I took one photo of this on it's side because my friend Maria likes to use these old crates in a different way. So, it could be used as a little cupboard, or use it as a crate down flat. Divided into two sections inside and has an awesome label on each end that read butter, cheese,
eggs and poultry. Measures 28 by 12-1/2 inches and is 14-1/2 inches tall. SOLD!

Lockey and Howland table top apple peeler
Patented mid 1850's is this table top apple peeler manufactured by Lockey and Howland. It is missing an arm, but just look at those gears! Maybe you can't use it to peel an apple, but it will make a great display piece.
Hand painted wooden cat sign
My husband and I are decidedly "dog people" In all the years we have been together, we have owned one cat, a pretty tiger colored cat that looked just like this one! We didn't go out looking for a cat, but she found us. I came home one day and there was this tiny little kitten, only about 5 weeks old hiding under the tractor in the garage. How could we refuse her? This sign reminded me of our beloved Tiger, so I had to buy it. It measures approx. 11-1/2 inches by 7 inches. Sleepy Cat Inn. The back reads Ox Pond Press, Webster, NH
Wooden sap bucket cover and sap spiles
I bought a great lot of these hand carved wooden sap spiles. Each one is different and unique. Then while making room in my storage trailer, I discovered one last wooden sap bucket cover that I forgot I had. They are perfect together!
Sap spiles are SOLD!
Sap cover is SOLD!
An assortment of wooden items
There is something about wooden pieces that I am attracted to! Tool box looks like it had a lock at one time that someone pried off. Maybe they thought there was some treasure hidden inside. The smallest boot jack I have had, only 11 inches long! Love the wooden shoe form, it has great patina, and some relic that has rusty metal on the back and a rusty screen in the center. Not sure what it was, but it's cool!
Boot jack and the screen and wood piece are SOLD!

Cool wooden box
Measures 32 inches by 5-1/4 inches and is 4 inches tall. I love the patina on this! My clever friend Maria likes to use things in a different way and she will stand a box on it's side to use it as a shelf. Here it is shown standing up with two of her hearts on the shelf.
