O.K. Well it's time to take a fun walk into Antique exploration and check out the huge Antique experience! Join Bill and I on the ride to the Farmington River in historic Canton, Ct. I'm certain that you all have tasted the fun of searching for just the right treasure! Or, maybe you have family heirlooms to share with us. I'll be excited to see what you can come up with on your own!
Good start JJ thanks for the challenge.
I have just a few that will qualify as possibilities for your road show. When we helped my Dad prepare for an estate sale some years ago, I happened on wooden case about the size of those old shipping trunks. I remember seeing it in my childhood in Grandpa Hammer’s garage. It turned out to be an old tool box that belong to my grandfather and his father before him. Inside were some old tools that include the large block plane and draw knife. I also found the other block plane in the garage that had belong to my Grandma’s dad, my great grandpa Holland. These were the only things I saved, and now they’re taking up space in my garage. Although I have used the draw knife.

I have just a few. A town not far from us is known for its antiques. However, many New ENgland dealers are going out of business as the younger generation, as a rule, isn't interested in antiques.

I put together a little collection to be antiques. They are just fun pics of things I like.
This is a huge steam engine now at our local museum. I remember it when it powered the huge band saws that cut slabs off loge. This is the first step in the "saw mill" for producing lumber.
I have the moccasins are framed along with some arrow heads collected near the mouth of the Spokane river. The moccasins are about 110 years old and arrow heads could be 200 to 2000 years old.
This hand held calculator was one of the first produced in this type about 45 +/- 5 years ago. I was a part of the engineering and development team. Very basic, but still works perfectly.
This steam powered rock crusher was in operation in the early 1880's in the gold rush days in north Idaho. It's in my favorite little town about 40 up in the nation forest. Current population about 60.
At one time I was an avid stamp collector. Now it's just some old stuff I have in a box.
This is my Leica M3 that I inherited. This is less than half the stuff that came with the camera.
