Brass chandelier. It is wired, but we’ll probably hang it on the barn/shop porch and use candles. The seller bought it from a (now closed) antique store years ago and that store owner had brought it from France. The dang thing weighs 40 pounds. $1.00 per pound.

The arms raise up and have enough play to get the end under the shelf to hold them horizontal.

Cool finds, Bob, and very practical. I really like the swiveling coat hooks. I can see how that would be very handy.

Great finds, fellas.

Garage sales are happening
every weekend now. I see the signs, I drive by slowly, give it a glance, determine if there’s enough there to bother parking the car. Alas, there rarely is.

I’m thinking that these days the pickings might be better in the smaller settlements.
 
A hat, a knife and a couple of shirts.

Wanted to go to Mr. Elmore's Menswear going-out-of-business sale (sadly) and stopped by a thrift store on the way.

Found a Stetson 3X Open Road for $40. Not my size and one small moth nip under the brim at the sweatband, but I can surely flip it.

My wife came up with the Wüsthof 10" knife for 75-cents.

I did find a couple of shirts at Elmore's Men's and Boy's Wear in Houston, Missouri. 50% off.

Stopped by an estate sale the other day and picked up this 3 volume set of the Collected Works of William Shakespeare.

“I have very poor and unhappy brains for drinking. I could well wish courtesy would invent some other custom of entertainment”
Othello: Act 2, Scene 3

One for those of a less boozy persuasion; why does socialising so often revolve around alcohol? This is Cassio’s question to Iago, who is indeed trying to get him to drink – and while on duty, no less.

Was able to finagle this from an antiques store at a reduced price. It is in really good shape except for some wear on edge leather at the bottom where it get stood up.

also got some silver glasses that actually will fit my face.

Thrift store last couple of days.
Does anyone know what era the camo jacket might be from?
Also the Levi jacket has a blank tab but this should be a big E ??

Gotta love a garage sale priced by a little old lady. 46 vintage country and bluegrass albums (including the rack) for $5.00, 9 hand-embroidered tea towels for $2.00 and a set of onyx candle holders for $1.00.
