Friends talked me into going with them to a small little town that used to be great for 50's vintage stuff.
We were shocked to see that most of the shops had closed. I did however find these few items. The plate which is marked Pacific was a buck, the Kon tiki S.& P. were 2 bucks and the bamboo/jar candle things were free. They guy was getting ready to toss them when I asked if I could have them. Missing one candle jar...


Then we decided to take a different way home and had just enough time to stop into a little shop in the town that I spent just about every weekend this summer camping. I walked in and looked up, and there he was hanging from a rafter. He was marked down to $25. He really crudely carved, 26" tall and 13" wide. He weighs 18 lbs.


And this fellow I found last Monday at my local thrift store for $5.
