Small industrial work table

Metal top with one shelf below. This measures 25-1/2 by 20 by 31 inches tall. I would add some wheels to bottom to finish it off! SOLD!

Wooden door, great for displays!

I always love having these old doors in the store, perfect for displaying wreaths or other seasonal items. This does have a large crack on one side, and chippy white paint over yellow. The door measures 32-1/2 by 78-1/2 inches tall. SOLD!

Sweet little bench

Not too old, but what a great look! This is painted brown but it looks like it was green before that. This measures 36-3/4 wide and 24 inches tall.

Another gorgeous sleigh!

Some of you may have seen this, but not everyone follows me on facebook, so here it is again! Lovely old sleigh has been stored in a barn all it's life, so no rot whatsoever. In fantastic condition. This was made in New York and was signed by the sleigh maker. I have added a photo of the signature to this post. This is just a beauty with old red and black paint. No seat, but comes with original hames used for horse and an old halter, and has whip holder and whip. The sleigh is 100 inches long and approx. 45 inches high at highest part and approx. 44 inches wide from side rail to side rail. SOLD, but we will be storing it for a while and can continue using as a display!

Soft sided suitcase with travel decals

I am drawn to these old suitcases just for the history of where they have traveled! This one has many decals on both sides and front. Inside was a dated stub from 1973, which to some of us may not seem so long ago, but in reality was 41 years ago! This measures 15 by 16 and is 8 inches tall. SOLD!

Painters brush box

Very cool! This tin painter's brush box could be filled with paint thinner to clean the brushes, and then carried right to the site. Two tin trays slide up and out to display the brushes for use. Then folds back in for portability. Comes with two Purdy brushes and a few vintage pure bristle brushes as well. Measures 11 by 9 by 14 inches tall. SOLD!

Scales!

Smaller one has been in the store, but wanted to show the size difference in the newly acquired green family scale. This green scale stands 10 inches tall. Made for Montgomery Ward stores. Great look! Large scale is sold!

Just the tray from a chick incubator!

Great for displaying! I had to put some of my wooly chicks in! This tray measures 27 by 27 inches and is 4 inches tall. SOLD!

Interesting wall hanging grater

I thought this was quite unique. The grater can hang from the wall and then be taken down when needed. There is a cover to go over the grater and a small drawer below that slides out to remove your grated items. Dovetailed corners. This measures 12-1/2 inches tall and is 7-1/2 inches across and 3-1/4 inches front to back.

Wooden gutter with brackets

This gutter is made of cedar. I don't think it's too, too old, but I know many people are repurposing these, so it would work for that! This measures ten feet long and has three hanging brackets. My friends have old wooden gutter sections over their windows and use them as shelves for smalls. So cool! SOLD!

40 pounds of Jelly beans? yes, please!

I bought this on Easter morning appropriately enough! Love these old candy buckets. This has it's bale handle, but missing the cardboard insert inside the lid. Great display for on top of a cupboard. Stands 13 inches tall and the lid has a diameter of 13 inches as well. SOLD!

1800's belt driven lathe

Such a cool primitive look! I fell in love with this piece as soon as I saw it. Large metal wheel (24 inch diameter) turns the belt which turns the lathe. We have a wooden dowel in place to show how it worked. This was powered by a treadle device which is no longer operational. However the wheel still turns and moves the belt. The stand is 40 inches wide and stands 40 inches tall. SOLD!
