I wonder if someone remembers this. The carved mantlepiece in the house on Eighteenth Ave in Vancouver. I had always thougt the pic on the mantle on the right was Grandpa and on the left, my Dad. However looking closely now with a magnifier, I don't think they are Dad and Grandpa. This mantle was carved by Peter Mallaby, our Great Grandfather and won a commemorative medal in the Colonial and Indian Exhibition of 1880 or 1886, it's hard to read. The mantle went with us when we moved to Burnaby. I remember it being in the garage and it suffered much damaged and finally it was so bowed my Dad couldn't straighten it out. I think it got thrown away, which is an awful shame, I imagine the certificate in the frame below was tossed out too, but I was too small to realize what I should have been saving.
