You are correct, 1930s proved to be years where Grandma's china cabinet she hauled back from Poland on large ship was burned for heat. I remember Grandfather telling me all the bs of her getting that cabinet from horse and buggy in Poland to ship and staying in lowest deck to New York Ellis Island and long trip from there to Chicago, he said he cursed whole trip like it was 1912, LOL then few years later he joined Army to fight in mother of all wars in Europe, trenches for miles, poison gases, hand to hand combat, I learned great deal from my Grandfather as he lived in history that otherwise could only read about, he was born in 1889 and always ate greasy foods, smoked cigars and drank a shot of whiskey each night before bed, died in 1985, very hard working brick mason till he was 80 years old. Always told me you will always hurt somewhere in your body and God's way of telling you, you are living right, it going to hurt regardless, might as well make some money. I miss playing violin with him, and many other conversations.
Live in Central America where they don't have much or any Crude Oil or energy, no diamond mines or gold, plenty of those darn monkeys, first couple hours they are cute, then they are become like royal pain in arse.
I believe like Germany after World War one was using their currency for toilet paper as they had so much inflation, take a wheel barrow full of their money for loaf of bread.
