FALL UPDATE

Very old stove (sold right away)
This stove was very used in several workshops and hunters cabins. It went to a fine home where someone could admire and maybe even use it.  


70's Banana seat bike (sold)
It's the end of September already. Boy time is flying right into winter. All those tasks we have to do to get ready for it have to be done. One was have a sale and get rid of some of the stuff I had in storage so..off I went to some friends house and we put on a sale. Long days of setting up things and putting on prices..but it got done. The weather, however only co-operated a little. So we sold as much as we could the first day and what was left is going slowly due to rain and cold.The tarps covered the many parts and supplies we had on tables that were covered due to the rain.

Many antiques went very fast, mostly to a lucky person who got there ahead of others.
Most of the items were MAN RELATED tools and sports goods. No wonder we had such a large turn out. These old skillets were really nice in their day..he took them back in the shop and buffed the rust off and all of them sold right away. It was just a little effort to make a great sale item for someone. 
 I think if the rain and wind had not happened we would have sold out everything, as it was some people hate the miserable weather to shop in. Can't blame them a bit!
Old deer camp stove that ran on wood and propane..
lookers many..no takers.

Great pics! Glad you got to sell some stuff---but the weekend is just beginning---so will be interested to see if more things sell. Good luck! Just stay warm and dry!

It isn't easy to shop in the rain for sure but I'm glad you got done what you did. The weather here remains bone dry...I don't ever remember a thing like it. Hope you have a great Sunday my friend.

Wow, look at all those treasures!!! I haven't been to a yard sale in a long time. None the less, I like to check them out occasionally. Sometimes you can find some really cool stuff!

I remember banana seats as what we would "pack" friends with (rider with passenger sitting directly behind). Also, about the same time, we clothes pinned playing cards to the rear wheel frame with the card stuck into the spokes ...in order to get that "motorcycle engine flapping sound". Those were the days.

I'm not surprised that the old stove sold, it's really neat! Good luck with selling everything else. About the bushy tailed squirrel, not all my squirrels look like that. Some have thin tails, I think the abundance of acorns falling this year gives a better indication of the winter to come!

Garage sales are so much work and you just have to hope the right person comes along. Sounds like you had good luck! I love the banana seat bike!
