RANDOM HOARD POST
i am attracted to #s. never know what kind i will find. i have 3 addresses like shown. just got 3 more of the white porcelain #s. OOOH a 5! the 224 is very special to me. my grandparents house had a USED heater. granpa gave me the original bill. it was this huge gavanized ting with 1 ft wide ducts. i called it the octopus. made the most wonderful heat and was quite efficient. i rarely see them a sales. he had to replace it when grandma had to go into the nursing home and had to spend money on 'improvements'. the new thingy was smaller, but never worked as well. i think grandpa called it a gravity heater. well, before they could haul the BIG cast iron 'face plate' away- about 2ft by 2 1/2 feet, i detached as many things as i could. my cousin dan took this thing that was comet shaped. have the 'humidifer' cover somewhere. got pictures of the poor thing on the lawn. when we were kids we would ride tricycles around it. the other 2are from estate sales as well. the 45 tho is displayed with the other side. terminus hotel i think it said. that was an accidental shoplift. but i spent plenty at that sale. cool house. and everything for sale. they were going to tear it down! and it had very good bones! the lady who had owned it was a volunteer after WW2 over in europe. also a jew. i have an old photo album of hers. sold a silk pilot escape map of eastern europe for a very nice profit. shit. paid $1 for the map i think and sold for $60+. so glad i didn't give it to my brother. if i remember right, her name was goldie. i will have to look in my records to see exactly what else i got there. i emember the bags of knick-knacks from the far east.....and the old fashioned window vent.......and the damaged copy of jane eyre......i remember too much!
