This may be fun!

I have an estate sale this weekend that looks interesting. Looks like my kind of "junk". I talked to the guy last week (we have a VERY good working relationship) who will be hosting the sale and he told me the guy collected EVERYTHING and could almost be called a hoarder. It sounds like my kind of place. I'll post SOME of the items here just for shits and grins ... so you can get some idea of what these things are like ... but of course, it's a very limited and partial list. There are a few things that kind of jumped out at me though:

A dozen iron skillets including Griswold and Wagner Ware.

Marlin model 336SC rifle. Cal 35. Rem. Rosewood stock. Beautiful condition. There is also a Derringer, Philadelphia, 110056, black powder. A few boxes of ammo. And two old cap pistols. We are bringing the WW2 sword with the wooden sheath that went up for sale at last weeks sale. Today, we found an old machete with sheath. Two bows. Pocket knives, hunting knives, fillet, vintage hunting and fishing permits.

Just for an idea ... here's SOME of what they will have there: (looks like fun)
