@Seul that’s a nice score!

Horse expo consignment shop find today.
Durango pack boots barely worn
Welted Vibram soles with very little wear. Not sure about the kilties but I may buck up and try them in the saddle.Well spent $40
-
@jordanscollected these are stunning, unbelievable score.
-
@Seul you’re on fire. I havent found a decent score in years but last time it was a really cool primitive milking stool. Flipped it and made some quick cash off it.
-
I think it’s fair to post flea market scores in here, right? I don’t know why but I’ve wanted a type writer for years now Well at my local flea market here in PDX I picked this gem up for $15 and took it for a quick tune up+ribbon (further $20). It feels nice, sounds great and we’ll see if I use it as intended.

@Inorganic you should start a pen pals thread and get a mail correspondence going. That thing is sweet!
-
@Inorganic is it bad form to ask which flea market you go to?
I'm always looking for new spots to check out in the Portland area -
@Mizmazzle ha! I am going to type a letter to my parents and see how much of a pain that is. I haven’t had a pen pal since the 90’s. Is that still a thing anymore? It would be cool for my son to try that.

@GraemeE no problem at all. I go to the Eagles market every Sunday pretty much. Have been going for over a decade now (even found a $30 pair of wesco’s 6yrs ago!!) It’s in a sad state now vs it’s glory days (ie lots of stolen stuff & a reflection of Portland’s woes as of late) but there are a few gems to be found from time to time. It’s from ~7a-1pm, Sundays @N Lombard & N Exeter up in St Johns. Come thru & let me know when you do if you wanna check it out - or let me know what you score!
-
@GraemeE for the sake of posterity to remember when the Eagles was at its most special. I picked up this Jacob sheep skull there a few years back. Clean it up, drilled it out, welded up a holder and it now watches over my home office ( & prolly was the catalyst for a few nightmares for my son!)
