Those that know me, know I collect paint.  Found this at my "hoarder" buddy mikes house wrapped in a paper bag.  Great graphics and only .99¢ (at the time).   This one is heading to the paint museum at my wifes store.....Gotta love NOS...

 Sales have been pretty slow past couple of weeks.  Mothers day and some unexpected travels did not help.  Luckily this weekend was not so bad.   Lots of smalls....

Found a nice Panasonic Boom Box, Harley Davidson 2 Cycle Motor Oil Can, some Snap on Stickers (including one that my father has had in his garage for ages, and now I have an unused one)  A neat Lincoln Hood Ornament dealer award.   Also some key chains, pens, and concert memrobilia.  Oh and one can of Glidden custom spray paint from 1960s....gotta love the freebies...

Here is a close up of the Antrax/MTV pass.   A Pipeline Night club from newark NJ flyer, some oil can advertising pens, and a few auto key chains.  Mercedes, Buick (from local dealerhip) valiant and a saab key chain.

Meet Mike...


This is a guy I have been helping out lately.  He is the owner of a house I thougth was being cleared out by the town.  I dumpster dived it for a few days, only to find out they cleared it when he was away in the hospital.   Lots of great items, and 2 houses packed with stuff.  I feel for him as he realizes the mess he has created all these years, but is not physically capable to clear it all.   He has played semi-pro ball, served our country, was a union worker and is a musician....expect to hear more stories from my travels with him....this was picture was taken as we cleared his backyard of scrap a day before the town came and cleared it all for him.  Next project is to work on clearing his house....

...shoulda grabbed this, it ended up in a dumpster....
