Here it is driving up. We had some rain so tarps were covering things outside but there's some tv's and rotary irons under there I can tell you as well as treadle sewing machines and who knows what.

a little side shot leading to the back 40
What are those things?
getting round the back there's something of interest in the distance
It's that little Hoover automatic washer anyones for $5 to take away.
Closer upper, remember this is apt size not full size, has an impeller wash on the bottom of the tub.
And the backside, not so pretty, but it is automatic, it sez so on front LOL . Btw it was made in Japan for Hoover, very interesting.
More stuff under those lean to's . BBQ anyone
And more
I didn't get pics of the stuff inside, too many people but it's chok a blok full of good stuff all in a semi-organized, barely, jumble, tools, mags and book, glassware, for days.
But I managed to find these two little gems in a cardboard box full of trash under a table. Love the Taylor oven thermometer, it's metal and ceramic and the little radio is nice too.

This wasn't old it just came in from an estate sale but since Border Collies are my favorite dog and I have two how could I resist.
I love places like that!
Wow, this is just the sort of place that I will cut across three lanes of traffic to get to! You just never know what you can find in a place like this. Have you ever been up into the Muskoka lakes area north of Toronto? I have turned up a couple of amazing vintage appliances up at the local used-appliance dealers on the 11 between Bracebridge and Huntsville. Hell, the turquoise Kelvinator range and refrigerator I have came from there! One of these days, I want to take a week off and just wander around the back roads looking for places like this!

And no thrifting foray would be the same if I didn't come home with at least one vacuum cleaner.. I needed this one for parts to fix up a similar red Sanitaire. Or I'll just fix this one up, I don't know yet LOL
He didn't have much for washers other than that Hoover and a few non-descript newer stuff but it's constantly changing as someone dies their lifes accummulations ends up here
Anywho, up the street here is a pic of the old Grand Trunk railway station now the town library

Wow, I wish we had thrift stores of that size over here! Ours tend to be very short of vintage appliances because of mandatory safety tests.
That little Hoover washer is cool - I've never seen one like it from any other part of the world. Were you not tempted by the little fella?
Interesting that Sanitaire is badged as a Euroclean, especially with the European Electrolux logo on it!
Si

Simon, I have the exact same vac in red, except it's a Sanitaire, it's just out of camera range there, then you also find them as Eureka Commercials as well
