RANDOM ESTATE SALE POST-WAUWAtosa! tuesday

just a little north of the school architech's estate sale. little 1920's house. but a hollywood tudor/spanish/italianesque little house. sadly in need of a lot of work. seemed like it hadn't been lived in for quite a while. old 70's shag rug. the kitchen had been brady bunched. ick poo ack ack! the basement was horribly musty and dammp and grotty. apparently something was living in the garage. a coon or possum. did not see that and part of the back porch fell off beforwe i left! ceiling in diningroom quite bad but the details were there! spansih plaster in the basement! a faux fireplace like we have.
sigh. and a set of 1892 encyclopedia britannicas in the smelly basement. i took 1 because it is fancier than my 1891s.
i got a $3 bag full of silverplate suger and creamer sets. 2 with trays. found a sweet little pestle in the kitchen. a fancy butter dish bottom. now that i have the power i may post pics of the best shit! also paid $9 for a table/bookcase on a pedestal that turns. can't remember what it is called. OH, and an eglish hallmarked silver tray! that and the sheffield paul revere sugar pot and creamer were the steals! now can i get on ebay?

OH! i can post pics of my $25 chair!

right pic is the sale house.

left is the school architect's. man i made great deals from that sale. and i still have a few more things to ebay from there i think.

Comments:
The pictures are great.

FYI - they show up over (guy in doorway) / under, not left/right at least the way I see them.
