@The37Kid Found one on eBay. Says it’s a ‘46-‘47 Hudson. Thanks to @Harv for confirming my suspicions.
Just picked up a Wayne air compressor (tank is from 1940 and the pump maybe from the 50's) So far the pump is good, I just need to pressure check the tank for safety reasons and find a motor to power it up and with new wiring and plumbing I will have endless air! Well for what I need at least.
C’mon Mark! We know you’re talented enough to make that display board for your collection, what are you waiting for?
Just got a motor for the compressor but here is what I have. I just bought a Wayne catalogue from 1941 and it looks like this is the original compressor and tank combo. Will pressure test in the spring and design a plumbing system for the garage. Woohoo air!!!!!
Picked up this sweet little wagon a while back from a buddy who frequents estate sales! Anyone know where to get reproduction tires for vintage wagons?
Picked up these two nifty items at a rummage sale this weekend, for one dollar, and 50 cents, respectively.
Got this aerial photo of my town at a house cleanout tag sale, taken around 1950 -52, I was born in 1950. I can remember that row of houses on the street closest to the bottom. First photo I've ever seen of some of my earliest memories. I remember some of the long gone houses, just never remember so many others that were once there and are now covered with parting lots.
Picked up a few good old things at a swap meet last weekend! In Albany Oregon. It was quite cold but luckily there wasn't too much in the way of outside wares to view. My friend from work came as well and we hit up the booths the moment the doors opened. We are the old greasy tools kinda buyers so we side stepped the new tool vendors and went to the back to hunt rusty gold in the shadows. We stepped in the door and commenced power picking. The crowd was filling the place up but I still managed to pull a few good items that tickled my fancy. -super cool old orange wood cabinet/ tool storage? It almost looks like an old side table that someone converted? It has a cool galvanized metal top. Paid $30 - amazing set of Doorman parts cabinet drawers. Zip code shows #0 so it's pre '59. Its missing a drawer but I already have it on the way from ebay. - bundled the doorman parts bins with the Proto MFD era 100hr carry box. super solid with a great logo...Paid $75 for the box and the bins. -free speedmaster box and speed handle. Cant beat that price. -80's era military web belt and plastic canteens. I dont collect this era but these are exactly like the ones I had as a kid so I bought them for my son. -Pile of plomb. Alot of the sockets are not in great shape but they were $1 each -2 tappet wrenches, 1/2 drive shallow and deep sockets . Grind off wrench that it appears to be plomb? - early cape nose chisel with poor markings -3/8 extension $1 -unused craftsman crown top plane still in box with instructions $10 - super cool mobil pegasus oil can $10 - minty Mopar piston skirt expander box with expanders still in it. Box is 30's/ 40's. It's so mint I had to check it out before I bought it because it looks like a repro its so nice. $20 -Cool Dinky toy for my sons collection. Dunlop labeled van $18 -misc proto -proto la soft faced hammer $8 - betr grip scraper for $1 - 4 mfd era metrics! no been easy to find but I'm so stoked. Paid .50 each - proto J series key chain screwdriver. It's labeled with advertisor info on both sides so no proto markings but it is unmistakably proto -long proto la flat tip $2 -huge proto la 1252 wrench. yes I paid asking price. 1-7/16 size **blackhawk porta power roll cart** it looks rough but is actually really solid. surface rusty and filthy but will clean up ok. I never see these for sale** Craftsman- -2 long c dbe's - 25mm to fill a void in the wrench roll I bought last week $10 - free long c screwdriver **weird drag link screwdriver extension** I havent seen this before ? Doesnt look home made.... -another long c dbe to go with the ones I found last week. I dont find these often and now all of a sudden I find them 2 in a row? **super cool ww2 era photos. they are out of a book that was given out by Richfield oil company at the stations. Someone glued them into the book and the seller cut them out to make individual prints. I would have liked to buy the whole book but then again seller probably would have wanted an arm and leg. Had to pay $4 each. -also got a ww1 dated canteen with cover and cup for $5
I know. I bought it just for the box as it is so minty I had to check to see if it was a reproduction. There are 6 in the package so we know it's for a 6 cylinder. I like mopar nos parts so I had to get it. Thanks. It's an old blackhawk port-a-power base for a hydraulic shop press. Really cool but stripped of all it's attachments. It has gone to my friends house as a base for his late
a Bremer Whirlwind tether car from an antique show, and 3 cars I found in an antique store in Pennsylvania. I need to put a motor and electrical system in the tether car.
This is the latest addition to my collection of spy/miniature cameras. It's an Echo 8, made by Suzuki Optical Co., from '51 to '56. In the disassembled photo you can see the brass film cassettes, and the film between them, and the piece with the fake lighter parts. the 3rd shot shows it with a few of my other miniature cameras. The one that looks like a pocket watch is an Expo Watch Camera, made from 1905 to about 1935 in New York.
Heres a hard to believe story , just happened. Storm outside. I,m just going through my old 1970s LP collection that i have,nt touched in decades. Step daughter came in and was kind of blown away by the old stuff. She pulls out a Jeff Wayne War of the Worlds double album that i had completely forgotton about. Complete with the book/story inside. Quite a few Aussie rock that i had forgotten about too. Anyhow, we,re sitting in the livingroom and i can hear the War of Worlds music . WTF, She can hear it too . WTF,, !!! The next door neighbour is playing War of Worlds at that moment, LOUD. I,m in for a joke so i go next door with my new found double LP and tell him to quiten down a bit, i have my own if i want to listen. His jaw drops, he only has it on a stick without the narrarated story by Richard Burton. let alone the enclosed book/folder. He puts it on his fancy record player and is in seventh heaven . He wants to buy it . Now that was the reason i dug the stuff up again , to put up some ads for Christmas. €25 was agreed, strange but true. Now i have to dig up a photo from the internet
I'd love to see the Cold War era pictures that lighter camera took. I can't believe those were a cheap novelty thing that someone would buy just to have it, someone must have paid pretty big bucks to be able to take clandestine pictures with that. I wonder what kind of resolution they'd get? It had to be hard to adjust. I wonder what stories it could tell.
Kodak Hawk-Eye No. 2 produced 1926-1934 from what I found online. I guess nowadays you have to send film out somewhere to get it developed.
