September 9, 20188 yr Popular Post comment_159333 My daughter Mary made me a dust pan in the 7th grade in 1987 in metal working shop. It is blue colored so I won't lose it. She gave it to me that Christmas and I have used it ever since. It stands about 18 " off the floor. It is very handy and means a lot to me. Preston Report
