Porch Spindle Showing Lead-Based Paint

Mixing in a little history with this newish technology with this video. This spindle came from the porch of my great-great-grandparents, Robert and Martha Ann Blocker, located in Brandon, Texas. They moved there in the early-1900s from Carthage, Mississippi. My dad, Harry Keith Wilson, visited Brandon and located the ruins of the house. He asked the owner if he could have a souvenir and came home with a post and a spindle.

A photo of the spindle and a picture of the house is included below and you can see that the spindle looks as if it has more paint than the video shows. I’m guessing that the last coat wasn’t lead-based… Manon #UArkMICRO #UARK
