I have no life. Ever since discovering a "home-based" part time job to make some extra money (EBay - meaning I don't have to get a PT Job that requires me to leave home, my wife, and my kid in the evenings), my wife and I go garage-sale'ing every single weekend. Additionally, I try to make as many auctions (estate and otherwise) within a reasonable distance from my home.
This particular example, though much dirtier when I got it, was in a boxed-lot of "junk" - electrical cords, some miscellaneous dollhouse furniture, bulbs/Xmas lights & ornaments. A box about the size of a case of beer. You'll see me list the dollhouse furniture in the near future, and quite possibly this bulb, too - if I can find out what the heck it is....
It was an estate auction and it was WAAAAAYYYY out in the "boonies" and I was bidding against a bunch of elderly farmers who were more interested in the collectible ERTL tractors than a box of crap.
Finally, Bob >>> if you consider that this country started on the "right" coast, it stands to some measure of reason (perhaps, humorously enough, only in my mind) that I'll find more "neat stuff" here (in the Philadelphia region) that anywhere else. Heck, I live a stone's throw from "The Moland House" which was General George Washington's Headquarters during the Revolutionary War! They STILL find neat artifacts over in that general area, too. Then there is the historic General Wayne Inn... I could go on and on... Just know that the oldest buildings, and likely most of the best "historical" artifacts should be on this side of the country.
Now - what is it? Please?
