Swung by a yard sale after work and got a good little haul for under $6.
The biggest score of all would be the 4lb TT KLEY WORKS handmade, I'd call it a California but it could also be a Swamping pattern.
Deputy Cobb told me it wasn't for sale because it came from his father in-law so I didn't push it, I said thank you and started to walk away when he asked how much I'd give him.
I said $10, he said he expected $5, and that was it.
$5 is a great deal, and I'm sure he'd probably be happier to see it rust free hung and appreciated by me than rusting away as a lawn decoration.
Next was my grabs from the dime box, the Stanley 8ft tape , the keychain tape I mostly wanted for the keychain off it, an A Leitz scribing compass, and last but not least the MAC MB2 pocket inspection mirror. I'm thinking Ullman devices but that's just a WAG.
Oh and the Omega Tally counter was I think 50¢, i just thought it was cool.
I also got a unopened X kites airplane shaped microkite for 5¢ and a faux security camera from a free box.
Yes I know a kite, but they will always be fun
The faux camera takes 3 AA batteries and has a motion sensor to make it blink and scan back and forth when someone is near.
When I was a kid we had one and when these kids were throwing water balloons at our house one day I told them it was an experimental military camera with Lazer beams and tracking software and all this stuff, needless to say they stopped throwing the water balloons
