Flea Market Finds !!!
Scored some goodies over the weekend at a big flea market in Webster Florida...........2 antique fans, now completely restored......I bought them ratty and in desperate need (55 bucks for the pair....One's a GE with aluminum blades, and the other an Emerson Electric with brass...both oscillate).... but they both worked.......Now with nut and bolt restorations and new paint, with a full polish, they look and work great.....Probably quintupled my investment on these..................and for all you CHRISTMAS STORY fans out there, that's the REAL DEAL in the last picture......a 1947 Daisy Red Ryder, all original.....blued finish, aluminum lever, burned logo, and all wood stock and forearm.......NICE shape, and it fires awesome...the seals are incredible. Nailed it for 40 bucks.
