Post pics of your Neat Old Stuff!
 
Most old car guys are usually into antiques/vintage stuff, automobilia, NOS parts, etc... What kind of neat old stuff do you guys have laying around? It's always neat to see other guys' collections.

Here's some of my stuff.

Here's a few pics of the coolers we have around. All have original paint except for the Dr. Pepper cooler which was painted red over the original seafoam green.

And a link to the Tot Rod build we're doing for our son:

For those purists, the pedal car has a freshly built frame and no modifications were done to the car. :)

Thanks, the room is pretty neat itself. The house was built in 1860, completely out of heart pine. My room is the only one that's never been painted. There's still four square cut nails in the ceiling with twine on them where they would hang quilting looms to get them up out the way. There are what appears to be splattered oil spots on the wood, I assume from a stationary engine/sawmill that the wood was cut/planed on and oily fingerprints on the edges where it was handled whenever the wood was stacked or moved. It has the original hand painted faux wood grain mantle over the fireplace as well. The only thing that has been changed is the addition of outlets and a ceiling fan/light. I've got it stuffed full of old car parts, antiques, road signs, an engine stand, and a few guitars. I'll get some more pics and post them this weekend.

As much as I hate showing "her" (my X),this is my kitchen with old stuff in the background. I drink coffee from vintage Fire King mugs,drink iced tea from jelly jar cartoon glasses,shake salt & pepper from diner ware,set hot pans on old trivets,and on. I love all things old. Is there anything else?:cool:

Here is a pic of my Grandfather's copper hammer (probably never seen one before??). I use it almost every day. I have no clue how old it is, he passed away before I asked him.

Probably that picture was taken at our Old Threshers and there is a friend of mine that has a set of 30 series. That kinda looks like his old 930 not positive though
