More of Why I Love My Job.........

Back in the house I had started to set up for an estate sale, a couple of weeks later and all refreshed from last weeks sale......I started some serious basement hunting for more treasures........and finally found these.........

 

[vibrabeat]

The man in that lived in this house was a real pack rat.......the box of sweeper parts were amoung all these boxes.....

 

[vibrabeat]

Lo and Behold, HOOVER parts !!!!!

.......that had never been used!!

 

[vibrabeat]

And finally, the HOOVER that went with them........

A Hoover Porta Power........

 

[vibrabeat]

Or so I thought...........

But another set of Hoover attachements showed up, in a homemade wall hanger!!!

 

[vibrabeat]

The owner was a furier for one of the local old time department stores,,,,,,,this was the machine he used to sew furs together to make a coat.......

 

[vibrabeat]

He also had an oldtime Singer Treadle........

 

[vibrabeat]

His very vintage washer and dryer used to reside here........they now have a new home with me and were a very special set.....more of them to come a little later........

 

[vibrabeat]

I found a few things also to add to my collections of stuff......such as this original A&P toy, in the original box......A&P were grocery stores in the NEOhio area. For years they gave out Currier & Ives dishes. A&P stood for Atlantic and Pacific........

More of the toy......

 

[vibrabeat]

I just couldnt resist this..........

 

[vibrabeat]

Ahem......now this is just a little racy, but a real riot!!!!

 

[vibrabeat]

More of the Peter Meter.....

 

[vibrabeat]

Ok, one more.......

 

[vibrabeat]

And before the days of Cracker Barrel,,,,,,
