My favorite piece from the auction!

Lurking under the dirt and grime was a brass plate. I got out my brass polish and there it is! I love the contrast between the rusty jug and the shiny brass plate. From 1921, Worcester, MA. I do like weird stuff, don't I?
SOLD! :(

Cameras!


Two cute little cameras. One is a Brownie and the other is a Falcon Rocket. These look great on a shelf in a little grouping. A nice inexpensive collectable.
Falcon is SOLD!

Wooden puzzle in slide top box

Old wooden puzzle cut in Keene, NH. I started to put it together, but with all those quirky shapes, my brain started to hurt!


Old display box

Cool old display box has a top that lifts off. Cork on back would allow for things to be pinned to it. This box will stand on it's side for display also. I have a few old sewing things, but the possibilities for displays are endless!
SOLD!

1940 Insurance Advertising Calendar


Big wall calendar from 1940 with a five digit phone number listed for John Cuddy Jr. Insurance Co.
SOLD!

Cleaning up after the storm

We got our power back late Sunday night, but the wires for cable, internet and phone had all been ripped out. They can't get out to restore them until tomorrow, March 3rd, so I am at the library using my laptop and their Wi-Fi access. What a great service! We have spent several days cleaning up all the brush and clearing out the area by the store where the big tree fell so we can re-open for the weekend. We are ready to go. Open regular business hours, Thursday through Sunday from 10-5. Can't wait to get back to work!

Curved single yoke


I love this old farm piece. I haven't seen one with a curve in it like this before. Looks like it was hand made.

Aluminum egg mold


Well used, (and dented) egg mold for making small cakes.
SOLD!

Bookshelf with mint green shelves

Nice compact size bookshelf with three shelves. Exterior is off white, and interior is minty green.

Easter treat bags


Little individual Easter treat bags, have a tiny bunny face pocket with wire hanger, and some chocolates. Great for Easter baskets.

Wall of horse stuff!


Lots of cool horse stuff. A bridle with blinders, wooden stirrups, a crop, horse hoof trimmers, and some old iron pieces that were dug up on a farm in Connecticut.
Wooden stirrups and crop are SOLD!
