Thrift Store Scores

Picked up these 2 old Sake bags today to use for patching material.

I think I'll use the indigo one for that but the other one seems too cool to hack apart for fabric scraps

[GraemeE]

Also this US blanket lined T-3 (early 80s?) for my oldest daughter - she will either be the coolest or least cool kid in middle school when she starts next month

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE good scores. Did you pick these up at your local spot you also seem to score good records from?

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic these finds were from the coast.

We spent a couple days out in Nehalem this weekend.

Record hunting out there wasn't fruitful unfortunately

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE ah very good. I’ve had great luck at the coast too. I’ve also found that the liquor stores at the coast have a great selection of bourbons (Eagle rare, Blantons etc) that often sell out in PDX

These past few months I've been doing the occasional fleamarket here and there. These are 3 items I was able to pickup to boost the aesthetic of my home.

Viewmaster Model E 1950's made in Belgium in bakelite (bonus points if you spot the movie) - 6€

Kitty Cat Clock from the 1980's - 7€

Columbus moon globe - unknown (guessing 90's) - 7€
This thing is super cool, it has the locations of all the moon missions marked and on the inside there is a plastic half dome that prevents 50% of the globe from lighting up, so you get a real 'dark side of the moon' effect. Great for my bedsite table

@Inorganic Love that 80!

[Inorganic]

@scarfmace some serious scores here. I’ve been looking for a Kit Cat clock for sometime now and you got yourself a great one. Also that globe is rad. Where are these fantastic flea markets of yours?

[Inorganic]

@indigostiff thanks! Sounds like you have great taste

[indigostiff]

@Inorganic My vintage is a 60, 62, FJ-80, FZJ80x2 and currently a 200... that 5.7 is gold.

[Inorganic]

@indigostiff holy shit!! You’ve been through just about all of ‘em. I’ve had this 80 (96 3xlocked) for maybe 4 years now. It’s been a blast

[indigostiff]

@Inorganic Yes - I loved my 80s - and locked is great! Remember to service your birfields every 60-70K miles... and the PHH too...

[scarfmace]

@Inorganic I got the Kit Cat from a shop that was alongside a road in France when I was there on holiday last month, basicly a hanger filled with junk and this little gem.

The rest are from garage sales in Belgium, almost every town has one of these per year, especialy during summer and if you go to the south part (the Ardennes).

[Inorganic]

@indigostiff just got the birfs rebuilt - i was tempted to do the work myself but decided to leave it to the professionals

[Inorganic]

Some good thrifting this weekend in Sisters, OR.
This hunting jacket is a beauty ($4!) - thinking about trying to dye it…but the obscene orange may grow on me. My son (11) picked up these gloves to start a mini fight club with his buddies. They’ve been having insane battle royales since…

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic that album looks interesting....

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE I have yet to listen to it - I was intrigued by the cover and what looks to be an oud. I’ll report back what I find out

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic said in Thrift Store Scores:

I’ll report back what I find out

Please do

[GraemeE]

My oldest has been pining for a leather biker jacket (probably a mix of us bombarding her with glam rock from an early age and the fashion of current popstars) and I think I found a suitable candidate today

[Danimal506]

@GraemeE Killer find!
