Thrift Store Find

[MilesDavis]

I purchased this mirrored shadow box from a antique/thrift store for $22. It was dusty and forlorn, but it cleaned up beautifully.

Nice catch indeed, and such a price!

Yeah, at 22 bucks that would be a no-brainer purchase ...always feels great to come across a great find/deal like that!

I really like how the displays are at different levels in the box. It gives it a real “museum quality” feel. Great find!

Nice way to display your pipes?

Ok, but where did you score that filing cabinet?! ?

Nice find. I have something similar that I used to display my shaving brushes.

I have a metal filing cabinet like that!
I found mine at a Military Government Surplus sale back in the late 90s. I also have one of those heavy metal office desks.

Those desks are a huge pain in the ass to move but are probably a good place to take cover under during an air raid.

Yep. They should bring back heavy metal desks like that for schools.

What, and deprive a Chinese company the contract to make desks that need to be thrown away in 5 years and be re-purchased?! How insensitive of you...

Thrift store! We find lots of good old stuff at thrift stores.

I have a couple single-pipe holders with a magnetic bases for resting on those steel desks!
