Found this at a yard sale but I have no idea what it is. Thoughts?

Many of us only studied history in school, and it’s likely that we forgot more of what we learned than we did recall. Even while it might not be everyone’s favorite topic, there are some fascinating lessons to be learnt from it.

That encompasses the elements in this captivating image. It is an artifact from the past that millions of people have used, albeit it may not be widely known now. We’d even hazard to guess that the majority of people wouldn’t be aware of its existence.

It has to do with laundry, in case you haven’t guessed it by now. Laundry is a practice that dates back thousands of years, yet the ways in which it is carried out have evolved throughout the passing of time.

A long time ago, folks used to go down to the river and beat their soiled garments against a rock. These days, you can put them in a machine and have finished products in an hour.

Laundry has become easier for folks because to the unique little equipment we have in these photographs. It was quite the process, taking into account all of the various processes that are required throughout, such as lugging the water, boiling it, washing, rinsing, wringing the clothing out, and drying.

If you see a purple fence post, you need to know what it means

As the weather warms and you start to venture outside, be careful where you walk.

If you come across a purple fence post, it’s best to stay away.

A purple fence post is meant to send a message to anyone who comes across it, and that message is: No trespassing!

While property owners have the option of hanging a sign to indicate private property,

signs can deteriorate over time while paint will last a lot longer and still convey the same message.

In 1987 Arkansas became the first state to implement a purple paint law. Currently,

22 states have laws allowing landowners to mark the perimeter of their property with purple paint.

However, while some states use different color paint – Idaho and Montana use orange paint – the idea is the same.

At first many governments required landowners use purple paint and signs, but overtime signage was no longer required.

However, if you live in one of the 28 states that does not have a purple paint law, you may be unfamiliar with its meaning.

A painted post or tree means no trespassing.

In order to comply with the law, the purple stripe must be 3′ to 5′ off the ground and at least 8″ long and 1″ wide.

The markings must not be more than 100′ apart.
