How 'bout this little Sharps Pepperbox?

They're describing this as a "hoarder sale" and so far have 230 pictures posted. Here are a few pieces of cast iron I spotted. In the first pic (lower left of the pic) I spotted this Dutch Oven and a roaster. If those are Griswolds, the DO is super cool, but I've only seen two of those roasters in my life. One sold on eBay just YESTERDAY for $650.00! Pic #2 is another DO I spotted. ;)

I don't see any decent fishing stuff ... but from experience, these pics could indicate that with a bit of elbow grease, some good stuff might be found buried someplace.

I do believe I spy an old Johnson Century reel. that might be worth something to somebody from a nostalgia point of view. Lots of folks cut their teeth on those old reels.
We were zebco people.

No clue on the Garand P-hole. I'll have to go to the sale to find out.

I had the Century reel my dad and I bought for my grandfather back when I was about 10 years old. It was in excellent condition, but still had the old, original grease in it and needed a good cleaning. I sent it to Cappy and he went through it. I'm still waiting for him to catch a fish with it. ;)

I'm not sure which one you're looking at as mine was green. (I guess you could call it my "Little Green Johnson"). :D

Kind of looked like that green monster on the right side of the photo. I believe made a spincast/spinnng reel type combination but I may be all wet. As per usual.

Looks like he collected ladies guns. Those pepper pots must've required courage for the shooter as well as the shootee.

That pepper box reminds me of that gadget iron man had on his wrist in The Avengers

Find the tackle box and you might find your hidden treasure...

Yeah Sky, I saw a bunch of 'em, but really couldn't tell if they were tackle boxes or tool boxes. None of 'em had the lid opened. :(

Glad I'm not close. I'd be broke.
Those would have to come home with me.
I also spy two Cardinal 4 reels that would relocate to NC if I was there.

But are you sure they were Bluegills? They could have been some kinda Redeared, green-lipped MF'er... ;)
