My
friend Marty Belcher from Indianapolis, Indiana sent me this old water meter
that was made for a building in Mississippi. It is from the 1930s or 1940s. It
was all rusted and he sand blasted it and painted it. Marty knows the Ford
family in Wabash, Indiana who still owns the factory that makes these water
meter covers. However, I wondered: Why is the Mississippi State Bulldog on it
and not Colonel Rebel? As an Ole Miss grad, I was surprised to see the Bulldog!
I know all the Mississippi State fans will love this. Thanks, Marty, for this unique part of
history! I already have a lot of Bulldog
fans asking me to leave to them in my will.
