Objects for Object Analysis Paper

You may use any of these objects for your object analysis paper, or you may propose an alternate object to the instructor.

Objects #1-17 come from the collections of the Idaho Historical Museum, and photos of the objects are used with permission of the museum. Object #18 comes from an advertisement.  Objects #19-21 were found on Flickr, and are used under a Creative Commons license; clicking on objects 19, 20, or 21 will take you to the original photo page on Flickr.  See the note on Object #22 for more information on its provenance.

Objects #1-17 are also available in a photo set on Flickr.

(This final image shows Object #22 after it was damaged in recent years.  Compare it carefully with the similar image above to see if you can tell a story about the object and its importance.)

Object #22 has a plaque connected with it, and I have blurred out much of the plaque because it gives away too much information.  I’ll give the source of the images once you’ve turned in your papers.
