Most everything and everyone has a story and/or history to tell. Sometimes the relics are separated from their story, facts get misinterpreted, people forget thus the stories or histories get forgotten, or they are lost. But, that's where we shine.
We love finding vintage relics especially those pertaining to baseball and football memorabilia, military relics (primarily WWII, Korea), and presidential items and researching out their interesting histories and intriguing stories. We also love coming across relics of celebrities or dignitaries to which we'll visit historical places or go to events and share with you those people, places and things.
History and Relics puts the histories and the stories back with the relics that made it all possible for us to remember and enjoy!
History and Relics generally publishes new content on Fridays every 7 to 14 days - depending on work schedules.

The '81 version is more contoured than the '79 and '80 model. The rosewood '81 model, with Seth Lover humbucker, features a walnut "skunk stripe" on its neck and a BWB pick guard (the '82 is WBW) it also has a 7.25" to 12" compound radius, so you can get insanely low "shredder action" without killing any bends. Mine has .60/.40 action, which feels heavenly on a chunky 7.25" "U" shaped neck profile. These were all made in the original Fullerton Fender factory and designed by master builders who founded Fender's Custom Shop, so it's a very special and historically relevant guitar. I think these guitars are a tribute to earlier Fender's with a hot rodded twist for the Van Halen's of the 80s. A kind of, Stratocaster/Telecaster hybrid with little nods to the 50s, 60s and 70s Fender's that came before it. For example, the headstock is reminiscent of a 50s Fender and it has the same tone woods, nut width and U neck profile as one. It also has the same small vintage frets too. But its F tuners are from 60s/70s models. As the ads for it stated, they were deliberately designed to weigh over 9 pounds and it really does give them a very special tone. But I think the heavier weight of these guitars is why they didn't really catch on at the time. They were only $100 less than a Strat when they were released, so they weren't cheap or budget guitars. My one still looks brand new and I think that's a testament to its high quality construction and hardware. They're exceptional and highly playable guitars with incredible tone. I'm glad they're finally getting the recognition they deserve
@@tfejulienewmar Thank you very much. I appreciate the feedback and details. They certainly are a classic with massive tone. I love mine! Thanks again and thanks for watching!
And now that he is gone the nogood stinking writers and hall of fame committee will put him in the hall, he will never get to see it... its a sad sad thing such a great player
@@kevinhewitt163 very true and you’re probably correct. He deserved the HOF long before now. He deserved to see it. He still belongs in the HOF rightfully so even if posthumously. If they still don’t, that’s an even greater tragedy for all of baseball and America.
@@richconant5391 actually, many refer to these as early steam locomotives that were used for an array of things from farming, to use in oil fields, to pulling early passenger type cars. Check out another of my videos for a fuller and broader look at some of these. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-By4ajvdsIuY.htmlsi=agiSptyygsD16Nm8 Thanks for tuning in and watching. This particular video was taken at the Age of Steam Roundhouse in Sugarcreek, OH. Best Regards.
@@richconant5391 you’re welcome. My Brother-in-law has an old hit and miss engine that he has restored. I’ve learned a lot myself about these and others as well but am nowhere near an authority on the subject but I certainly like the history and ingenuity that went into these machines. 🙏
Couldn’t disagree more. Why bury this in a museum forever in one location when it can travel under its own power and go to thousands of more people in many different communities? Plus, this is industrial art, performance art and aural art, all rolled into one. In a museum, it’s just industrial art. Two of the three things that make this special would be tragically lost. To conclude, taking this out of service would be a tragedy. Issue solved. Next issue.
Ford invited Anthoney Folker to dinner and his engineers went to his tri-motor hanger and bent coat hangers to steal the airfoil and design features of the Folker tri -motor
@@__-vb3ht that would be quite wonderful but I have no idea who could create the plane either out of steal or silver but that would bring it back even closer. Thank you so much for watching 🙏
17:54 that is fashioned after a Wedell Williams 44, rather than the Laird-Turner Meteor, which had a smooth cowling, daintier landing gear, tapered wings and a straight deck behind a closed cockpit. Turner did fly a WW44 before that, though
@@__-vb3ht yes I do realize that. I did use the term “ Style” and simply picked one over the other since they do closely resemble one another. I did make a comment/amendment in my description area at the bottom referencing this is more likely a Wedell Williams. Thank you
My parents Robert and Gayle Paridon were raised in Doylestown. My Grandfather and Grandmother had a dairy farm there Also my Great uncles Hubert and Charles owned the Paridon Hardware store years ago.Alot of great memories in Doylestown, Ohio. My Uncle Dave was the walking mailman in the 1970's.My ancestors came from Wernborn Germany. My Great grandparents settled in Rogues Hollow.I could go on and.
