today at the junk yard

a Walther (?) copy cap gun (nice and heavy)


a small vise


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...

Help me!

Can anyone help me identify this drum break hub..? I haven't got a clue where it originally came from, but I would like to know... Anyone?

garbage heart

haven´t been working much at the dump lately, but last week I did... Here´s what I found:

ceramic boobs on stars and stripes... absurd art-piece by canadian born Lenny Goldenberg, now living on Bornholm


nice old record sleeve, "chistmas eve"


queen Victoria commemorative tin


viking ship


and last but not least, a very nice art deco lamp, a bit broken but still very nice

don´t sell your soul

If you happen to be interrested in stuff other than purely the type I´m posting her, you could visit my new blog "don´t sell your soul to buy peanuts for the monkey". It follows the working process that will lead to my next solo-exhibition in Centralgalleriet in Gävle, Sweden. It´s mostly in Swedish, but there are some pretty pictures to look at (and some not so pretty, but the more weird).

Colorod Issue 2, 1981

A rather ugly but kind of charming Honda, "made in Sweden" 1981

Colorod Issue 7, 1978

A couple of pictures from Custom Bike Show, Norrtälje , Sweden, 1978.

And an awsome swingarm shovel.

All bikes customized in Sweden and pictures originally published in the magazine Colorod.



I do not watermark my scans because I think it´s ugly and the pictures aren´t really mine to start with, I just scan them from old mags and publish them. So, feel free to steal and reblog my scans, but please do not put your own watermarks on them, and please remember to tell them where you found them! Thanks!

WHAM!
