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??

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.

Joining Angie @

Fun Wood Projects

 Quick Project:

had 3 of these oak heat register grates.

Two sold as they wre complete,

and this one had slats missing,

so I finally did a little project with it.

 a Christmas tree.

(You could also get some weathered slats or lath, or new and stain it).

Took me about an hour.

 This I got at an estate sale last month.....

it was filled with these 21 drawers and were they

ever stuck in there, and it was all filthy.

We put it by wood stove for awhile

 and finally got all drawers out.

Now, decision:

fix the 'frame' it was in, which is pretty wobbly and coming apart,

or just sell all the drawers individually.

I love the challenge of putting it all back together, but honestly,

can make much more out of it just selling the drawers.

What would you do???

be blessed
