Props(final)

The first prop is the shovel. It is purposely short(though too short in this picture), as when doing my research, I found that many coal shovels were shorter, and not as long as a standard gardening shovel, or snow shovel. This would be the shovel in immaculate form, though I do want there to be a variation in condition of the shovels.
The second prop is the parasol. I'm not a wonder artist, but the parasol is suppose to be made of lace, with red detailing, to match the red in Mildred's dress. I would the handle on the parasol to be short as well(another detail from my research), with three red balls on the end of the handle. There is another sketch of the parasol on Mildred's costume sketch.
The third prop is a bottle of Jack Daniels. It would have an old time label, one from the twenties. All bottles in the bowels of the ship(on pictured here) would have a bit of wear and tatter on the label, while the one that would be in the I.W.W office would be pristine. The bottle would be corked, rather then a screw top.
The final prop is the binoculars that I would like Mildred's Aunt to have. They would be made of ivory, mother of pearl and gold. They would have the handle on them so she would be able to use them as a physical prop as well, waving them about and such poking at Mildred, etc.
