ooh, last 2 days good estate sales. thursday not really 'good', but it was interesting. at 1st all i was gonna get was a wood spoon for a quarrter. but then at the checkout desk i saw an attractive cigarette lighter. could be a good ebay item, but the 1st one i found something i have desired for a long time. an old coffee grinder. and i got it better than 1/2 price. weeeee. late 1800's with a nice box. very nice dove tailing for $30 instead of 37.50. YES.
and today. oh, i was a bad girl. the woman must have been some east european ethic. had a translation book for a language i never heard of. and was she a mexico lover! and i am surprised. usuall this estate seller is usually sharper. 25¢ for a very early WOODEN matchbox in a brass holder?? i pulled it out. matches were from sweden. hmmm, now which one am i willing to put on ebay? the swedish or he old nippon one i got over a year ago for 50¢.
i wonder if the repaired checkoslovakian rooster pitcher would do well on ebay. it was just TOO funky for a buck to pass up. damn, i wish i could post photos. it would certainly add to this. also got another plack enameled fridge container. i LOVE those. now i have 3. and for what? and an odd paper back book from 1941. cover is so like communistic. MAN OF TODAY! must investigate.

and the next sale. 2 old old books, on ene with 20's ads in it. cool. and annother thing i have wanted(but why????) a old old wooden planer. now i will have to compare to figure out how old it is. seems rather old to me.

and BOY did i make money on that old 'car/bus? fan with the rubber blades and bakelite case. paid maybe 75¢. got a lot for $4. and he bid 4.99 on it and more on shipping. ha! paid for the estae sale and more. plus, i am really really loving the purplish little covered pot i got at the same sale.
i LOVE pack rats.
but then, i am one myself. which is bad. i should be selling more. but some things would not make any money anyways and dammit, I AM RECYCLING!
