stuff I found...

...laying around...




an art deco metal vase


boxing gloves


an old experimental devise from a school... you´re supposed to put ether in the metal tube and then send electricity to the spark plug and it shoots out the rubber plug!


a fully operational Fein saw, these are really expensive, unfortunately the saw blade are also not exactly cheap...



a WWII german gas mask (you know the nazis invaded Norway in 1940)


two boat laterns



a biker memory stick...



an old microphone (I´m thinking tail light for the Sportster here)


a wooden owl



don´t know what they are called in english, you know what they are, now I can write a novel in metal, (some helpful soul told me they are called punches)


a 2x40watt Roland guitar amp in a nearly unused condition! works like a charm!!!



a really old sewing machine


an old tea box

I´m a sucker for old oil cans


german WWII first aid gauze


folk art letter holder (not much use for that these days... try putting your e-mails in it...)


an old bicycle lamp


a pin-up plate

junk, junk, junk

been busy working... here are some of the latest finds


a crazy sombrero in green and gold... Olé!


vintage mothballs... actually an empty box, but I just love the design


an old vibrator in original package, missing one battery (again great vintage design)


a really nice couple: an empty blue handgranade and a syphon, I like the way they talk to each other


a handcolored photography


an old cartridge box


a beautiful silver and enamel broch, vintage norwegian design


and last, but not least: an absolutely amazing old clock! We´re talking genuine folk-art here. The old lady who was throwing it away told me it was handmade in the mid 1920s by a man who was in love with her grandmother and gave it to her. The clock is in need of some serious fixing, but that will be just fun! I love the details on this one! Just look at the devil with the scythe and the sitting damoiselles on the loose top part...
