New Merchandise / More Progress at the Trading Post

Here are a few photos of some merchandise I have going into the Trading Post this week.

Please forward this blog around to anyone that appreciates, needs and uses salvaged treasures - folks that are designers, photographers, architects, renovators, collectors, dealers, and obsessive compulsives.

I appreciate any feedback or inquiries if you are looking for specific items.

I think have something of interest for everyone - so don't be shy to ask.

I will be posting more photos regularly now that I have the trailers in place and can finally start staging them and unpacking items from storage.

I will post some new pix of the Spartan / Yellowstone and the Tool Tent in their new configuration and cleaned out landscapes - real soon. It kind of still looks like a "construction in progress" zone. But it is.

Here are some quick picks - basic but cool.

Enjoy.

Tool chest with built in cubby shelves.

I have dozens of tool bowes. I like to think that each one has an imagined "story" about the user in the markings and years of wear and tear. Were they a serious craftsman / tradesman or a tinkerer? It fascinates me.

SAL

Taking it on the road.......

A slight change of plans this week.

Saturday the 18th we'll have a vendor space at the
Sullivan County Bicentennial fair and regatta on beautiful Lake Huntington.

This area is deep in history going back to early settlers and the native Indian conflicts as well as commerce and industry that grew along rivers in Colonial America.

Our home base is on the Delaware river facing Pennsylvania.

___________________________________________________________________
TODAY - Go to Lake Huntington just 2 miles down the road.

Look for the TINCAN TRADING POST sign along Rt.52 near the "Our Place" bar.

We'll be bringing some special attic items if they fit in the Jeep.

There's a Victorian Body Basket / or mourning casket. A woven coffin basically.

Also have some beautiful shipping crates with local addresses from mid 1800's and a selection of vintage military books, uniform and bags. A few nice lamps and fixtures, plus a few surprises.

I hope top see you there.

FINDING GREAT STUFF

It always amazes me what's out there.

Yesterday it was a pair of Edison Mazda light bulbs (c. 1920 -30) both in exquisite wire bulb cages. Each wire cage is unique. One bulb still has a label.

And I wasn't even shopping - just stopped by a fellow trader's to say hi!

I had been craving these type bulb cages recently.

I love the combination of hand work and early ready made materials for utilitarian uses.

Nice.
