interesting clues. a EDISON mimeograph machine with instructions and case! way cool. damn! huge old old RCA speaker(?) with cover. big box with electrical stuff. is that a radio? go to basement! uh oh. cold cellar. whew. most of the canning jars are empty. that one says 1999. other shelf. those pickled don't look tooooo old, EEK, but the jar next to it! go. FLEE! ooh, that small old fan, cool. 20's? attic. lots of science math books. but he charges too much.
i did do the kitchen before the basement and found some goodies. a nice OLD pie crimper. redish wood? hmm, european? there were some east european translation books. check? polish? hungarian? wood handle/pewter knife. get that!
