I know I posted these earlier this week, but I am so excited to get them. Got them 10 miles from my house! (Plus I think I did VERY well with the price.)

I can't get to my boat right now we had major flooding and dams and bridges breaking and collapsing.. but I did pick up a few items for the restoration of my Ex-Detroit Police Boat this week.. I bought a rare 1947 Perko "Siro-Lite" combination navigation light/siren.. and another Perko "Sea-Mite" siren and a set of vintage Police lights .. I'm not sure which siren I will use.. Probably the Sea-Mite..

My dad tought me how to repair bikes as a kid, I think I got started in the late 1980s. He also got me interested in vintage and antique bikes.
Since long before I was born, he would repair and sell used bikes. Many came from the trash, or coworkers, even from people on his mail route. Anything that was repairable would get fixed and sold in the front yard. Anything beyond repair would get parted out and save the parts for fixing other bikes. Rarely did we have to buy any parts because he usually had what we needed.

He decided this past week that he won't be using any of this, and gave me the remaining parts he still had in his garage.

Literally more than a lifetime supply of axle nuts. Still have a bunch that he's given me over the years, but he gave me the rest. The ones in the bucket fit ND model D, need to figure out what front hubs the nuts in the box fit.

Elgin Redbird Jr tricycle, he bought from a guy named Carl on his mail route in the mid to late 80s. Carl got it new when he was a kid. It's been hanging on the wall in my dad's garage for as long as I can remember.

And a bicycle tool kit. He acquired this from a guy he bought a bike from in the 80s. The guy had worked as a bicycle repairman on Belle Isle when he was 18 or 19, around 1945. Still in great condition. No markings that I could see on the box or the tools except for the ND disc tool that was included but not actually part of the kit.
