Estate Sale Items

Jimmy - you've hit the Jackpot!

Those are some great finds at the sale - holy cow! The Zenith looks beautiful, and I would imagine would work great after a re-cap. It is a funny thing about old ladies and estate sales, I always found an abundance of Hoover vac's as well. I guess they are as adicting as Lay's Potato Chips, "you can't have just one." And those model cars! Looks like there were a lot of Fords, but that Poncho looks fantastic! They look a little big for the dealer promo models, but unless I'm there, it would be hard to see. Don't forget to grab the Cadillac wire wheel covers that are in the paper bag too =). Did she have any cars /appliances out in the garage? That is where Cory *SCORED* last year...

Looks like fun!

So many Hoovers...

Hey Jimmy, great finds, especially that '57 Frigidaire!
Given your proximity to the main Hoover Factory, the woman or someone close to her could have worked for Hoover, thats the reason for so many cleaners.

Jeff, that green hooded convertible with the replacement bag; is that a model 36?

A friend had a smaller steam engine. We were using wooden matches dipped in oil for fuel and managed to ruin it.

Can you show us the kitchen, please?

Scott...

The green hooded Convertible is a 593, 1971-73. The pink one is a 67, one of the more rare models from the early 60's.
That plastic-y Decade 80 looking model is rare too.
This lady had LOTS of treasures in her house for sure!

I see a 62 Chevy Impala, and a Thunderbird in that box of model cars. That outboard motor ought to fetch some good money too! What a goldmine of neat antique stuff there. That television looks like a TOL model there! I have a BOL Zenith from the same era and those were in metal cabinets.
