FINALLY. fucking holidays are over and estate sales are back.
did 2 today. 1st one was a tad far for me, but the listing had the magic words. 3 generations. so, i am making a turn in St. francsis, and i get slightly bumbed from behind. not my fault. we pull over. my mom's fairly 'new' 1999? camry, no damage. his liscence a little askew. no harm no foul. get to the house. PERFECT parking spot in front of house. THANKS for hitting me!
best buys? a REALLY old black bear beverage bottle. soda is not even on bottle. although it does say properly carbonated.oh, the label is a hoot! made in cudahy, can anybody tell me more? the phone # is sheridan 4-7570, so it's pre WW2 i am sure.very heavy too.
also got some old building letter blocks. collect those too, a stray shooter marble-OLD, and a white with blue enamelware fridge 'box', with lid. AND it has a label.

2nd. oh ick, condo. well, it is close to $3 bag time, who knows. oooh, art teacher. best find, 2 very old wood shoe forms. yes, i seem to collect 'feet' too. and some possible ebayables. heck, just the peir one faux victorian shelf thing is worth $3.

then go home make dinner. PLUS, made some beefless, beef vegetable/wild rice soup. 1st time, VERY GOOD.

Comments:
That style of phone number is not a guarantee of pre-WW2. I can remember telling local (Chicago suburb)operators phone numbers that were 3 or 4 digits followed by a letter. Like 897-J.
That became MAyfair 9-0897. I would bet, but not much, that happened before we got a phone with a dial.
