Found out thrifting today. The Duke did not come home with me…. But I thought he deserved to be shared.

 

[The one from the North]

Something I've wanted to try for a long time. And 1/2 price day. Now this devouteed french press user is learning the art of percolating.

Just picked these up and boy do they need a cleaning. Other than that I need to let them out and hem them up. Even has the matching fabric belt.

We ran across these quilts in a flea market.

The one from the Ozark, Missouri Working Circle (established 1938?) caught my wife’s eye and, as she was checking out the quilters’ names embroidered into each square, she nearly dropped the quilt and just looked at me in shock. Finally I got her to show me what she was seeing.

Golda “Goldie” Hunt (1905 - 1986) was my wife’s Great Aunt!

Of course we bought them both. My wife is giving the “ Goldie” quilt to her cousin as Golda was her grandmother.

Some great old-time first names here (not shown is Lorine Kessenger).

I’m naming my next dog Blanche Deffendefer.

Thanks guys — it was really a surprise and the cousin is excited to have something her Grandmother helped make.

I found a steal at the local flea market yesterday - a famous-model photographic tripod, early 70s vintage but in outstanding condition... for ten dollars. (These go for $80 to $150 on eBay.)

The "Tiltall" is heavy duty aluminum and steel beast, a post-war product that's justly famous. I don't need another tripod, but I couldn't pass it up for ten bucks, because besides its obvious quality/condition, I have a longtime personal interest.

In 1972, when I was getting into Super 8 filmmaking - and was working in my parents photo studio, where we had free subscriptions to all the photo mags - I knew of the Tiltall, which cost around $75 dollars at the time. I didn't have that kind of money, but for my movie camera I ended up getting a $30 "Star-D Pro": a close-copy knockoff of the Tiltall. It was and remains a great tripod... but I knew it wasn't the original of the design.

So now I finally have a Tiltall! The Tiltall's in the front, my trusty Star-D behind.

Just saw this. Brings back bad memories as a 12 yr old.
