A few finds from the last couple of weeks. Bought the cart at auction a couple of weeks ago. Was advertised as a railroad baggage handlers cart. Heavy and made of Oak its 30" wide and 76" long. It has two metal wheels covered in rubber about 9" in diameter. I've not been able to find anything like it online. Anyone else ever see something like this?I paid $80.00 for it.
The Morris chair which needs some work I paid $15 dollars for.
Also on the way back from visiting the folks in Tennessee I saw a flea market that was empty except for a single vender. Stopped in and saw a small pile of jewelry which the woman had priced at 50cents each. I didn't have my glasses on so I just picked 6 pieces that I thought might be ok. Paid the lady and tossed them in the console and drove on. Got home that night and thought I"d take a look. 4 necklaces, 2 bracelets. 1 necklace = silver 0.2 oz, 1 bracelet = silver 0.1 oz and one bracelet 14k gold with Jade elephants just under half oz. Took it to my jeweler and he said as scrap he'd give me $125 but that I shouldn't scrap it since its such a nice piece. no pics of it yet but I'll get some up soon.
