TM Traveler jacket, an unlined, cotton sport coat. Way too big for me, but I thought it might be a good thing to wear to work, rather than exposing my tweeds to the dust and grime of the warehouse.

Found the rest of late 20's radio. Vacuum tube is quite rare Philips A441 N

My wife picked up this Kabar Cutlery cabinet for $1.00 at a yard sale. Will look cool on the garage wall...

Too bad it's not in great shape or ...

What a nice find! Your wife must be good at this. My wife and I are garage sale junkies too!

Thanks Ed. We aren't quite a bad as we used to be (lack of storage), but we still have fun with it.

Wife also picked these up. Another paint-by-number for my collection and an older Last Supper with a cool frame. Both a buck or two each.

That's a nice Last Supper, Bob. I love those, they always bring back memories of my childhood and my grandmother. She had them all over the house, along with a couple of Christ in the garden of Gethsemane prints and the obligatory praying hands sculptures and/or plaques in every room. I sure miss her.

Thanks Dale! I used to have one of the lenticular 3-D ones, but my daughter stole it. Similar to this:

Nice! I had a Garden of Gethsemane like that, with the same light up brass frame. It now resides with the ex-wife. Collateral damage.

Love that you collect paint-by-number paintings. I used to do these in my younger days, spent a lot of time in hospital in my childhood and would paint these to pass the time. Happy (maybe not!) memories of picking out paint-by-numbers sets from the craft store and keeping them for my periodical hospital 'vacations'.

Those are great finds, especially the GS pocket knife. I have the same type from my BSA days, only it has brown plastic grips and a BSA emblem. That badge is interesting too, seems to be an Australian Qantas airline employee bowling (the Brit version of grass bowling) club.

I believe that the match tin is also from Australia.

Found a Gary Fisher 24” Mountain bike for my daughter last week. Couldn’t pass it up for the price.

My wife thrifted this (what appears to be a) 1940s era souvenir tablecloth. I found a few in different colors out on the Interwebs, but no indication that is is a reproduction.

I love going to thrift stores in places I visit!
Last week I found two great shirts in Houston.
Does anyone have a good lead in Washington DC ?

BobHufford · Apr 29, 2018

Unloaded a car full of garage sale rejects at the local thrift. Came away with this Odd Fellows platter and a necktie. Seems like a fair trade.

McNicol manufactured china/hotel-ware at this location from 1914 until 1954.
