    Default Yard Sales

    This is a place for your Yard sale, flea market finds.

    This box was too good to pass up. Aluminum C clamps, automotive stethoscope, Vise, Plomb 1/2 breaker bar, 18'' slot-head screw driver (not pictured), heavy gauge primary wire, long needle nose pliers, cressent wrench, tar knife and more. No biggie but it was a bargain at $5.00!

    A couple years ago, I stopped at a yard sale and asked if they had any vintage shave equipment.

    Long story, short.
    My first 7 day set...!!

    I'd be more likely to be struck by a meteorite than happen upon that lot!

    Keep a hard hat on, then. Your bound to get hit, someday.

    I've had many O great days, but a lot more in famine.
    My last one was from an antique's store.

    I love finding stuff in the wilds, I gives me the chance to meet new people, and possibly they can lead me towards more.

    Well, I do keep some cash on me at all times just in case they don’t take visa - now that my kid has decided she likes antique stores. But I’ve still got nothing...

    I’ve resigned to taking off the hard hat and waiting at the door until she’s done lol!

    I got lucky one time. Founf 3 razors from 1800's. But other than that, nothing. I keep looking when i get the change. Some day. Nice 7day set Mike. I got to start asking and not just looking. Folks might be hiding things in the back room.
    It's just Sharpening, right?

    Gotta ask, Jerry. Just like the guy at the flea market, who sells all those cheap, pocket knives. Mine had two Wade & Butchers hidden under the table. A celebrated Hollow ground, and a frameback.
