Cogs Inc.'s very own departmental SSIA team! Because if your staff routinely gets obliterated by toons you might need some doctors on hand! Who gave these fuckers a medical license? Who knows!

(Golden Hello is from @xxnu11-sku11xx )

Sometimes morale in the sellbot department can get pretty low. The stress of sales and potentially having toons smash your face in does not make a good work environment.That's where Golden Hello the therapist comes in! This mellow fellow is an easy cog to talk to and get along with! In fact, he's never met someone he doesn't fully get along with(save for one, but let's not talk about him). He's had a few questions about his last name, to which he always replies "I'm not here to talk about me or my life, I'm here to listen to yours. Is there anything about yours you'd like me to know about?"

Ms. Peri Low, also known as the Operator, has been there, seen that, and is all around a jaded sort. She seems... content with her current position but will begin bitching the second she gets a smoke break. At least she gets to work on trains as well as her coworkers, she fucking LOVES trains. She doesn't like working on cogs who've been hit by trains though, especially if its her boss.

Mr Parris Hale, or the Office Peacock, is equal parts show off and gentleman. They're the nicest of the doctors and pride themself on it. He makes sure all his patientsare comfortablein his presence while working on them, but his toon policy is confusing. While he will deal with any toon who enters his office, he'll also turn a blind eye and play along with their little game while they run errands for him for some reason.

Mx Hex Karousell, or the Manufactory, is the maddest of all the doctors there. They find sameness boring and want to spice things up a little! Why must a micromanager be so small, what if a big cheese was any other food, could a cog still function with removable skin? The CEO has them constantly busy with modification requests for underperforming employees, so there's never a dull moment for them!

Mr Sydney Low, known as the Administrator, is rather anxious for her position, and isn't even located at her department's HQ - she's got her office in the surveillance tower... at least on the surface. He's seems terrified of letting others see that special personal project he's working on at Boardbot HQ. Some believe it's more jacked up than Hex's experiments, others think it's a way to level the playing field between toon's invincibility and cog's easily destroyed nature. Given who Sydney is, it's probably both.

Belleek candelabrum, Stags Head   

A porcelain candelabrum made in the Belleek factory, Co. Fermanagh, Ireland. The piece consists of the head of a stag supported by three scrolled acanthus leaves. The antlers form three branches and these support three candle holders in the form of sea urchins. The piece rests on a three-cornered flat base. The mark on the base of the piece is a black second period (1891-1926) transfer-printed mark with the legend: Belleek, Co. Fermanagh, Ireland.

I was researching some stuff in old periodicals (this is The Century Magazine from October 1901) and totally lost track of what I was doing because I was having so much fun just reading the advertisements.

I love how there are ads for floor finish, radiator valves, opera glasses, foot power lathes, and "invalid rolling chairs" all on the same page. It's almost like an irresponsible editor was trying to advertise products that could be dangerous if purchased together.

Bottle Cooler (seau à demi-bouteille ou à liqueur)

1804–1805

Sèvres Manufactory (French, founded 1756)

In 1805 the Sèvres porcelain manufactory had a dessert service of 116 pieces delivered to Joséphine Bonaparte, first wife of Napoleon I. It was made specifically for the Empress and depicts plants from her gardens at the château de Malmaison near Paris. This is one of four small bottle coolers from the service showing dahlias. The artists at Sèvres copied the plants from engravings made after watercolors by the flower painter Pierre Joseph Redouté that were published in three botanical treatises beginning in 1799.
