I swear you never know what you ill findat the flea market and garage sales. I bought this bioscope (what ever that is) for $5 I paid $2 for a copper pot with lion heads its stamped made in England on the bottom. The old lady said it was from the 20's-30's . A pair of wood water skis (kid size) for 50 cents and finaly a 1915 marriage cert for a buck . Any info on any of this would be great Thanks and HH all

Nice picks and even better prices! The Bioscope is a type of projection microscope or so it seems. http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artmay12/mm-Bioscope.pdf
The Cypress Gardens skis are cool and for .50, makes them even better. Cypress Gardens has been around for years and I haven't been there since I was a kid in the '70s. It was once known as the water skiing capital of the world. It closed for a while I think. They reopened it as "LEGOLAND". Yesterland Side Trip: Cypress Gardens before and After LEGOLAND Florida
The copper planter is nice and vintage and should sell well.
The marriage certificate will probably get you $15-$20 from the looks of the completed listings.

I dig it! Cool finds and how often do you find a museum piece like that Bioscope? Looks strongly built. How heavy is it?

Thanks for the info Dig, I love old school parks :-{ ) Tamrock - Its pretty heavy Id say @ 10-15 lbs built to last and very soild . It has a bulb inside and lights up.

Even tho I have never been even close to cypress gardens, i can remember it for all the skiers. looks like legoland turned it into ugly plastic land.
