    One of the cool features of the register was the marble shelf above the cash drawer. The cashier could bounce silver coins of the marble to check to see if the coins were silver or slug.

      I have read that one of the reason for so many prices ending in .99 was to force the cashier to have to make change and open the cash register.

    Another note about cash registers. The practice of setting prices ending in .99 or .98 cents was started to prevent stealing. By setting the price this way, they forced the cashier to open the cash register to give change, thus setting off the bell you mentioned.

      Interesting, but isn't it also to fool dumb customers into thinking they were paying less? $3.99 will be read, by some people, as three dollars.
      The same concept applies to why gasoline is priced down to 9/10 of a penny. I can remember when gas was maybe 22 cents a gallon. A tenth of a cent meant a but more back then than it does today!

    I thought the T Rex was going to be one of the surprises as well. Literally discovered in the Old West, along with a lot of the other well known dinosaurs like Diplodocus, Stegosaurus and Triceratops. Many were discovered as part of the 1870's/80's Colorado and Wyoming 'Bone Wars' between rival paleontologists Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh. Their men went out on expeditions heavily armed and sometimes ended up in fights with eachother. The photos of them could be photos of cowboys or outlaws

      I was surprised at ice skates being around back then. Finding out that plywood was also available is great news.
      I knew about screens and glass. In New England a lot of the old glass was bulls eye glass or had bubbles in the panes and was thicker than modern glass panes. Over time the glass did distort to appear streaky. I remember seeing etched screens with some rather intricate pictures on them or lacey designs on a lot of the old historical houses.

    The subject of window panes is an interesting one (or maybe only to geeks like me) Until sometime in the early 20th century they were usually small and it took a lot of them to make up a single window in the traditional style of several rows of panes. Apparently the technology at the time made larger panes expensive to make and to transport without breaking while the skilled carpentry and glazier skills to set the many smaller ones was cheap. A big, undivided pane was a sign of wealth or grandeur while the smaller panes with all their intricate handwork were for everyday people. Amazing how that’s reversed today.

    I always find it fascinating just how old some inventions are. The first steamboat was sailing on a channel in Scotland before the famous Battle of Trafalgar. In fact there was a plan to use steamboats to tow fireships and use the to attack the Franco-Spanish fleet while it was still in port. The reason why it was not tried was that the steamboats lacked the power.

    I definitely want to know, Santee! The zipper (or zip as we call it in the UK) was premiered at the Chicago World's fair of 1893 and so kind of made it into the period. Here in the UK Winston Churchill disliked the paperclip (it could let items come loose or inadvertantly allow irrelevant items to be grouped together), instead preferring something called the 'treasury tag'. I think they might be called T tags in the US, are basically named for their use by the UK treasury, and are, of course, the last word in British ingenuity. They are two small metal tubes joined by a piece of string and fit through a hole punched in the top left hand corner of documents! He apparently also disliked the stapler (US invention 1879) because of the noise! Fortunately, the treasury tag can be used instead of the staple as well.

    My very first job was at W.T. Grant's, basically still called a five and dime store back then. The store had cash registers just like the ones featured here. They were very ornate and yes, that bell did ring on every transaction.
    There was a long narrow glass window at the top of the register that the item cost would appear in each time you pressed the number levers down including the decimal point.
    Since W T Grant's opened in 1906 and closed in 1976. I'm thinking they were from the early days of the store' s opening.
    My hourly pay was $1.75 and I was 16 yrs old. A nice step up from babysitting for 50 cents per hour. :)
    Also you had to be able to count the customer's change back to them properly. No calculators, the register just gave you the total sale amount only. There were three registers on the main store level and two in the basement level.

    Thanks again Santee & Co. You are a great historian . One of the oldest concrete structures in America is Fort Dorchester in South Carolina . It was built in South Carolina colony in the 17th century to protect the town called Charles Towne . It was made of a type of concrete called Tabby consisting of sand , seashells , and lime . Old Fort Dorchester and Charles Town were abandoned for a place on the north side of the Ashley River and south of the Cooper River . It took on the new name Charleston . Old Fort Dorchester still stands but is slowly crumbling . It's now a protected a historical site by Dorchester County.

      During the War of Independence some forts on the coast of South Carolina were constructed of palmetto tree logs and baech sand . Palmetto logs proved to be tough and resistant to cannonballs fired from British warships . The state flag of South Carolina is a blue banner featuring a Palmetto tree and a crescent moon . I reckon in the desert of Arizona similar forts could be made of cottonwood trees and desert sand . There's Adobe structures to consider in the South West .

    Another fine video. To quote the late, great Johnny Carson--I did not know that. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. I learned something today. And closing with the Colonel Bogie March? What could be better? Thanks.

      @ArizonaGhostriders 👍That's great. Brits make good soldiers. I had the privilege of working with the Royal Marines, 45 Commando when I was a member of the 2nd Recon Bn., 2nd Marine Division back in the 1970s. They were top notch.

    Something that happened during the 1880s that is hardly ever mentioned is the refining of steel production. Someone invented a much cheaper way to make large quantities of steel, bringing the cost of using steel affordable.
    Iron clad ships went to steel steamers.
    Steel supports made taller buildings possible.
    The list goes on.

    funny, i just looked up when the use of concrete happened and it’s right in line with when cities and town started to grow after devastated them. plus it’s cheaper and easier to ship cement needed for it than bricks!
    and I feel your pain, Rex: I got banned from touching the tree for 10 years because i accidentally broke the tree stand requiring the purchase of a real tree. at least the crew did a wonderful job decorating it so you can admire the great colors 😎

    I did have one question about the time. Where there many hot houses? I was thinking with the hot growing seasons in some areas and the short in others, that it might be worth it to increase your growing time. Not to be ugly but the dirt east of the MS river is a lot more suitable for growing than say AZ, NM for example. I see westerns about homesteaders and have often wondered about this.

    The Nabataeans, who lived in modern-day Syria and Jordan, built concrete floors, housing, and underground cisterns. They discovered hydraulic lime, a type of concrete that hardens underwater this was in 6500 BCE.... Concrete has been around AWHILE ! Lol
