Blue enamel bed pan and a gun holster

My personal favorite...a box of rocks.
I come by my love of rocks naturally.
Wall art from cut metal cans, wire and a button
Cast iron, copper and the politically incorrect

A tiny hand carved cage for something

Who the heck is this??

Interesting selection of items! Old portraits are always interesting...we have a few of our ancestors; they look so stern!
A fascinating collection, had fun looking at all your photos.
That is one angry dude in the painting.
Cowboys and astronauts? Maybe they were anticipating Cowboys and Aliens?
The guy in the picture looks like he could be a young Albert Einstein with that hair! Fun to find these old treasures.
Oh my gosh....I would be going nutz. Well I am but more nutz. These are bonafide, gold plated, wonderfilled finds if I ever saw any. The tin can art, rocks and cage have me having palpitations......how fabulous. I am so jelly of you. You are so lucky ducky to be able to search through "relics". Wow, have fun for me too my friend, Linda
What wonderful treasures! I think they are fantastic. You have found a treasure trove.
I saw today on a website that the stove in that house, runs between 2,000 to 10,000 depending on if it works. Isn't that incredible? Have a wonderful time walking down memory lane. It hurts a bit doesn't it?
pretty darn cool stuff. love the box of rocks, too. :)
Great stuff! Love the potty chair. :) And really...the washboard can be cleaned up and will be perfect - love those. blessings, marlene
There was a time in my life when that potty chair would have come in handy! And it may again…
;)
Nice treasures, my favorite are the rocks.
I love that washboard. We have one in the family, too.
Great and memorable treasures to pass on...if the creeks don't rise...LOL!...:)JP
Gail,
Bulldog Man looked at the picture of the man, he states it looks like Harry Houdini.
What wonderful treasures! Intrigued by the little wooden cage. Maybe it held a pet chicken or dinner at one time. The photo of that man...a tad creepy!
I would say the classic photo is Ludwig Van Beethoven. I am quite sure it is him. He carried on composing and his music was all that more amazing because he wrote so much of it when he was almost or totally deaf. At the end of the premiere of the Ninth Symphony, he had to be turned around to see the ovation he could not hear. You would have enjoyed his love for long walks in the woods. His woodland hikes inspired some of his most famous work.You probably remember "Walter Murphy and the Big Apple Band had a No.1 hit with "A fifth of Beethoven in 1976, turning the opening of Beethoven's Fifth into eventually "Fever" music when the track was used in Saturday Night Fever. How about that and I love all your treasures. lol to family n hugz to Marcy.
Interest stuff.
Have you seen those chairs with a pot of flowers sunk in the seat? More garden art.......
That is a bunch of impressive looking "stuff"! I was going to guess a President in the photo:)
