If there are knife makers in the house, I have acquired a few old buzz saw blades, probably 3' and a couple that are 4-5' across. I also have worked out a deal for some ferrier rasps.
I have a decent inventory of old industrial lights, barn pulleys, and trolleys with track. |

I have some barn door track and I think I still have some rollers left. I also have several trolleys and several feet of barn trolley track. Yesterday I accidentally brought home a 66 International half ton truck that is in really good shape for its age. Friday I made a deal to ship old horse hoof raps to a knife maker and I'm trading custom knives for them. I think the most unique thing I've acquired this winter is an old Japanese hibachi. It is fairly ornate with carved handles and the copper box is in great shape. I've done a lot of digging but haven't pinned down a value on it yet. I cut some nice cast iron wheels off of an old safe that I'm going to build into a railroad cart style table. That should turn some coins. I'll probably use barn boards if I have enough left after another project. |

I had spoken for it sight unseen, but I was trying to buy the motor. The old fellow didn't want to sell it and had apparently tip unread down a lot of people. When I saw what I had bought, I kept it straight but was pretty thrilled. I know I got s bargain, whether I decide to fix it or trade it. |

Are they old? Some of them are worth serious bucks in the package. Need to be from early 70's

The cars set was worth about a hundred by itself but it's being played with as we speak. The cars alone are 94 cents a piece. And every track is still sold for at least $20 several for more. |

Oh and I started out to try to find one specific cars figure on craigslist. Found a couple collections people were trying to punt. Offered about a tenth of asking and bought everything.

I'm really big into old signs. I mainly collect, but sell some from time to time.

The top comes off and there is a copper lined box about 1'-18" deep.

Its probably Showa in origin although it could conceivably be Meiji in origin.
