my mom is SLOWLY going through my grandma's room. well, she finally found something other than newspapes. ooh, 40's/50's girlie cards STILL in the wrapper.wonder if she was hiding them from granpa.have yet to ebay them, BUT she also found a similar era glass ashtray? with schuster's milwaukee printed in the bottom.
i got a bid the 1st day. OK, i started at $1, BUT 3 people are watching the listing. HUH??? and i thought my collecting stuff was weird. and one bidder is from alabama and contacted me saying if she does GET IT, she may be puterless for a while due to Ivan the terrible.
alabama?
well, gotta wonder if i should see old schuster boxes.
of course the estate sale today was an OK sale. a little for ebay.old cards seem to sell. so i looked for the best old ones in the box at the sale. ANOTHER wooden spigot, but i promise to put it on ebaycause it has a label. and another meat tenderizer/cleaver. very 1800's looking and dear lord, what in the hell is still clinging? but then there is the one purchase for me. an old graf's soda crate. needed a little cleaning. but it is nice and dandy. and the price was even better. crate for $3 on the 1st day??? MINE!there was 3 other soda crates,but none had the cache as graf's. has a nice patina and damn it was heavy, so you know it's pretty old. certainly looks older than the assorted national beverage co. crates that i got at a rumage sale.
now, where shall i put the damn thing?