@@jasonadams8633 oh yes, I remember!! Thank you very much! I have been trying to get into contact with you but perhaps you’ve not seen my posts. Was still thinking of a collaboration. Would you be able to message me on Facebook or via my website? Take care and see you soon!
@@jasonadams8633 Jason, my number is 216-533-8825. Send me a text. I’ll send you some photos on things I thought we might be able to collaborate on. Thanks! Looking forward to it!!! Take care!
@@MrDodger3222 I was able to meet Cal Ripken, Reggie Jackson, and Ray Lewis. Would have loved to meet more but my budget didn’t allow it. Had a great time meeting the legends though!
@@DanetteScheel There were so many leagues during this era it’s really crazy especially trying to trace a players career over time. Thank you for watching! I’ve done a couple of videos in Steubenville! Talk about a city rich in history and stories! Steubenville has it! I was so impressed! Thanks again 🙏
My Dad was a teacher at Steubenville High School for 34 years. Naples is about a block down the street. He ate lunch there just about every day. He was good friends with the owner, Joe Delatore. Personally, my favorite is their meatball heel. I've also heard that Dean liked the meatballs at the Federal Terrace, an old restaurant that used to be downtown.
@@MrDodger3222 well, yes and no. I did see him allowing sneaked selfies in but primarily the TriStar promoters were keeping a close eye on that with all signers and primarily not allowing it because they want you to buy a $100-200 ticket for a photo op. I think that is sad but fortunately I have my meeting on video which is okay by me.
@@historyandrelicsI think they should allow selfies with the players when they are charging crazy amounts of money for the players autographs and for admission to the show.
@@MrDodger3222 totally agree 👍 I know many of the players don’t mind and actually enjoy it but then you have sponsor/promoter greed over ruling it seeking more money. I would have loved to meet more at the show but simply couldn’t afford it. Thankful for the 3 I did though and it was fun.
Another great episode John and Dana! One of my favorite TV facts; the original Edith and Archie chairs were acquired by the production from a Southern California secondhand furniture store for reportedly less than $20 for use in the show's pilot episode. They went on to star in eight seasons, and after the final episode of Season 8, believing it to be the show's last, they were donated to The Smithsonian Institution on September 18, 1978. However, in the weeks that followed, the network would order another season of the show, but the original chairs could not be reclaimed from the national collection, so a second set were specially designed and fabricated for the final season. A mill was found in England that produced custom textiles and fabrics were handmade to match the chairs' original fabric, then laboriously distressed with a wire brush and other tools to simulate the original aged chairs. The cost of producing the second set of chairs exceeded $15,000 in 1978.
@@geigerflee Wow! How interesting is that. I didn’t know the history behind them- how cool. Talk about inflation! LOL. Thank you for sharing this great intel.
This is so cool. I am so grateful to the Ripkens (Cal, Bill and all their crews) for what they do for youth baseball. One day, I'll get in their autograph line to tell them that myself.
@@deborahkeith1733 OMG Hello Ms. Keith!! I remember coming across your name when researching out their story. I tried to find contact information for you but was unsuccessful. I’m so happy you found this and reached out. I sincerely hope you liked my presentation here. Their story is incredible. I would like to connect with you on Facebook too if you like? I have both a personal page and one for History and Relics. Would love to stay in touch. My Wife and I were just in DC in March on a mini vaca. Looking forward to chatting more. Thank you for reaching out!
Ernie Lombardi is one of the most fascinating players in Major League history. His strengths and weaknesses were so obvious. It's sad and unfair he wasn't inducted into the Hall of Fame while he was still alive.
@@afterglowkennelsllc8512 Thank you so very much! Each exhibit holds something different. It’s amazing. In understanding there is another going on right now in Pittsburgh. Stay tuned, I have been working on a new story surrounding an aviation air race relic for the past several months… coming out next month. Amazing docu-video!
@@musiclover3205 Thank you very much for the kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I invite you to subscribe if you like as I have several other similar videos on an array of interests from sports, aviation, and travel. Best regards.
Thank you so much and thank you for watching. I invite you to subscribe if you like. We cover an array of topics and we feature many relics taken from our own collection to introduce thier stories. Best regards!
During my return to A&M (75-76) for my MBA, the Budweiser Clydesdales came to the area. I never saw the trucks as they had unloaded and the horses were bedded down for the night on campus since it is a historical Agriculture and Engineering School (in the old horse barn which has been replaced by a new one on the west side of the tracks). The next morning, the horses were geared up and hitched to the wagon on on of the streets and then went to a shopping center in Bryan (about 5 miles away). Of course on the trip there they had a long line of cars following and not passing. I thing the color of the horses with the white feathers on the feet really sets them off. I have seen videos of other Clydesdales and notice they all seem to have the high stepping style the Budweiser team has. It really sets them off.
Thank you sharing and watching my video. Glad it brought back good memories! The Clydesdales are truly something to see any time you have the opportunity. Best regards.
