Thanks to in-laws that never throw anything away, I have a picture (film) of our son in one of these little scooters a few summers ago. Just classic!

I just brought the Webcor home today (was in storage). The Sirius receiver looks strangely out of place.

Circa 1962 Webcor Moderne, tube amp, sounds great. I have the manual and the demo record that it came with.
Pay no attention to the furry animal in the photo.

The emblem has a pilot lamp behind it.

Just remember, some people thing we're nuts:
**Broken Link(s) Removed**I know an elderly woman who has a 1950's International Harvester refrigerator in her cellar. I'd try to buy it from her but she is a little nuts and I don't want to deal with it.

We have a few Nazi daggers my Father-In-Law took off the body of a dead German in Belgium during WWII. Did a little research on them & they are some kind of sporting event trophys I think.

Too bad you weren't around 2 years ago, my grandmother replaced her old electric stove that had to be 50 years old. Thing looked brand new and all the stuff worked including the timer, clock etc. It had those elements that were like 4X the size they are now. I think the element in the oven went and it was pretty expensive so she just got a new one. I believe she gave it away.

Hey Wood-n-coal, nice Paymaster! I got mine years ago and write all my checks with it. The ink rollers are worn though, it doesn't really put much ink on the check. Nobody's gonna "lift" my checks!
I tried to get Paymaster to sell me new ink rollers, they were reluctant to do so. They said they would refurbish the machine for $125, that was a few years ago.

I remember our milkbox like that one and Freihoffer's delivery truck!

Cool streetlights from europa. I grew up in Albany, NY, streetlights illuminated our summertime games of hide n seek, always loved streetlights.

This is an old thread! I wonder who Devil505 is annoying these days

I have an odd collection of invisable fence, electric and barb wire type. I will bet no one has ever seen another one like mine. I will post some pictures if I can find it.

:bag:

I like that Paymaster, Dan.
This flurry of photos is the result of spending the afternoon cleaning this room, which happens about once every 5 years. I now realize that this project may take a few weekends to complete.
