Hello community, after a long time without publishing I'm back again. I am a little "lost", I see that many things have changed, it is likely that I will make a mistake, I appreciate you pointing it out to me and telling me how to correct it because I want to integrate well into this community.

For this contest convocated by @m-fdo I bring four pics...I find them very interesting because they are antiques.
I went to accompany a friend to take her grandson's kitten to a veterinarian who serves far from the small town where we live. The kitten has mastitis and requires surgery and I accompanied my friend to this veterinarian's house.

When we were waiting to be served, I saw some ancient objects and took photos of them. These are charcoal plates.
They were the irons that our grandmothers used before electricity was used.

(Well, you who must be younger than me should think of it in terms of "the irons your great-great-grandmothers used.")

There were two types of irons: Some were placed directly on the fire and as soon as they were very hot, the soot left by the fire was cleaned off, they were held by the handle with a cloth and ironed with them until they began to cool and then they were ironed. They then repeated the operation.

The other type of charcoal iron was like a small iron box, the burning coals were placed inside and thus the heat for ironing lasted longer.

And the other photo is of an object that I really didn't identify. And the same veterinarian, who was struck by the fact that I took the photographs, asked me if I knew what it was. I thought it was a carpentry tool, well no...that was used to make bullets manually!

I hope you like these photos taken with a Samsung J2 Prime cell phone in the city of Maracay, capital of the Aragua state, in Venezuela.

I would like to invite three dear friends of the platform to participate in this contest: @josevas217, @nahela and @flordi. I think they will be interested in participating.
