New treasures.
I have found so many great things lately I have not even had time to post about them.
So here, in a flurry, are a few, without much talking. (Yeah right you are all saying) =)
First of all...anyone know what this is, or what it is for??
and what about this strange wire meshy sort of thing with a handle??
Hoping someone will know.
I bought it because... it is rusty.. and it is different.
and here are more rusty goodies. Cherry pitter, masher, and....? whip?
I thought that 3rd thing might be cute with a nest on it. =)
and how about a really cool, and also very rusty hair crimper?
love that green handle!
This might be cute propped up in a plant...
vintage pressure cooker...found 2 of these.
and cooool garden claw thingy.
thanks for coming by.

Eeek! Love them all! Not long ago I was watching some show and I saw a vintage something-or-other that I didn't even KNOW existed! So in the future whenever I find THINGS and can't figure out what they are or what they were used for I know where to come! Miss Barbara Jean! Yep...she knows what everything is! :)

Hi Barbara Jean, Your first item is a weeding tool. Second is a tea strainer. Third is indeed a whip for powdered milk or eggs, cream etc. The green handled thingy is a mystery though, can't see it very well. The claw thingy is just for hand tilling of the soil prior to planting seeds. This is fun - I love looking at all the old bits and pieces. Thanks
Hi Barbara Jean~
I'm not into rusty stuff..
but the odd springy thing in the first pic with the potato masher is actually a strainer.. for Martinis.
It came with a container, with a lid into which you poured the ingredients, added ice and shook, then strained while pouring into a chilled glass for serving.
warmest hugs.. Loui♥
Hi Barb, I'm going to guess that the first one is a weeding tool, and the second is a cast iron pot scrubber.
Have a great day!

The thing with the springs in a circle is an egg separator. They still make them!
wow, I had no idea what some of these things were but glad to see that your readers do!! That first one is pretty wicked looking, isn't it?
I have one of those old pot scrubbers. I took it last time I set up at a sale and all the young gals asked what it was
Hi Barbara Jean. Love, love, love your garden tools. I have a collection of old tools and I sprinkle them throughout my yard. I can't bear to part with any of them.
The second item "wire, meshy thing" is a pot chain or scrubber. It dates to the early 1900's.
