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.
