That would be an interesting TV show concept.

The Commodore 64 might find a home among gamers who play legacy systems. They want old tube TVs too, because old games look really funny on new sets.

As to the vodka bottles, some potato farmers somewhere are sad that they have lost a good customer.

 

Those are sad, but interesting survivals. Some of my family was from the part of Prussia that was really Poland; from the names I wonder if her family was too . The handwriting back then was so much better than mine...not that it would take much!

 

Would this have been like her passport or something she was always required to have on her person?

Is there a market for this type of stuff at your boot sales?

 

Yep. An identify card for internal use.

Internal passport/travel papers.

 

My Grandparents would not buy from anti semitic countries for a long time. They said they would rather go without. It was common practice then, and we know understandable. Kind of like know we cringe if we have to hand anyone our credit card.

 

We had a family friend when I was a teen, who had terminal cancer. Quit his very successful job, and unfortunately became an alcoholic & a hoarder. He lived for close to 5 years, he took his own life to “save” his family from hardships. It created even more for them. Short of breath — My Grandmother used the same term but for a different meaning - it would be to hold your tongue if you have nothing nice to say.

 

And they still do something similar w/ the book when you marry. My son waited for us to arrive so I could fill out his portion before he got married.

 

You can find many on sleds on FB Marketplace, but not near me. I found this one for $30 yesterday, I may add ice skates (I pick them up at yard sales.). Adding battery-operated white lights

 

Oh bother, I’ve now got the book equivalent of an ear worm. A children’s book, where a child gets a refurbished sledge for Christmas, complete with a bow. Arg.

 

I finally got a good yardsale this weekend. Out of season by a month, but there it was. Found other sales too. Nothing too crazy on its own, but...hitting this at the end of November instead of the end of June where it belonged is nuts.

 

It was toooo hot here this summer for yard sales. There are some Christmas church sales coming up, but they are all on the same Saturday in different directions. I have to use strategery.

 

I like this

 

I have the same problem. All of the church sales picked the same DAY. Darnitt. One is doing a sale after services, which are during my services. Of course. Yard sales where I am were nonexistant when it was cool and scatterered an not that hot when it was hot.

 

Also more things you'd rather not smell, doubtless. Buzz must be having a field day investigating Daddy after you get done.
