A recent find, a pair of Barrat shoe 'stretchers' c 1930's? in perfect working order, made of aluminium and nickel plated steel and adjustable between 7 1/2-9 UK
http://www.eitb.com/en/news/detail/828212/customer-grocery-store-finds-hand-grenade-hidden-potatoes/A customer of a local grocery store in the Spanish town of Chiclana de la Frontera, (Cadiz) in southern Spain found inside a bag of potatoes a hand grenade from the Second World War.
The potato that goes BOOM when you mash it.
When I saw this one it reminded me of Tom lol
Should have seen the one that really had me bummed out: a vintage, tin friction powered '61 Buick police car in mint condition and with original box -- $500! :eeek: :doh:
No matter how well prepared I am for these shows, there's always something I want that's beyond my budget!
Heck, that Classic Cord set me back $150! I'll have to post the pic later but I have a tin, battery operated Blink A Gear Robot in almost mint condition in the original box that's worth between $800-1,000. I've had it since I was a kid!
... Any chances of pics of the radio and turntable in it?
Well, yours is beautiful inside and out. I love that radio tuner! The supply and price is amazing in my parts. It seems I find them quite often. I own about 10-15 radio consoles from the 50's to the 70's and I seldom pay more than 20 bucks. I have many I only paid 5 bucks or less for, and have had many given to me because they 'look like something I'd like.'
They ARE something you like.
It's the same reason people give me console TV's. I had a friend over one day who's into hi-fi's (I gave him one) I took him into my storage room, which is about the size of a two car garage, and is full of hi-fi's and console televisions. He looks at me and says "you know, if you borrowed your dad's storefront, you could open a 1960's electronics store TONIGHT." lol
