Security envelope polygons 2

Unlike the polygon security envelope pattern previously posted here,

 

Blue polygons

 

this polygon pattern does not seem to want to be mirrored and matched to create a bigger pattern.  Despite that hinderance, it is an interesting pattern.  

 

N.B. this pattern came from an envelope used by the same business that used the previously posted polygon pattern.

 

Addendum:  by doing a V flip and an overlay, it is possible to extend the pattern slightly in the vertical; nothing seems to inspire a further extension in the horizontal or vertical.

 

 

Just a flip and overlay

 

Maybe one of the readers can provide a way to extend this pattern?

Somebody else's sunset

 

Golden glow in the west

 

Somebody else's photo, of some place else's sunset, is their idea of a sunset.  It seems to be, but need not be, a vision from the past.

 

 

Molly Stark bed

The legendary Molly Stark was married to a Revolutionary War general whose truncated quote gave rise to a  state motto.

Her furniture inspired a whole collection; this tag for the inspired No. 2050D bed tells more.

The H.T. Cushman Manufacturing Company started in 1886 on Prospect Street in Bennington, Vermont.  They relocated to Water Street in 1892.  In 1933, they introduced the Cushman Colonial Creations line of furniture.  

From the tag, we read:

----------

"No. 2050D  -  Molly Stark Bed  -  The basic motif for the entire group is the decorative block front design on the drawer fronts.  The historical background for this design centers around several old pieces of furniture once said to be owned by the attractive wife of General John Stark of Revolutionary fame."

----------

The Cushman family sold the business to General Interiors Corporation in 1964.  In 1971, the  plant was sold to Green Mountain Furniture Company, who ceased operation in 1980.  General Interiors - who remained owner of the Cushman name - was sold to General Mills, Inc. and later to Maytag.

Security envelope blue diamonds

This envelope security pattern features diamonds on blue paper.

Those are tilted squares

The registration markers can be seen in the upper corners of the wings.

Security envelope stars

It was a pleasant surprise to find this envelope security pattern of four-pointed diamond-shaped polygons.   

 

Are 4 points a star?

 

The repeating pattern itself is very small; repeated it grows massively.

 

Security envelope patterns come in different patterns that .  Usually, they are small and tightly packed, covering the whole interior of the envelope to obfuscate the contents.   

 

 

 

Diamionds and squares

 

Cracked but in use

This cracked manhole cover is seen in the street beneath our feet.  The cover features a 47 x 47 pointy diamonds pattern.  It is surrounded by a 3 x 142 squares encirclement which itself is encircled by 28 bricks.  An altogether lovely layout.

 

 

Mirror mirror on the floor

 

<--  those are student names

 

The dance studio closed.  Left behind was an empty room with five mirrors on a wall.  Now four; the middle mirror has detached itself from the plum painted wall and crashed to the wooden floor, leaving a shattered view of its former self.
