School Bus Finds


We were pickin' a place out in the country,
and the fella told me where some items were
"out by the bus". What bus I said?
"The one in the blackberries over there."
So sure enough, other side of the blackberries was an old school bus.

And yes, school buses are yellow,
but inside they are my fave yummy green.
My sweet fella worked 4 hours to get these parts out.
The small panels in the first two pics.

And the dashboard!
  look at all the fun gauges
.
and the perfectly chippy rusty green paint.

and he even got the emergency door off!! yummy green inside,
 and school bus yellow on the outside. 

and here is the seat and base it goes on,
complete with the slider part for moving forward and back.
and look what great shape it is in.

Now to figure out prices for all of it.

Thanks for visiting.
Be blessed

More Fun Finds


Flea market shopping yesterday.
Bought the cart, then filled it. =)

  close up of rusty treasures.
(more pics to come on my FB page.)


Love this old butter churn.
First metal one I have seen.


Close-up of metal coolness.

 

Paddles intact.
Only thing missing is the wood lid.
Maybe we should make some for it...
what do you think?


I think they are called Franciscan.
Not sure....Not a dish person really too much.

Thanks for visiting.

Vintage Finds


Went to a warehouse sale last weekend,
and loved this box.....but wait!
 look at the inside... charts, wheel, stuff....

it is a 1955 Voltmeter....used to measure usage of electricity.
so cool. and one of my customners cmae in next day
and his Dad actually used to read meters with one.



 extra charts in the door....
and see the ink bottle at bottom right of door.
It even came with the original bottle of ink in a case, 
to fill this one with. (and still has ink!)
so fun!

more new finds....an old lantern....more to ocme on that.
and an unknown object on yellow stool in middle.
Found out it is a 'crimper' or 'fluter' from early 1900's.
(more on that to come on another post.)
 
and cranks. I love them! not sure what they are off of, 
but great decor (or towel holder) on a rustic wall.


Here is last find this post. (but more to come)
