I spoke with him briefly -- he was running out to a meeting.  He congratulated me, and said that he now has to go to the bank to figure out which jewel is mine.  I haven't heard from him since, and it's been a couple of days.

Do you get to keep the key?

I just got back from a business trip...if I can be of assistance, please let me know. I live in Castro Valley, work in Oakland, and can show up in San Francisco on a moment's notice...

[catherwood]

i believe i have located the clock in this picture. it might be the middle one of the three chronographs / clocks on board the "Eureka" which is a museum ship in San Francisco. i have found pictures of that clock by googling, but sadly all are small or fuzzy so i didnt save the link.

Was this the image you were comparing?

I don't see it as a great match.  But the Hyde Street Pier (where that ship is docked) has lamp posts which have a curve which might match the spiral of the flower stem in image 1. (I've misplaced the url to a picture of those.)

There is an upside-down 87 in her hair, the opposite side from the 38 and lower.
Also, could the curved rose stem be a musical notation?  Is it called a clef note or something like that?  The music readers can clarify this.

Rather, I was thinking about a hedgehog in sneakers.

For those of you reading this thread and not knowing where the "38" latitude is coming from, as Fox points out in another thread, it's the number of boxes on her sleeve.

That's a stretch, considering how many other numbers -- Roman and otherwise -- are in this picture.  However, those suspicious hair curls on the right look like a tilted "38", so I'm cool.

Well, I have felt the boxes meant something specific, since there are two rows of 9 on one sleeve and two rows of 10 on the other...the discrepancy, I figured, was intentional.

[maltedfalcon]

Well on Saturday I went to SF and checked out my ideas,
but no luck, So as promised I will know let you all know about what I've found.

Firstly take the rectangular panel with the dragon all the way up to the neckline then reverse it. (mirror the image)

If you can dig up a map of golden Gate Park in San Francisco
you can overlay the rectangle on the map and it fits exactly.
even some of the loops of the dragon match features in the park but the clincher is - the now forward G and H at the top of the image matches up with the street at that end of the park which is called the Great Highway.

[maltedfalcon]

next to the lady on the left facing upward is a silouette of Abraham Lincoln.
If you mirrored the picture that lincoln is on the same side of golden gate park as Lincoln heights.

[maltedfalcon]

the little lake shaped object next to the lady on the left,
sort of matches a lake in Golden Gate park

Now the question is which verse goes with this picture
.....
and the answer is ....
(or at least Im pretty sure)

one that nobody has suggested for san Francisco

Verse   7
go to that section and I will explain my thoughts

[neVar]

Some kind of GATE thing ?



Weird shape on left hand side - middle:



A Backward "G" and "H" - and symbols (map symbols?):



A "Yin / Yang" symbol under crossed hands (right hand side):



A "38" on the right hand side of her hair:

[fox]

nice finds Mr. Falcon.  They seem very solid to me.  With the asian theme and the small yin-yang symbol, maybe we should be checking around the tea garden.

My question, since you had all of these solid confirmers but not sure on the V, why oh why did you not invite others to help?  The only answer I can come up with I hope is not correct.

Looks like another P to focus on gang!

[maltedfalcon]

clarify your question for me.
I am absolutely sure on the verse
Ive known it for a while
its verse 7


I said a few weeks ago I would post my ideas after I went and checked them out myself.

what answer do you suspect?

[fox]

Take it easy Mr. Falcon.  Ok, you want the answer?  GREED.  Why not invite others so close by to share in the adventure.  Maybe if they had been there, you GUYS could be sharing your discovery with the rest of us right now.

Enough said.  Let's ALL get back to finding another casque, shall we?
