Flea Markets, Neat Collectible Stuff

**********************************

Had a pretty good day at the market on Sunday, little chilly in the morn, but as the sun came over the trees it got pretty nice out, but a steady breeze which chilled it up a bit.  Ran around and did some early buying a few neat things but no home runs. Steady crowd of buyers which was nice, makes the time move smoother. 

Monday I went and moved to a smaller storage unit, did a lot of compressing boxes etc. to save space and after a bit I got it all to fit with a little space left over. Found a bunch of hardware and other stuff at the bottom of the old unit, a few milk crates full. Will have to sort that out and a bunch of old tools etc. Good market stuff. Also got a bunch of plastic tubs of stuff for the auction on Saturday. One way stuff to the auction and never to return. But of course I'll buy other stuff to replace it, that always happens. 

A few recent shop additions:

Surface Mount Victorian Chain Bolt
Surface mount top or chain bolt in decorative cast iron, circa 1890's. Bolt is in good working order, no keeper. Bolt is all original, including the attached pull chain with finger ring which was used to allow access to the top bolt on taller doors. Casting is approx. 5-1/4 x 2-1/8 inches.
