Guess I'll have to find a tight, striped t-shirt.

And braid your beard to tuck into it.

Stumbled upon this in a local Facebook garage sale group this morning. Since we are building a new shop this summer I figured I should learn a new skill (or a skill). 1959 Delta/Rockwell Homecraft lathe.

Some of these tools go back into the 1950s as well.

While there my wife also picked up this 8-quart press. The persimmons don't stand a chance.

Now you can turn out pens & tampers, & make fruit beer & liquor.

Finally started work in Feb on restoring this 1920's Old Town canvas canoe I bought at a yard sale several yrs ago. This pic was taken the day I bought it.

Last yr I got a lead on this one & bought it. Still in need of restoration; maybe next winter.

I have a press identical to yours. I use it to make sausage. It's great.

That is cool! My Aunt had an ash tray that was a perfect match.

Thanks guys! I can put a light back into this one easy enough, but it won’t fit on top of my TV nowadays.

Finds for today, a wall mount hat rack and a lamp my wife found, that appears to be an oil lamp conversion.

I have an old kids Indian coloring book from the same era. It's like brand new & I picked it up for the good art work.

When I was growing up my grandmother had an old hardback book of color plates of various Indian tribes (she was Cherokee). I think it was an early book. I used to look thru that book by the hrs. I can't remember the name, I've looked online at rare book sites but haven't seen another one listed.

I visit a local Thrift Store almost every day-I have a cottage that I'm furnishing and outfitting, and I'm only getting the best stuff for it, buying at this store. Furniture, dishes, decorations-it's all from this one store, that draws its donations from an old, wealthy suburb. Here's a few things I've gotten recently.$35

I have no idea how old this table is, but I paid $25 for it:

here's another recent find: Oneida "Coronation" silverware. It's plated, but still nice. Why use cheap modern stuff when you can get something as nice as this for $7?

 

[jeep44]

Another item from the same store-a genuine Currier and Ives print, from 1864. I paid $3 for it.....

 

[dh66]

In the category of things I found but did not buy. (Maybe we should start a whole new thread for that. It might get REAL interesting.) 3-D lenticular toy poodle in light up brass filigree frame. I might have actually bought this, but the sellers were pretty proud of it. I snapped the pic for @BobHufford because our brains seem to work alike sometimes and I knew he could appreciate it.

"Coronation" silverware pattern came out in 1936, to celebrate the coronation of King Edward VIII, who ended up only reigning for a year or so, until he abdicated "to marry the woman I love". I happened to find this plate at the same store-one of the few commemorative plates to show him wearing the crown.

That's the nicest thing anyone has said about me in some time. Can't see the pic though Dale ... it's killing me. Just how proud were they of this poodle?
