The top two pics today are obvious items....

the rest, a mystery to me.

If anyone knows what they are please let me know.

Would love to learn about them.

I got 6 30" wheels at a sale last weekend. great yard art.

And that huge saw blade too.

 we are going from huge to tiny.

A 2" Webster Dictionary.

so cute!!

Now for unknowns.

This item is brass, and about 9" high.

Two pieces on right are top and bottom to a second one of

whatever the one on the left is.

Here is the back..or I think it is the back.

LOVE this piece. some kind of light.

Has writing on it, so can look it up.

Just did not get it done for this post.

It has patent 1920 on it...cool.

  very old car parts.

And another I do not know what.

Looks like a crank for a boat, but really have not clue.

This is the back, I think...

any ideas??

 Since I rarely have time to post any more,

so today will just be some pics, and a few words, about yesterday's finds.

Yes, I said yesterday's.

and this is not all of them. =)

top pic: some of the loot we picked up down the road a bit.

Great rusty stuff....

 here is another 'pile' of loot.

Love that green.

  I buy globes whenever I can find, and afford them.

This dark blue one is quite different than I have seen before.

and very art deco base too.

 

and red, another fave color.

and rusty wheels with spokes. lovin' it.

anyone know what this is?

it's from the 60's.

Come back later and I'll tell you. =)

be blessed, and thanks for coming by.

Some Reds for You

Kitchen reds..

Did some rearranging at the store..

Bits of this and that..

Tins...always fun..no matter what they are or were used for.

 

Cool 1970's Cracker Jack tin, and the lid and crank part to an old butter churn.

Cool even without the jar....

One whole shelf unit of reds here, and scattered throughout the room

Usually cannot pass up reds. =)

and this mystery piece. 

Just picked this up. Love it but don't know what it is, or is to.

It is about 2' long, and 18" wide and 4" tall.

If you turn it over on the other side it has hearts on it.

Can you see them??

Any ideas?? what it was or what fun thing we can do with it?

Thanks all for coming by.

Fun Finds, Sewing Machine, and What Is It???

 Well OK folks. Here is the latest o the sewing machine.

That 'crank thingy' as I called it previously, is indeed the 'knee' pedal

as some of you said.

We attached it, hung it over the edge of the table,

plugged it in and the machine ran!!!

I threaded as best I could figure out, ran a piece of fabric

 through it, and it sews like a dream....

 

except that the tension is off and thread loopy on the bottom.

I'm guessing it is because I do not have the bobbin in right somehow.

I'll have to check it out via serial number and see what I can find.

 But here is something cute: see in the top bobbin picture that little button?

If you push on it with your finger it pops the bobbin up to get it out.

Isn't' is cute?? (OK. I know I am easily entertained.) =)

Anyway, this thing sounds and runs great.....

on to some new finds now.

 How about this sifter......It has removable lids on both ends!!!

interesting.

 here is just an ordinary sifter, but love the creamy yellow, and green.

 some silver 'tongs' of sorts. What are they for???

 not sure. any ideas???

 And...mystery item of the day.....

This is silver, about 3" tall, sits, has 2 lids, with separated compartments.

Lettering: maybe E and H??

Thanks for all your help blogger friends.

have a great weekend
