Part of my birthday present, was a trip down to Springfield, OH area.....to the Heart of Ohio Antique Center....soooo, in no sort of order, here are a few sights I managed to get pictures of.....and away we go ( I spent over 3 hours wandering around..BTW)

Yes, that says $500!   and if one isn't enough..

These two were sitting on the same table....

I think this was where I started at...was hard to keep track..

Back in a corner...was something hiding on the floor..

Then looking up a bit..

There was a pegboard wall I remember...too

Then found a stall with a glass case ( bad sign, anything IN a case costs more)

More than one case, though..

and...

And...

And...

and...

Yes, that tag says $95....

So..what DID I buy?    Well, there was 2 jack planes I looked at....one was a Fulton, with a broken handle for $45, or the same size and maker for $40

Except this was a Sargent #414c, V.B.M.

Then, there was a Stanley No. 4 from WW2 era (Type 17) for $15..

Then there was a few odds and ends...

The brace is a M-F #1950 Buck Rogers.  The red handled push drill is a #170, with 3 bits in the handle.  And a couple chisels...$98.03 counting tax for 6 items. 

I turned down a Stanley #3...as they wanted $70 for it...yikes!  

 

Walked around with a cane, and a mask.  Was worn out by the time I got to the checkout line.   Was a busy afternoon...

 

Judging by the prices, looks like they must have covered the gold with rust and dirt on some of those items.

 

Saw this on Craig's List today-

 

Not sure how much gold is in it.

Man! Keep your hands on the wallet. Somebody is getting robbed.

I was at Peachtree Woodworking, got this far into the store and came to dead stop.  They had to call for a clean up on isle 3, drool everywhere.

Never been in their Atlanta store but, would love to. Have done a bit of business with them, though. Very nice people.

Oh yeah.  Hours of operation are 8-4  kinda kills a trip after work at 6.  I think they do it on purpose.  See this way I have to come up early on my day off.  Trapping me in the store for hours.

Are they still hosting that woodworking club in the back? That club's You Tube videos are great.

They'd have to call 911 for me because of the stroke I'd have looking at the prices.

...I like mine better! 

My son has a Wilton like that. He found it in a scrap yard. Paid the scrap price..by the lb. 

Mine was given to me by one of my best friends widow.

I don't think it was ever used, but sat in a leaky garage.
