A picture for Old{just one for his dial up)

got four boxes of screws ,nails ,finish nails,small nuts and bolts,etc,all in jars but not mixed up all same items in each jar ,some were brass screws, 5 dollars for all

all of the jars on the shelf in the farmers workshop 5 dollars,now when I kick off and my wife and daughter have an auction a week later...lol?.... you all can come to the auction and buy some of my (stuff)

Just having them organized is worth it.

Thats what I Thought ,I have lots of mixed up stuff,but when it is all seperated not mixed up it is nice

Just wanted to know how long you had to process those? Do you use a pressure canner or water bath?

Im not gonna put them on the same shelf as the relish....lol

OK. But they'll have to throw in some of the relish too.

I have thought for years that we need to mark our auction "finds". You know the box of goodies that you buy and then take home and leave in the same box. Then you have an auction and they get sold again. LOL We need a goodie box registration so we can track these "valuable" treasures. LOL I bet some things get sold several times that way.

Good find!!! All the hardware will come in handy on your projects.

I love the junk boxes. Gotten many of them that had that one special thing in the bottom like the one I payed $13 for that had a JD 2 cylinder carb in it worth 10 times that

I never pay that much. I bought a metal cabinet with 3 rows of about 10 drawers that are 3x4x12 and each is full to the top. Payed $35 for it. Had to remove the drawers to be able to get it into the truck.

Last weekend our fire department hosted a "garage sale" for the local FFA chapter. Typical sale with donated items, many from other garage sales, etc. This was a little different in that one of the pawn shops in town had gone out of business. The building was rented and the owners donated everything that the pawn shop left in the building. I spent about $40 all told and got:

Two tool boxes that had evidently belonged to a plumber, one full of nothing but brass faucet seats, weighed about 20 pounds. The other was full of mostly copper fittings, three one pound rolls of solder, assorted tools. It weighed more like 60 pounds.

An all wooden stool, adjustable from barstool height to chair height. nice and sturdy too.

Some zipper bags from banks that had been closed for fifty years, all like new.

And a SentrySafe that measures about 2 ft by 2 ft by 2 ft. Weighs about 100 pounds. It's one of those that has an electronic combination and a barrel key to open it up. Didn't get either with it and it's locked up.

The way I figure, I can peddle the brass, keep the copper and other things, use the stool, and I have already gotten touch with a locksmith friend who can contact the company and get the default combo and the key. They will do that with a documented bill of sale or other evidence I'm not a crook. Since it was at a pawn shop, it's likely it was stolen, so if that turns out to be true I'll do the right thing and turn it in. Otherwise, I'll use it for something or sell it. Ought to be worth a hundred or so anyway. It's possible there is stuff inside it, it's too heavy to shake it and tell. Doubtful though.

All in all, not bad. I was told I missed out on more tool boxes full of stuff but that's OK.
