Probably as rare as finding an actual Firefly / lightning bug in California
Thank you @ John Gailey

My brother Mike and I buy things for each other so while he was at Texas motor Speedway buying me bicycle parts I stepped into an antique store in and picked up this Winchester dealer clock. It works well. Happy Sunday!

It will hang on my shop wall for now. Starting to grow on me…

This taken about 2 decades ago with my Daughter and I. I drove a 1957 NSU 150cc German shaft drive scooter, so badged hers as an NSU too!

Always wanted one of these but not the modern made china crap that daisey is putting out these days. Finding it with almost all of the original box is very unusual, Model number dates it to the days of my very early youth so it is definitely a keeper. You see it just like I found it...not cleaned or wiped off and it shoots just fine. Some wearing on the metal but over all in great shape..

Also added to my train collection with a nice American Flyer set of A/B locos and 4 aluminum coaches.

Also found a practically unused HOs set (from the 70's I believe) of the first jap bullet train.....and it does run.

Seems that every time that I pulled this one out of the pile to put it for sale, my wife sees it and says that she wants it. Finally finished it w/out any irreversible frame modifications. 1949 Rollfast, I believe that this beauty is one of only three known out there. She may look a bit on the prissy side but, she's badass as they come. 48 volt, 750 watt Luna mid drive. 3 spd. Sturmey w/ drum brake. Front disc, had to disable the springer. She likes it.

 

[Nuts and Bolts]

I don't find many things related to two wheel. I got a call Friday night about an estate that will be liquidated and if I'd be interested in taking an early peek. I only bought a few things 2 concrete frogs, Czech Deco glass vase, small hand blow glass vase with pontil, and a tall lamp w/black jade finial. The person collected art glass for 40+ years, glass breaks easily so its not for me.

I forgot also two paintings tempera watercolors.
