with your feet. Don't know the proper name.

Well, Marian or Mary Evans was George Eliot's real name, of whom there was a biography published in 1968 - but I haven't the faintest idea where that gets us, or where 1733 comes in.

I have no idea.... But I'm bookmarking this so I can go "doh!" when the solution is finally guessed. Sharon, one of your best. BTW, It's Mary Ann Evans for George Eliot. And the only hand powered vehicles I can think of are a handcar and a rowboat. Handcar has already been guessed, so Rowboat?

Totally flummoxed so gonna say, a mill with a waterwheel; (sorry my head is out to lunch and can't remember the name of the big wheel atm). And will call it, the river mill. I'm really interested in seeing what all those items have in common. :)

I've tried taking that info and looking on the internet. NO HELP! ROFL. You guys are sneaky! LOL I'm just gonna throw a guess out. Sharen loves Koshini and has been making a ton of Koshini stuff - so - It's a UniShini Cycle! :D

Irish posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 4:38 PM
I think it's a railroad push car - the kind they used two men on, to go up and down the tracks. There was a law passed in 1968 about the push car and railway crossings in particular. The bill or Law is #1733 - M.Evans is a book company, which probably published a book on the above. :) Irene

LOL if she's right, it could be the "Upsie-Downsie Car" but I bet it would not be called that. LOLOLOLOL

Alright, now one of you have guessed what the model is, I won't say who yet. The person who came up with the right answer will get their prize but someone can still get the bonus gift. You all have a chance to guess the exact name for our model if you can figure out: 1. who has the right answer? 2. what did we call it? One guess each please, review the clues: 1733 M. Evans 1968 Hand powered vehicle and lets add some clues: 1. Remember I posted something this week regarding what this could be used for. 2. Name of a flower. 3. Polanski Sharen I would love to give the bonus gift to someone.....

Ok, all my research lead mostly toward a push car, also....but that isn't too spooky...soooo, I will guess a gurney.

It has got to be a "Torture Chamber" because that is what your are doing to me! LOL! Had lots of fun reading the thread, but I would really like to see the Herse? (: genny

randym77 posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 5:51 PM
Let's see, last week, you said it could be used for Halloween. Which perhaps implies that it could be spooky, but isn't a classic Halloween prop. And you said it wasn't the hearse. Based on the new clues, I'm guessing "baby carriage" is the right answer, and you're calling it "Rosemary's Baby Carriage."
bknoh posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 5:53 PM
HMmm...did you say we have to guess who got the right thing, too? In that case I guess it would have to be a baby carriage guessed by Billi.

Wow! I can't believe this. I never win anything. I've had my eye on your haunted houses for a long time. :-D But I gotta ask, how does 1733 connect? Was that in the movie? Or was it when baby carriages were invented? Cool hearse! But aren't you going to show us the baby carriage?
SAMS3D posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 6:33 PM
Well the clues meant this: The baby carriage was invented in 1733 by English architect William Kent for the 3rd Duke of Devonshire's children. M. Evans - stared in movie (Maurice Evans) 1968-year movie Rosemary's Baby came out. hand powered vehicle, well you know what that means second clues: flower - Rose, Roman Polanski was the director of the movie and last week I said you could use it for Halloween..... and no you can't see the baby carriage yet....sorry, I am still texturing it....but picture it in your mind, black, black and black, spooky, spooky and spooky.....LOL...Sharen

Billi, I thought of that, but your guess (the second one was for the name of the model) and the only thing you were missing was the Rosemary, so I took that as first place prize cause you guessed what it was. Don't worry, you were the only one who guessed it. Sharen Thank you all for playing.
