Oh, that looks familiar! The state highways in Kansas have signs that look just like that--we'd call that road K-27. The yellow background is supposed to look like a sunflower.

Thank You Jayhawk:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

I was trying to find out where it came from, how it got to Canada I can only GUESS?:eusa_doh:



THE BIG WIND?

That's more than I'd pay for them! lol

Me too. You would have to pay me.

I found this parlor sized Regal guitar at Goodwill

Headstock:

Next to my dreadnought for size comparison

It appears to be a student model--each fret is numbered. The sound is good, but the action is very high. I am planning on replacing the nut, which is metal, and putting some new strings on, of course. Anybody an expert on aging this? The logo appears to be a little older, and there is no truss rod, if that helps.

From the looks of it I think it may be intended to play with a steel as a Hawaiian type guitar. The high metal nut is usually a tipoff.

If that's the case, I may settle with some new strings an learn a new technique!

I went to an antiques fair today & picked up a few goodies

 

[jamespowers]

Today was a decent haul. Stewart Warner 1947 radio---42.50, a waterfall armoire---37.50, 6 vintage ties--$3, free cosco stepstool, electric chainsaw and a rattan chair that I need to retie in areas.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

How's about some photos, at least of that radio!

On that note.

Picked these up today.

Not a bad little radio, doesn't work, but I'm fairly certain I'll get her up and going. Even worth 5 bucks as a clock only.

A bit new for my tastes, but I just couldn't let her sit on the Goodwill shelf.

I'll see what I can do tomorrow. Busy with keeping an eye out for racoons who tried to double team my dog earlier. Even at 16 years old she gave them a heck of a beating.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

You taught her well!

Anything in the yard is fair game for her. She is getting slow though it cut her leg. I put a band aide on it with some ointment. She'll be fine but she is getting too old to do that.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Yeah, gotta watch 'em at that age. When my dog started getting up in years, it was the same way. He couldn't do what he used to when he was in his prime, but you had to enforce the fact that he can't!

I picked this up at the 127 yard sale for $8. 50s maybe? 127 yard sale goes the entire length of HWY 127, 3 or 4 states long.

That looks cute. What's the size? It doesn't look very playable to me...

 

[Happy Jack]

Thanks for asking
