Craigslist and Estate Sale finds!

My idea for furniture came from this little beauty for sale In a gift shop- for $1200!!!

Wow, must be some nice pumpkins. $$

Cool idea! Maybe without the pumpkins, though :)
 
Don’t know what the wood is. But I have a couple 2” thick live edge pine planks...plus I have a source for some beautiful Juniper.

I was amazed at the price, but the owner of the shop said it was a good seller. I’d settle for half of that! Who knows- might be a whole new direction for me!
 
Thanks to @rubclt I went up the road a bit today (1.5 hrs) and picked up the remains of a Scrambler build. Very happy with all of it but especially happy with the 4 15x8 chromes. all caps included. clean off the clear and they are very nice.

Got a free useable hardtop for my CJ7 yesterday and a pair of new Trico wiper blades for $2. Got spray paint the hard doors I bought a few years ago for $60.

I need lift struts and the mounting studs for the hatch, any idea on sources?
 
Picked up this completely trashed Eames Rosewood 7ft conference table and the remains of 4 Eames Rosewood chairs out of a barn at a farm estate sale last Sat. Sold them today to a restorer for a 5223% profit.

Last weekend I picked up probably 200 pint glass/mugs for a very cheap price. Gotta figure out how to ship them easliy and get them on ebay or something. Where gut there on day 4 of the sale. Was told guy had about 2000 or so pint glasses/mugs/steins. Beer magazine from 30 years ago.
 
Picked up a couple FSJ center caps, a pair of NOS front FSJ turn signal bezels, and a few other FSJ goodies for the price of a six pack. Then I got a nice chrome grille guard for the 1996 Silverado for $100. Period correct and in good shape. Pics to be added later.
 
20191102_184043.jpgMy haul from an auction today from a closed 144 year old hardware store. Also got some old black powder, lead, and some very heavy silver liquid. The come along is like I have never seen. It is for chain but has no way to release it so I guess you don't tighten the chain if no way to slack it up. I should have bought the other 3 for coolness factory since it was $2 as was the big pipe cutter.

Also picked up a neglected .50 CVA Plainsman blackpowder flintlock last weekend. Looks to have been shot a few times, loaded, and put away loaded. Gotta fix that condition. Figure for the price I paid, its not a big deal if its not pretty when I get it cleaned up. Gotta get some round balls for it since my other flinter is a .54.
