Fun Finds & Rusty Treasures & Paint Sprayer?

 These are just random pics from the store,

and a question:

 Those of you who use paint sprayers for your furniture:

What do you use?

I have a piece that is too difficult too brush paint,

and too big for cans of spray paint.

and have wanted a sprayer for years anyway....

 I want something small, easy to set up, and easy to clean, and not a fortune to buy.

advice anyone?

 rusty display outside.....non related to paint sprayer. =)

cute little truck part made into shelf.

Thanks for visiting.

Beautiful Kodak Camera

Our shopping trip last week yielded, among other things,

this wonderful Kodak camera.

It is a model B-4, patented on Oct.19, 1909.

 The camera and case are in beautiful condition,

and I assume camera works perfectly fine.

(not a camera expert, but finding out from one).

It is so clean, I wonder if it has even ever been used.

Those white marks on the case are where I had not dusted it off yet.=)

Thanks for visiting.

Vintage Pins

Just a plain old jewelry box.

Till you look inside...

 

A whole bunch of old Girl Scout pins....

It's going to fun, and a challenge to find out about these...

That is part of what I love about this business..

learning new things.

Here is an easy little project for you.

Just strips of torn fabric

 

stamped with pleasant thoughts.

 

all for today.

Boyco Oil or Gas Can

 This is some loot I got a couple of weeks ago.

Loved all the rusty goodness.

Since that flat red can had a name on it,

I looked it up.

Hard to read, but it says "Boyco"

 Found pics and listing on ebay.

It is a gas can from a Model "T" running board.

Over 80 years old!!

(some sights say oil can, so not sure which it is)

 I'm showing pics of front, back, bottom, and all,

as I'm hoping someone will see it and want to purchase it.

This one has much more paint on it than most of the pics I found.

The only flaw is the little crack in the lid.

I did not fill it to see if it leaked there or not, but can.

This could have been part of set of three: red gas, blue oil, white water.
Very fun to find out about these old things and find a treasure once in awhile.
$55 plus shipping

Joining these parties this week.

Thanks for hosting ladies. =)

Be blessed all.

How Sweet The Sound Blog Shop

 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.

Clocks, and Radios, and Other Things I Love

Clocks are some of my fave things,

that I can never seem to resist buying.

 

This wonderful old clock even works.

has key and all.

 

Isn't it beautiful?

 love the face......

and on some, the crustier and older the better. 

No one seems to care if they work or not. 

just love to display them. like me. =)

 

On the left in this pic is not a clock,

 but an old sports timer.And it works! a loud buzzer though.

 

I love how you can just add a clock to any old display and it makes it special.

 

 Now to old radios, another fave.

Love this will all the buttons on each side.

 again, does not seem to matter to most if they work or not...

They just love the old look of them.

I think this one is much more than a radio.

Click on teh pic to make it bigger,

then see if you can tell me what it is?

Here is one more old radio and I'll be done for today.

Love the rounded edges on this one....

It is an old battery operated Farm radio...

This one can easliy be made to work again

someone elses project though, not mine.=)

 

I even love the back!!!

I guess I said "other things I love" too, but will save those for another day.

Thanks for visiting.

 be blessed
