1ST ESTATE SALE POST

granny moving sale. ooh, grandma had a lot of good shit! some of grandpa's too. but can't get it all. missed a few things. ooh, that was a nice footstool with ball feet. and odd was the missmaitched stained glass windows in the buffet, piano window and the built ins. 1910ish bungalow. OH! the woodwork, very similar to the woodwork in the 1910ish duplex i grew up in. neater archway tho. BUT, the fucking 60's. they removed the woood backing and shelves in the 'archway' built-ins and backed it with horrid colored glass and glass shelves. BLEGH!. no updateing in kitchen! and all the extra old stuff! spent way too much. but but but got bargains! i got 2 old caution lamps. one much older. 40's? 30's? very heavy metal and painted white. another mexican potter squirrel, but but but he's REALLY old. 2 old ledgers(i use them!) and 2 old books. one ebay? old box-ebay, a good advertising ice pick( yes, another collection), a scandanavian salt and pepper set-funkay chickens!, but best was the cork tube box with 3 tiny hand carved dice. now maybe somebody out there can help. not ivory, elephant, whale or walrus. they are very white. does not look like bone. what else did sailors use? could it be baleen? wonder if they float.

at the end of my saling i had to go back, i didn't get the wood covered socket-very old. wood? for a socket??? also found a greek/roman nick-nack, my texasstan e-pal collects that stuff and a OLD aluminum #2 tag, marked for a milw high school. what was that used for?, but i had also missed the big one. a 40's umbrella, gold bakelyte handle painted and carved. had all the tip ends and the top that is missing usually. yes, nother collection.
