Status: offline 		Thanks for the Info on the heaters, I had forgotten all about those type of heaters from my childhood cyberdigger. I sure would not have figured the green thing for a heater and I was afraid to plug it in but it makes sense. Thanks capsoda. I guess value is nill.

This that burst into flames like are like cats who lay to close, curtains and dress hems. Things that you would worry about getting burned are like tiny fingers and things that they might put on it that would burst into flames, again like cats. They are very neat finds to put on display.

      Another veiw. Anybody have any thoughts on this or any of the other things, I would be curious to hear.





Cane top handle. I remember those from the 50s & 60s. A carnival item. Yours could be much older just saying that I remember them when I was a kid.

Status: offline 		Most of this stuff is junk, but its all of the slightly interesting stuff I've dug or found in an old shed that was not a bottle. There's an old plaque to an early 1920's radiola radio, an extremely cheap plastic tooth brush with the comb to match, a 1950's christmas tree light, a scary as hell minnie mouse disposible tooth pick holder, and a Ford Model T hub cap. The green thing is, what I belive, is a novelty toilet seat. Its embossed with a man sitting down on something with the words "The Thinker" under it. I found the band-aids on the floor of an old shed. When I picked it up, I heard some items inside of it. My first impression was "Coins!" (I was big into coin collecting before I got into bottles), but when I poured out the contents, there were six wooden red dice.
