Ang25 posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 11:12 AM

Spinning wheel, Flying shuttle. Erlik beat me too it :( Your calling it the "flying wheel" or "shuttle bug" :)

Steam Engine?

Pumper Truck?

Claymor posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 11:41 AM

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


cherokee69 posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 11:46 AM

It's the hearse you have been working on.


mlevans posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 11:48 AM

a bicycle


BCEmcke posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 11:50 AM

  1. I think it is called a flying shuttle which allows you to weave faster. 2. A loom!

randym77 posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 11:54 AM

A 1968 Galleon houseboat? My guess for the name: El Capitana


brittmccary posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 12:21 PM

The Conestoga Wagon



Benettor posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 12:32 PM

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.


Ms_Outlaw posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 12:36 PM

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


xoconostle posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 12:41 PM

OK, forget it. Here goes: Early version of a submarine.


RHaseltine posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 1:00 PM

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.


SAMS3D posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 1:10 PM

Hi all you are all doing great, just wanted you to know I am here and watching. Sharen

pdxjims posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 2:03 PM

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?


SAMS3D posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 2:13 PM

Thank you pdxjims....:-) Sharen


igohigh posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 2:21 PM

A hand-powered Fire Engine?


genny posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 2:34 PM

I think it's a loom and your'e going to call it: the spinning Genny, err....I mean Jenny! LOL! genny


RHaseltine posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 2:55 PM

Pdxjims: that's what I thought, but Chambers gave Mary/Marian and I was too lazy to check elsewhere.


tialise posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 3:11 PM

I think it's one of those Leonardo-DaVinci type flying thingies...

one of those,railroad pumper platforms.that rolls on the track, with two people pumpin it...lol


Cookienose posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 3:47 PM

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. :)


islandgirldesigns posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 3:50 PM

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


rasputina posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 3:53 PM

a rickshaw, a braugham err.....


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

its a tough one :) But I think Irene must be real close

If it's a railroad push car, I think it's called dressin. :)



tialise posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 4:47 PM

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


ut0h posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 5:05 PM

soap box car name: lightening


SAMS3D posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 5:27 PM

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.....


bknoh posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 5:31 PM

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


genny posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 5:32 PM

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


Foxseelady posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 5:35 PM

utoh guessed it wiyh soap box car and it'll be called Daisy! ;) Thank you Sharen this has been fun!


SAMS3D posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 5:37 PM

Helloooooooo, a $25.00 gift certificate at Daz is up for grabs......someone already won the first gift...who will win the bonus....Sharen


bknoh posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 5:39 PM

Rosemary


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.

SAMS3D posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 6:04 PM

randym77 posted Fri, 10 October 2003 at 6:16 PM

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

SAMS3D posted Sat, 11 October 2003 at 4:58 AM

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.
