I completed this project today. This is a Virden Light Products pull-down fixture that I bought at a local estate sale a few weeks ago. The original finish was brass and badly tarnished, but the fixture was complete. It was in the basement on a shelf and had obviously been there for some time...

Stopped in a new local discount store over the weekend and found this, so naturally had to buy some. Apparently comes from Turkey. This is a ultra-white formula per the package. It has a light scent that doesn't hang on after the wash or the dry cycle. Seems to be low sudsing in my...

Found this today in a thrift shop. Thought it was interesting. Does anyone have or know which refrigerator this would have belonged to?

Saw this at a tag sale today, although not for sale. A brand I have not seen before now.

Has anyone else bought a Christmas gift for yourself? It has been a stressful week for me. Mom has been in and out of the hospital twice, and is now okay and settled back into her assisted living. While driving home the other day, I was passing a Goodwill that I haven't visited in some time and...

or soon will be. This found it's way to my house today. What could it be?

This is what my $4.00 bought today at one estate sale. Steam iron cleaner and a sprinkling bottle for my laundry needs. Realistic Weatheradio, that works, for the latest in weather info. Spare cord for one of my roasters. Ekco stainless vanadium utensils, and a Corning Cookmates kettle for...

I got this dryer back in October 2013. It came from the original owners' estate and sat in the same place since it was installed new. Still plugged in and in use. The right rear bottom of the cabinet was rusted thru after years of sitting next to the matching washer, which was replaced some...

Can't resist anything that makes coffee. Found this today for $1 at a local antique show. Looks to be 4 cup size, all cast aluminum, electric, works. Royal Family of Kitchenware from a little browsing of the internet. Anyone else ever come across anything like this?

My latest acquisition. It was still in use in the home of the original owner. Got this for free, my favorite price, but this poor baby is a challenge. Model 1DA820Y4W Serial YY211769

Stopped by a thrift store today that I frequent when I'm nearby. Spotted this alarm/blanket control and it just had to come home with me. I can say that I've never seen one of these before and it will work with the electric blanket I have. Love the Penncrest logo!

Started to trim the lawn today with my 20 year old Honda like, I normally would, and it blew it's main oil seal on the bottom of the crankshaft. Not good, but fixable. So now what to do??

I found these at a sale yesterday. Part A12312 approx 5 X 7in. Who among our Hoover experts know what Hoover they fit? Thnaks in advance, Bill

Saw this today at a tag sale. The range was not for sale but had a feature that I had not seen before, a hot water dispenser. This is a gold version of the Frigidaire range that Hans (Norgeway) recently acquired. Please excuse the poor quality pic, only had my cell phone.

Saw this today at an estate auction. Anyone else ever see one? It was in really nice condition. No mold, no odors, very clean. Was not turned on but was stated that it still worked. Didn't stay to see how much it sold for but It looked very heavy! I don't think I would want to have to move it...

Available at a local Goodwill in Canton. $100 Looks to be in pretty good shape, but I didn't plug it in to test. No counter top. Color is off-white. Not sure what Hoover called that. I'm tempted, but I have a model 0519 in harvest gold and little room for more machines. Holding out for...

n Mixin' Found this yesterday. $2.00 Was in Cincinnati and on my way out of town last night stopped at the St. Vincents on Colerain. Of course it had to ride home with me! Apparently was sent from Presto to the buyer in Cincy. Postmarked from Jackson, Mississippi June 14, 1965 for $1.07 in...

Found in the barn at a tag sale, but, alas, no machine to go with it opened and about half full
