Nebraska Farm Finds

Spring break in Nebraska.  Three years in a row now.

 
 There might not be sand, palm trees (or sun)
but this is our preferred spring break destination.

 
 This is the third year that we have purchased vintage
junk from Richard.  This year he convinced his brother to bring stuff.

How would you feel if you pulled up to a scenic farm house,
saw all this great stuff on display and realized that is was
all for your personal shopping pleasure.
(Yes, I went home with everything in this photo.)
Bought claw feet for $20, sold for $60.

Both brothers were pushed around in
this old baby stroller.
It now sits in my Missouri front yard.

It was nice having two men that were able to explain
to me what some of this stuff was.
The three pieces on the right bottom corner are barn
door rollers that are marked 1901.
Paid $30 for the rollers, sold for $152.

 Oh, and here is something else both brothers rode on...
about 70 years ago.
