<p>[QUOTE="Vintage Vamp, post: 57055, member: 589"]I have not viewed this entire thread, but like many of the treasures you all have found. Here are several I've gathered. Elsie the Cow holds a special place in my heart. Between the ages of 4 or 5 years old, I saw a billboard of Elsie the Cow. I thought she was so pretty with her friendly smile and daisy necklace. I looked up at my mother and said, You look like her! I meant it as a compliment but mom took it as my saying she looked like a cow. She laughed and lightly smacked me on the top of my head. It needs repair as you can see, and I have filled in areas but have not finished the work, I will eventually airbrush her when I feel like dragging out my equipment. She was purchased for $1.00.</p><p><br /></p><p>The machinist box was found near Gatlinburg, Tn. It is used to store my 'rice writing' supplies in. Men are drawn to it and usually have questions and several have offered to buy it, cost me $15.00. The Kenmore mixer was found at a local antique store for $7.50, and it still works. The little car bank is a promotional item for Barnett First, Jacksonville, Fl.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm amazed at the items you all have found![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
