I always seem to find unique stuff in dumpsters!

[UnknownTreasures]

This is one of my best new dumpster-dive finds. An autograph book circa 1939. Not sure if any of the signatures are famous people or not. It did also have an inserted folded up piece of paper with an autograph of 'Keystone the Magician'. Anyone know if this guy is even famous? I'm also selling it on EBAY if anyone is interested. If not, I will just pass it on to my Treasure Hunting friends.

You can see more pics, or the auction here!

did you find other treasures from that time? I bet someone threw out a box full.

Well it's actually full of signatures, and unfortunately there were no more.

This is all I found on Keystone the Magician
Looks like he performed at a church in Portsmouth OH.

I work at a grocery store in the produce department,& all of our bad product has to be thrown away in dumpsters out back(city ordinence ),so less of it goes to the land fill,anyway the other day I was throwing away a cart full of into the dumpsters,and sitting next to them is someone trash from a home/apartment. There was a microwave,some boots size 9,some bed sheets and 4 necklaces,2 were real nice ,925 stamped on them.Those 2 went into my pocket.I just got back from the store I sell my silver/gold to & I got $125 for them.Not bad for a days work.
