$500 bill in 1936!? That would be like carrying around a $9,000 bill today. Crazy.
All the $10,000 bills are OLD !!!!! Yes, in the old days, you could carry around a $10,000 bill.

As of January 14, 2020, only 336 $10,000 bills were known to [still] exist.

Guess, that makes sense... never really thought about it. Interesting!

GOD OF LIGHT STONE FROME CAST ORIGINAL FOR PETER_74:
I have two of those castings and they are great! One just fell off a seven foot high shelf during a recent earthquake and didn't get a scratch!
Peter's work is top notch. I have his grail tablet and it's one of my favorite pieces. I didn't realize the God of Light panel was so big. I definitely want one, but I'll need more space first, haha.
Although never seen onscreen, perhaps this could be a contender for Indy’s water bottle during one of his adventures then of course lost, discarded, burnt up or simply left at the dig site in the desert.
This is a bottle, water, aluminium, I.P. [India Pattern] as described within the British officer's Dress Regulations 1900 and used during the second Boer War up until WWII. It was kidney-shaped with an aluminium and cork stopper attached to the spout and covered in drab cloth. A good reference site is Karkee Web
British officers were required to purchase their own kit built to the approved pattern. Bottles were available from a variety of outfitters like Mills or Dunhills.
This water bottle was in excellent shape but missing its covering and carrier. These were reproduced using the excellent bridle strapping available from David of MakeItJones and c1930s British battle dress wool. The tag is a reproduction based on a 1927 example. Following a number of bleach, ball bearing and boiled water treatments, it can again be used.
The addition of a 1930s whisky flask with velvet lined case is for water purification and therefore purely medicinal.

Great idea! When my wife and I move, I plan on theming my home office into kind of a mix of an adventure outpost/Indiana Jones's office so things like this to fill out that universe are awesome to see.
I’m not a huge Indy collector but I’ve enjoyed watching this thread. Here’s my small corner.
Shoutout to Restaurajones for his Sankara stones still going strong after all these years.

Yeah, those stones were a work of art. I wish I had space for them.
Now included in the collection...

Thanks - means a lot coming from you sir. The bottle was naked aluminium with chain and stopper found on the bay after a long search. It's the 1900 British India officer's pattern (1900-1945). After bleach, ball bearing and boiled water treatments, it can again hold potable water. There are no more original carriers or wool covers (those you see in good shape are rare, expensive and belong in museums).
Used bridle strapping available from David of MakeItJones and c1930s British battle dress wool (from the bay for £8) to replicate the original cover and carrier. The 1930s silver whisky flask is also a patient find from the bay. Its case was sewn from the same 1930s wool with an Edwardian style velvet lining. The tag is an aged reproduction based on a 1927 example.

I love seeing posts where Indiana Jones is taken outside of the movie universe!
This is stunning work. Congratulations and my sincerest thanks for your post and for your reply.
High regards,

Throughout the golden age of exploration and adventure during the 19th and 20th centuries, compasses were an essential part of the expedition. Whether crossing the sands of the Empty Quarter or finding the legendary city of Tanis, without a compass you were lost and often simply never returned.
Here is an unrestored original British Verner's pattern prismatic compass dated 1918 as used in YIJ and filmed but edited out of Raiders.
