I picked up a really neat piece today, a Lufkin METAL folding 48" measurer.
I've seen lots of wood, but never a metal one. ebay didn't have any. It
was a buck. It will look good on my growing wall of old tools.

I went to another, and they had a piece of black pottery. The gal said it
was her grandfather's. It looked like a Maria Ildelfonso piece, and I was
interested. She said take it, as I guess it has some bad juju associated
with it. I also got a really neat leather skin kachina (indian dancer) wall
plaque, also free. Then I saw a mirror with a metal frame around it with
squares of cowboy themed things in each 6 x 6 square. I'm going to cut out
some new things, and put it together for my grandsons for their new cowboy
room.

Total cost, $5. I have contacted medicine man galleries and sent pictures
of the pot, and will advise when I find its value. Some of these go for up
to $10,000, but I'd be happy just to find that it is authentic Maria
Ildelfonso. It will look good in my expanding collection.

Got a pancake compressor on cart, a car buffer to make a billiard ball
polisher, some lab glass for yeast cultures for my beer brewing, and several
dollar and two items. Oh, don't forget a really nice staple puller that has
to go for $4 retail for a quarter.

I got some J trim to complete my carport sides for $11 per 12' piece, and
locally, they wanted $17 per copy "on a deal if I bought ten". Yeah, right.

Las Vegas was full of yard sales, and condo associations and HOA's had them
where there was a yard sale or three on nearly every street. Quality of
goods was medium to medium high.

One small welding/cutting rig, but off brand, and all I need is a small
head, Victor 100, IIRC.

Sounds really fun! I would not know Maria Ildelfonso even if she bit
my ass. But it sounds like something valuable.

Heard back already from a shop in Albuquerque. Looks like it is a Maria
Tafoya, value up to $8k. Needs a little restoration, probably $200. Am
documenting it with other galleries. You gotta keep your eye out at those

I would like a small cutting torch, (Victor) and if there are any gas
welding tips, that would be a plus. I have some holsters, leather, assorted
stuff, but no reloading equipment. I have some other shop stuff that I'm
separating and parting with things I have three of.

Wasn't looking for art, but 20+ years ago, saw three really nice
Japanese watercolors at a yard sale, in a far corner of stuff. Marked $1
each, I bought all three. I'm no art expert, but I knew these were not
modern production prints. Seller was obviously WWII generation. After he
gently places them in a paper sack for me I thank him and turn for my
car. As I start to walk away, he says "Those are worth a lot of money".
I turned back, and he had the saddest look on his face, while his wife
was grinning ear to ear. To this day, I regret not going back and
finding out the story behind this.

They turned out to be pre-WWII Hiroshigi and are worth at least $100
each. Not a major score, but darn decent.

If he doesnt want it...Ill swap you for it. Ive got smaller torches that

Including some very small..cutting/brazing torches

Btw...that torch doesnt use much more gas than a standard 100, when you
use the proper tip for the work. Its just capable of cutting thicker
material when you increase the tip size.

IIRC, what I have now is a 315. Don't know without going out to the
