Sunday's Show and Tell ...4/24/22

[Nashman]

It was a great time at Oley picking around for four days plus three bicycles found new homes. It was great fun hanging out with Steve @Velocipedist Co. who came East on a mission to find parts for his Pierce single motorcycle. His enthusiasm is contagious! I ended buying two 1909 Pierce four cylinder engines. Anyone have a frame, or a Breeze carburetor? A dream badge came my way so the Regas Spring Frame bicycle project can now be completed. A fabulous set of “Hickory Racer” wheels were also found at Oley. A heap of smalls as well.

EGGSELLENT BRANT!

While thrifting around yesterday, I picked up a Blue Rhino propane mosquito trap at goodwill for 26$, it retails for much more so I figured it was worth a shot. I will bring it down to my wooded area cabin, and see if it helps or has any effect. It would be great if it does, and may help make late night fishing more enjoyable. I'm not going to set expectations high, but will test it out.

If it does not work for my application on a river, maybe I'll flip it and get my money back plus some.

Its the sv3100, and is supposed to cover a acer. Has anyone here tried these type of products?

​

I dropped it off at my retired dads house, and said I have a gift for you that will make our cabin experience more enjoyable, and asked him to try and figure it out. He already downloaded the manual, and watched a few youtube videos.​

Replaced two 60's cast hand water well pumps at a Girl Guide camp. They are Monarch of Canada. Leather draw swabs are dried up. Could repair them but they are probably better as ornaments.

The camp kept their tent pegs in these 3 mortar shell boxes.....cool !

I had the CABE open and accidentally dragged the pics above into my post while editing. Oops....... my computer lack of skills. A couple of toy Cars/ Ebay. Local pickings up here is 99.9% junk and snow storms and rain keep the flea markets dry/no yard sales/antique sales. Factola: There are more people in California than all of Canada. THUS.....Less cool loot. It used to be better before the internet and "pickers' shows. I beat the bushes decades ago, did quite well.

Bike stuff coming next month from Cabers. 4 bikes actually, ( paid for, but need to be shipped yet) but I don't count my chickens before they hatch. My late Dad used that term often. Another Fender guitar in the pipe as well, possible vintage (locally picked by me), MIB local guitar amp as well.

A, manufact. T.N. ( Toy Nomura) 1958 Ford Edsel. It's seen some playtime which is fine/gives character, the rear window frame was cracked/patched with JB weld still needs refinement, but overall, a cool and amazingly complete toy. The 1961/'63/'64 Bandai boxed gold caddy is nice. I have a minty black one with the box as well. Interesting how one box has '64 on the top left corner, the other one does not. Big car at 17" nicely detailed interior. BIG back seat for dates!!

WOW, LOTS of sweet postings this week!! Congrats!

I picked up this 1973 Schwinn Varsity Deluxe off the curb in my neighborhood yesterday. It was a little dirty, but all original and in pretty good condition for a ~50 year old bike. Looks to be barely ridden. No chain stretch and no tire wear on the Schwinn Puff Road Racers. A bit of rust on the chrome fenders and wheels. Gave it a quick wash today. Need to get some OA to see if I can clean up some of the rust. Even the genset and lights still work. Great price too! Free!

I finally received a couple sets of hoops that a friend was striping for me. I do love fresh paint on my rider wheels. Came out beautiful! Now I need to get the black set laced up and back on the road!
