1966? Looks more like 1936. Did you notice the age of those men? There were some
amazing craftsmen back then, but I fear those skills will be lost in today's world.

Yea I Think most Mills were on their Last Legs in the 1920.s/30's
If I remember Right the Receipt books at my Grandmothers (3rd Husbands) Mill were Set to Expire in the 20's

The Dates were set up 192 so they either the Receipt printer Must have either Thought the Mills would End By then Or wanted a New Order of Books by the 30's from the mill
Yep , Somewheere in the 20's

I Wonder How Long the Mill stones Lifespan was:

AI Overview
The lifespan of a millstone can vary, but a well-maintained natural stone millstone can last for decades, potentially even 30-40 years with proper care and resharpening. Some manufacturers offer guarantees for up to 24 years.
