Cool stuff from the past two weeks

[Dougie Webb]

I've had precious little time to hunt the last few weeks because of my motor rebuild, but I've snagged a few things that I really like. My first lock, an old file that I cleaned up and will be putting into service, my THIRD Sardines from Maine tin from the late 60's (yard find - one of the construction workers *really* liked sardines), a primitive hammer (thanks to the forum for ID!), a UL-approved whatsit from a new homesite I found, along with a few coins, and yet another magnetic, heavy, UIO (Unidentified Iron Object).

And one of my favorites, which was my very first find at a homesite from the early 1900's, this fireplace ash-door-thingie (I think).



And here's the "lot." Thanks for looking! And if you're in the ATL, I have a couple neat places to explore near my house in Stone Mountain. PM me if you're interested.



OH! And lest I forget, the Fairlane that's received a new top end. She is going up for sale, so PM me if it strikes your fancy.

Thanks! I used to live in Wilmington back in 1976-77.

Nice finds, and the Fairlane very much strikes my fancy but my wife would not let me put another vehicle in the driveway!

I have a 69 F100 in the garage, so she said this one must go!

Thanks man, I was sure happy with the way it turned out! I just switched out the stock 14" steel wheels and hubcaps for these 17's. It's been unbelievable the difference that's made.

Thanks! And you have to be careful - dating yourself with "H-E double hockey sticks"!
