Cleaned up this pair of '53 Roadmasters... Pretty Pretty! I left the roasted USR Chain whitewalls on as they are probably original equipment.

Hit a killer car show in Pomfret Ct with Zane... Lots of eye candy, good tunes & vibes. Check out the purple trimmed Coronet!

Finished the day up with a nice visit with Rose & Mike K they are always up to something amazing!

Just trying to come up with a good follow up for today... Might just curl up with Kat Cat

No bikes stuff but some cool late 1800s bottles for $10..
AND a dump/recycle bin SAVE/SCORE!!!!!!
I saw this in a pile of recycled books.. pick it up and didnt really look at it, as it FELT fluffy, like a water logged, then dried out book..

It was irrelevant as it was headed for a shredder anyways. But when I got home and opened it, to my pleasant surprise ..It had 2 inside pockets on the covers FULL of documents/papers AND a VERY RARE 1862 Virginia map in excellent condition!!

They are now in the hands of a local historian who actually lives in the original house that some of the documents were signed by!
And the map? Its in a good home 😎

I found a neat item I think might be a antique. I did not get it this last week, but don't think I ever posted it before. I did not want to start a topic and thought this might be the best place to ask a question.

What is it? Is it a wick trimmer? The reason I ask, is when I purchased it the seller asked me if I was into re-upholstery and I wounder if it has a use for that? I then said I thought it was a wick trimmer, and the seller thought it was for upholstery.

I was originally going to sell it, but after showing it to my mother to ask her if she knows what it is. She said she likes it, and wants me to put it on the antique desk in the family owned cabin.

So is it a candle wick trimmer, or a upholstery tool? I think its made out of some sort of pewter type mixture.

My dad gave me this tackle box containing these reels his father had. The small silver Climax bait reel was my great grandfather's (1890s?). The half and half can used to carry weights and homemade whittled bobbers

And the Hobby Lobby in Tupelo had a 40% off sale on models

You need to restore atleast one of the reels, and catch a fish on it. That's exactly how I first got into vintage tackle. I inherited a few reels from my grandfather on my dads side, and took them apart. I got them working again and caught a few fish.

A while back I restored one of my grandfathers rod and reels, and gave it to my father on fathers day, and took him fishing. It was a fun experience for both of us.

I then started seeking new ones out.

About two to three months ago my moms brother moved out of his house, and gave his entire tackle collection to my brother and I. So I now have fishing items from both of my grandfathers. My uncle had three daughters, and none of his six grand children were interested in fishing. (A few of them are even Vegan). So he gave his fishing collection to my brother and I to preserve.

He called my brother up, and said you have been asking about this for years, come get it. My brother picked it up, and being the nice guy he is gave me 1/2.

It was not a expensive collection, but it feels good to hold in your hand and catch a fish on something you know your grandfather was using over 70+ years ago. I never met the grandfather on this side of the family. He passed shortly after I was born, but I still feel a connection to these few items I have that once belonged to him.
