Here are a few of the items I picked over the past few weeks while out rummaging the country side. I picked these two Dietz lanterns up at different places and times but thought they were both pretty nice. The one on the right has a red lens and around the bottom of the base says, Property of Detroit Edison Co. The Red one has a Copper Base and is stamped "Fire Dept" around the base. The red Fire Department lantern is circa 1914. I haven't researched the date on the Detroit Edison yet. Oh and both had nice size Wasp nest in them. I also picked up this neat little hand made hatchet/hammer. It appears to have hand forged. It is only about 8 to 10" long. I just liked it and the price was right. I ran across two Stanley No. 25 angle gauges. One is an earlier SW logo that would be early 1920's. It is the small on which is 6". The other is a later when Stanley went to the boxed in logo that is still in use today. It too is a No. 25 and is an 8" model. I had never seen one made just like this and it could be modified but I really liked this Keen Kutter Hatchet. And when I found them there was this really nice shadow box with four original Keen Kutter Price tags displayed. And last but not the least of the finds was this Yankee Awe. It is in nice condition. It simply amazes me at the things you can find when you are just out looking around. I guess I better start on that bigger cabinet or rearrange a few things to better display some of the findings. There will be more, I haven't shared it all with you yet. But until then, I will still be out busy when I can doing some Patriot Picking!
