**********************************
Weather seems to be stuck it the 20's 30's area, not what makes me be a happy guy.
Started off the day with a flat tire, but hey life happens. As a futrue backup I went and got one of those little compressors that plugs into the cigarette lighter and a can of Fix-A-Flat.
Hey you remember when there were gas stations all over that fixed flats ad cars too. Heck if you find one with an air pump they want .75 or a buck for air.
Anyway played around adding a few things to the shop and a couple of items to eBay, less and less though, used to be a fun place to sell put now mostly bottom feeders. Well ok there are some serious buyers and collectors but they're being out numbered.
Looking around here it looks like a full winter of picking through boxes and adding to the shop. Should be interesting, ya never know what I might find. Also many boxes of postcards to go through.
Starting to get some calls on my New Years auction consignments, now I gotta go dig out some of my stuff lnstead of at the last minute.
A few new additions:
Antique Copper Pot w/ Dovetailed Bottom
Antique copper pot with dovetailed bottom. Two riveted on handles. The pot is tinned inside. About 10-1/2 in diameter and 6-3/4 inches high. Haven't tried to clean it other than a little soap and water. Has some verdigris (green) and discoloring from age. Has a '35' stamped in near rim and a '23' put in with a punch. Great additin to your antique kitchen collection.
More antique kitchenware in the shop.
Handmade, Wooden Covered Wagon, Canvas Top
A neat handmade, wooden covered wagon with canvas top and lots of accessories such as water barrel, rifle, powder horn, axe, saw, rocking chair, anvil and more. Just noticed that the hand brake also works. About 11 inches long and 6-1/2 inches tall. Marked Made in Mexico, Hand Made, Y Moreno.

Gem Push Button Safety Razor
Gem push button safety razor with a black ribbed, plastic handle, and gold-color finish, but is worn through on top. Cosmetic only, doesn't affect the usage. To replace the standard singleedge blade, push in the button located under the razor head. I believe these came out in the late 1950's.
