Gjutjärn Charity Bike Show
The other day I found an unused Canon scanner in the garbage... I already have a scanner, but this one had the extra parts for scanning b/w negatives. So today I scanned some old ones. The pics below were taken at Gjutjärn Charity Bike Show in Uppsala, Sweden. I really don´t remember what year this was, but it must have been in 1987 or -88, I think... Some really nice eighties swedish choppers here...

stuff I found...
...laying around...
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
an art deco metal vase

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...

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).
