WOWSY, what a collection, on left Brett Kramera nd his friend Ron Lough, on the right ! Brett Kramer of Aplington, Iowa contacted me about his Colt's Plastics collection and was kind enough to send me some photographs. First introduced to the world of Colt by his friend, Ron Lough, he was hooked on collecting examples immediately. As you can see the horse in the center of the tablecloth, this is one marking you may find on Colt's products. Colorful Colt Make Up Kit, courtesy of the Brett Kramer Collection Researching this company for me, was a perfect example of how our early economy worked and how industrialism came to be. To understand the inception of Colt's Plastic Division you must go back to early 1836 . At this time was the inception of what would be known 100 years later as the Colt Firearms Company. Based in Hartford, Connecticut, they were an early manufacturer of guns. Collectors will tell you early examples had signature handle of Bakelite and early plastics. Obviously with so much production, the company would decide to buy out or acquire a molding company for it's own needs to keep production costs low. Just when that was, is unknown but we do know according to the Colt's Plastics official history, the plastics division branched out in 1920's from the fireams division making a slew of items from electrical wares to make up kits. There is much mention of Colt Plastics and Colt Rock in militia and gun collector's books, and much interest in their products. I assume collecting on the gun side, would be endless possibilities. Brett was lucky enough to acquire Colt Rock Buttons on the original card. Early Colt's products were made of it special "plastic" molduing compound they called Colt-Rock. One would assume this to be an early form of Bakelite plastic, but since it was their own proprietary compound, I am not exactly certain. As you can tell, it would be hard if you had a ton of loose buttons to know exactly which ones were Colt-Rock, but lucky for Brett Kramer he found the ones above and below (after research) with clues on their original factory cards. Above indicates with the Colt horse logo, and indeed it says Colt-Rock, one of their early plastics. Brett's research has led him to amazing discoveries! Lucky for Brett his research paid off and these fun colorful buckle and button combinations have been added to his collection. How lovely and colorful! Old beauty jars such as these were made by Colt's Plastics Division. Courtesy , Brett Kramer According to the company's history circa 1930's it focused on the beauty and cosmetic industry, making lids for cold cream jars and containers that contained their "Featherlite" plastic compound. One would assume this new "featherlite" line was indeed lighter and less bulky than Colt-Rock. Imagine just how many cream jar containers are long gone, but yet Brett has managed to collect many great examples... More examples from Brett's collection. Lovely examples from Brett's collection may otherwise go unnoticed. Brett says some of these articles comprise only half his collection. He is always looking for more examples to add to his collection, so if you think you have pieces of Colt as photographed here, make sure to contact him at the address below. A rare score for Brett, the items are still on their original display stand. Brett says his wife is very supportive of his collecting habits. Brett says his wife went with him to the Colt Collector's Association meeting in Oklahoma , where these photos were taken. She welcomes his collection. Ironically, the Colt's Plastic Division lives on, and is still making plastics for the cosmetic industry today. Contracts include Elizaeth Arden. They did change ownership in 1958 followed by a move in the 70's to Dayville, Connecticut from their original location. However it's nice to know that one company, has seemingly survived it's production in America. They still do make parts for guns as well.

MAKE A CD BALLOON HOVERCRAFT DESIGNED WITH KIDS' ART
The Heritage Rough Rider 45LC handles well and has a nice fit and finish for the price. I got the 5.5 inch model with the old west distressed finish. The action is smooth and is well balanced. The grips are high quality cocabolo wood. It's a good choice for cowboy action shooting, not too expensive and a well made pistol. It also comes in a blued or stainless steel finish. The Belt and Holster was made by Classic Old West Styles (COWS) from El Paso Texas, it came to me from the actor and cowboy action shooter who played Butch Cassidy on Pax TV's episode of Butch Cassidy Smartest or Luckiest Outlaw" from the series Encounters With The Unexplained.

Seems like everyone's talking about the importance of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) these days. And hey, I get it. We live in a highly technological world that's rapidly advancing in all sorts of new ways. We want our kids to be be creative and adaptive problem solvers. But maybe you're like me and you deeply love arts and crafts. They're your jam. And maybe you're unsure how to dive into all this STEAM goodness. Hey, I get that too. Hopefully today's post will help. In this post I sharing over 40 ideas for arts and craft projects that also happen to incorporate STEM ideas. Yup.

You got the quick guide. So now let's roll up our sleeves and break down each of these ideas! Make Art Materials with Kids Store bought art materials are awesome. They're quick and easy to use. But did you know that there's a TON of science involved in making these materials? (Side note- I recently read this book and cannot recommend it enough. History, science, intrigue... who knew all these things went on to create colors!) To help give kids a firsthand experience to this process, try making your own art supplies together! Cutting, mixing, melting, cooking, combining, problem solving..... they get to be a color scientist! With a little bit of science, technology, engineering and mathematics know-how, you can create any of these art supplies from everyday materials!
