Royal Spartanette Travel Trailer - For Sale

 
 Circa 1952 - Aircraft quality Aluminum and Birch. Built by Hughes Aircraft to highest standards.
 Exterior is in excellent condition. Needs polishing. No dents or creases. All original windows, doors.
 Ready for restoration. Needs some TLC. Interior is in great shape overall. Original birch cabinets.
Kitchen has large banquette seating, original DIXIE stove and sink. Three piece bathroom.

Though most folks think Airstream sets the standard of luxe in travel trailers. I've always preferred the more pedestrian rigs. I bought this Spartan many years ago and never fulfilled my plans to restore it fully. It was usable "as is" and I started my business in here - hence Tin Can Trading Post. 

Now I am ready to find a new owner and home for this incredible trailer.
It currently sits in a lovely field by my house in Cochecton NY. 
Located just over 100 miles from NYC - and easily transported by a towing service. 

For Sale - $5000.

Cold August too !

It was 50 degrees this morning and chilly now. I need a warm sweaty night.

With the rain and cool weather - this has been a rough summer.It is still super pretty up here - but foggy mornings and wet wet weekends loose their charm after a while.


So I guess a wrought iron fire pit with a Mexican type tile surround makes perfect sense, even in mid-summer. This is the perfect size for a terrace or city yard. Cozy up and warm your toes on fall evenings. Or in August of you live upstate. 



Wood Pallets. I have been finding lots of nice industrial pieces. Most are too heavy for me to manage and I have watched real beauties end up sold for scrap. I got a few nice ones lately - wood  and steel mostly. Some witrh wheels others just the wood. Most are on the small scale making them usable for the average apartment or house. The one pictured is 3 thick wood slabs bolted with heavy iron. No wheels. Just waiting for some legs to make a great table. Approx. 26" X 50" X 4".
