ReplyDeleteThose are really cool finds!
I remember stores that used pokey thingies :)
Love all that rust! Farms finds are the best! You did great! Is that picture frame for sale? And did you come up with a price on that frog? Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI sure remember those pokey things so well.I remember the resturants used them when you went up to pay and after they were finished ringing it up they put the bill on the pokey thing. Never knew what they were called but I've collected a few just because I thought they were cool!

I just love all your finds... rusty and old and then you always come up with the greatest way to re-purpose them and show them off!
ReplyDeleteLove your finds...the "pokey things" are receipt holders from old stores. The merchant would just stack up the days' receipts on the holder and keep them in one place for totaling at the end of the day. I used one in my antiques shop--it was handy.
ReplyDeleteFabulous stuff!! What is it about old rusty things that so grabs our hearts and minds? I moved onto 7.5 acres last year, and the previous owners left quite a few old enamel ware pieces (trays, bowls etc) used to feed and water their cats - I also found some rusted milk cans (rusted through the bottoms, but still beautiful) and chicken waterers. As far as the typewriters go, I picked up an old manual Fox, and started looking for how to clean/fix it. This two site has some good info: http://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-restoration.html
