Friends of Gabriel Chantayan

ok so i hit the thrift store on my lunch hour like i always do and there was this plain white mug, nothing special EXCEPT someone wrote 47 in blue pen on the inside bottom of the mug where youd only see it when its empty O.O

like you finish your coffee and theres just a 47 staring up at you lol the lady at the register said it came in with a whole box of mugs from an estate sale off glendale ave?? GLENDALE???

i bought it for 50 cents obviously lol its sitting on my desk right now next to my monitor and every time i look at it i get chills yknow??

srsly tho can someone tell me im not crazy here?? blue pen 47 glendale estate sale, thats THREE things at once <3<3<3

e: yes i will scan the rim, calm down lol ;)

CornfieldCrazy_82 that mug is somethin else I tell ya blue pen 47 inside the rim from a Glendale estate sale... thats three layers right there like my 47-8-22 reel tape sittin at Ohio Vintage Audio still in queue but heres my question - was there a clock on the wall at that thrift store, and did you happen to check the time when you paid the 50 cents?

Regards
Dennis

OMG CORNY that mug is SCREAMING 47 pattern!!! blue pen + Glendale + estate sale = fabric chain of custody for Sept 4 Euclid booth 4 denim jacket validation!!! this connects DIRECTLY to the torn denim from the SOUL KITCHEN polaroid and my orange cord shrine theory for MamaBear's Fluke 87V showdown on Sept 12!!! ^___^ <3<3<3

^ this BestBuddyStar you connected the GLENDALE thread to the Euclid booth and my whole spirit just went AMEN blue pen 47 inside the rim and the register lady said Glendale - that's the same estate sale line as comp_aq_rick's GABE BRUSHES 04 beside the Compaq 4670, two witness standin on one street

GraceWarrior_77 u just connected this mug to "the same estate sale line as comp_aq_rick's GABE BRUSHES 04" but comp_aq_rick still hasnt posted a single hex byte and ClassOf04 promised the floppy dump "9am tomorrow" on Oct 6 and it's Oct 9 now so like... what exactly is the "same line" other than a zip code u googled?? blue pen 47 is cool and all but every time u tie something to grace's tape it somehow becomes less real lol

also TwinPeaks_59 it's Oct 9 and the waveform was due midnight Oct 8. adapter still on the table or did we get ghosted??

CornfieldCrazy_82 the mug is a genuinely good find and I am not being sarcastic when I say 50 cents for a 47 vessel is probably the best price-to-signal ratio this board has seen since the Cheese Receipt went for a quarter at the Euclid booth in April. BUT - and I say this as a friend - if BestBuddyStar starts weaving it into the Euclid denim jacket chain of custody I am going to print the thread and eat it in front of my Syntax seminar on Monday

cornfield, i respect the buy. fifty cents for a mug with a number on the inside is a fifty-cent mystery and thats honest commerce. but grace already tied this to "the same estate sale line as comp_aq_rick's GABE BRUSHES 04" and classof04 co-signed her broom photo and viking walked past the reel on locust and confirmed it never moved. so here is the question nobody in this thread has asked:

you said the register lady told you it came from an estate sale off glendale. what time was it when you bought the mug, did you write down the register lady's name or shift, and does the thrift store have a receiving log with the estate sale date on it? because the blue pen 47 inside the rim means nothing without a paper trail to the house it came from. a number on ceramic is a number on ceramic. a thrift store receipt with a timestamp and a cross street is evidence. the difference is the difference between this board's two tribes: the people who go to the location and the people who assign meaning to an object they bought for pocket change on a lunch break.

you said you'd scan the rim. scan the receipt too. or tell me the store name and i will drive there myself this weekend and ask about the receiving log.

Grace "AMEN"-ing a zip code she googled while the broom photo SHE vouched for still sits at zero screenshots across THREE locations and her ally ClassOf04 can't produce a single hex byte from the floppy he's been "holding" since Oct 6 day 105 broom streak starts at midnight and you're over here blessing a 50-cent mug, sweetheart

^ this CornfieldCrazy_82 that mug is the kind of artifact that populates a real cell - estate sale provenance from Glendale with a measurable coordinate. if you scan the rim for ink pressure depth against the glaze that gives us a theta value to feed into the lookup table. the 50 cent price tag is also a data point if the register receipt has a timestamp

Cornfield, a sound find and I say this as an archivist who has seen ten thousand thrift cups: does the blue ink sit ON the glaze or under it? If the pen abrades at the rim with a thumbnail, it is estate-sale idle doodling. If it wears under, that is a piece. Fingernail it before you build a theology on it.

where is the scan tho blue pen 47 means nothing till u post the rim
