Hi all. Just another day in the life. We went to a few sales today...a good way spend some of our remaining time. The best sale was an estate sale of a guy who had been a wood-shop and drafting teacher. He was also said to have worked on old clocks. There were a lot of tools at the sale and some collections of junk you would find in an old man's garage. I've bought boxes of miscellaneous stuff at others sales and enjoyed sorting through to see what was there and if anything was interesting or of value. The best item may have been a Yankee screw driver. My father had one and I used it a lot as A youth. There were a couple of small punches one of which was ground down by the deceased and for some reason I feel these were special to him.
I now need to integrate these tools into my collection. I may have one of the greatest collections of screw-drivers in Genesee County. Well, it was fun looking through all the items. The family of the deceased were a nice group of people.
One of the best things about going to estate sales is learning about the people involved. Figuring out who is who in the family. Seeing how someone lived their life. Kind of creepy, maybe. But, I do have a minor in Sociology.
Later...Ken.
