ploughshare

Photographed in a back lane at Potamos1983. How was it used was the question I asked myself at the time? Now I know as J.M. Koksma's black and white picture of "Ploughing, Kythera 1962" submitted 15-02-2014, shows clearly how these cleverly constructed ploughshares were employed.

USS Kithira ship's patch

This object is a woven cloth patch, about 4 inches across. It purports to be a "ship's patch" belonging to the US Navy ship Kithira, and was presumably sewn onto the sleeve of a seaman's fatigues. The motto, "Wasted Days & Wasted Nights", is, to say the least, strange for a fighting (?) ship. The whole thing may be a spoof, but I doubt anyone would go to such lengths for no very good reason. I came across it on eBay, where it was being offered as part of a larger collection of "Squadron Patches".
