THRIFT STORE FINDS CONTINUED....

I STAYED UP IN UPSTATE NY FOR THE WHOLE

WEEK SO THE NEXT DAY I WENT BACK TO THE ANTIQUE/THRIFT STORE.

I WANTED TO TAKE A LITTLE MORE TIME AND

LOOK THROUGH THE LITTLE SHOPS AGAIN.AND

IM GLAD I DID BECAUSE I FOUND..

UNDERWOOD THE TYPEWRITER

I HAD TO HAVE THIS TYPEWRITER,

MY FRIEND THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY. THIS

TYPEWRITER WEIGHED ABOUT 20LBS AND

I BELIEVE ITS FROM THE EARLY 1900'S

I TOOK THE TYPEWRITER BACK TO MY

MOMS HOUSE AS THIS IS WHERE I WAS STAYING

AND WANTED TO CLEAN IT UP.

MY NEPHEW DILLON WAS THERE

AND HE LOVED THE TYPEWRITER

HE WANTED TO BE IN CHARGE OF

CLEANING IT.

HE WOKE ME UP THE NEXT DAY AND

SAID HE WAS WAITING FOR ME TO GET

UP SO HE COULD PLAY WITH UNDERWOOD.

HE DID A GREAT JOB

I THOUGHT THE WHITE ON THE KEYS HAD

WORN OFF BUT DILLON SCRUBBED EACH ONE

WITH A TOOTH BRUSH AND SHAZAM....

before the clean up-

I WISH YOU COULD HAVE SEEN THE GUNK AND

DIRT ON IT I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN

MORE BEFORE PICTURES.

WE USED WD40 ON THE INSIDE MECHANICS 

AND CLEANED IT OUT AS IT HAD

LITTLE LEAVES INSIDE. ITS MISSING

A FEW KEYS WHICH I WILL LOOK FOR ON EBAY.

AFTER THE CLEANUP-

DILLON WANTED ME TO LEAVE THE

TYPEWRITER WITH HIM AND HE TOLD

ME HE WOULD HAVE IT FINISHED

BY THE TIME I CAME UP AGAIN...

I TOLD HIM I WOULD BRING IT BACK UP

NEXT TIME I VISITED. HES SO CUTE

PRICE OF THE TYPEWRITTER $10

THE TIME I GOT TO SPEND RESTORING IT

WITH MY NEPHEW...

PRICELESS

THANK YOU FOR YOU HELP DILLON

I LOVE YOU...

ANOTHER CUTE LITTLE ITEM I BROUGHT

HOME WITH ME IS THIS OLD

HORSE SHOE.

 I SAW A FEW THINGS THERE THAT WERE NICE BUT I DIDNT BUY

JUST WANTED TO SHARE THE PICTURES

I CAME SO CLOSE TO BUYING THIS BUT THE DRAWERS WERE NOT COMPLETE DRAWERS I THINK I MIGHT OF BEEN USED FOR HOLDING MAPS?

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS WAS USED FOR...

SO IM BACK IN NJ

BUT IM SURE I WILL BE PAYING THIS

LITTLE SHOP A VISIT NEXT TIME IM IN THE AREA

THIS IS A SHOT OF THE COUNTRY ROAD

I DROVE DOWN TO GET TO THE SHOPPE

COUNTRY LIVIN....

HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE POST
