There were hundreds of explainations as to where it came from, all ending in "we really don't know."<br /><br />So, I chose the one that I liked the best:<br /><i>"The origin has been taken back so far that it is beginning to look as though another often-told story might be the right one. It is said that whole ball of wax is a humorous modification of whole bailiwick, perhaps because of a mental association between bail and ball, and between wick and candle wax."</i>Ernie Branscombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391160783604462511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-14586723022586613342009-09-29T11:14:09.440-07:002009-09-29T11:14:09.440-07:00Did the term "the whole ball of wax" ori...Did the term "the whole ball of wax" originate from this wreck's detritus?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-38609237512253396892009-09-29T00:42:55.884-07:002009-09-29T00:42:55.884-07:00all this talk about spanish flat. so what do you ...all this talk about spanish flat. so what do you know. i found simmerly flat east of round valley turn right on e street and go north where it dead ends and wind your way back towards the river. higher up on 162 you will find the old sherburn place where indian dick road crosses 162 right by the river. found out that james duncan married lottie simmerly and i found a connection to the haydons we are related to as well. so i've been finding lots of buried treasure on simmerly flat.spyrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685726716755909658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-76471009851679320552009-09-28T11:34:04.408-07:002009-09-28T11:34:04.408-07:00Now I'm curious about the wreck at Spanish Fla...Now I'm curious about the wreck at Spanish Flat.
