Three Great Antique Finds. For a Steal.

[nsfisher]

Wife and I went for a drive the other day and stumbled on an "OLD" Antique sign. We stopped and drove up the "Grown In Lane" to the falling down House and Barns. An Old Guy came out and we stated chatting about his Antiques, and the "Out of way location". He showed us what he had in a shed but it was pretty much all junk. Then he says," I have most of my Inventory up there", while he points to a grown in path through the woods. It was something similar to a "The Hills Have Eyes" movie or even "Texas Chain Saw Mass". We got to the building and it is a picker's dream. Everything you could imagine wanting. Anyway, I picked up these three pipes for $20.00 total. They need quite of bit of cleaning but there are no cracks or other damage. Hope you like em.

Nice finds Fisher. That trio will look great once you get them cleaned up. Thanks for posting.

A great $20, well spent.....

Wow, great score! They look to be in good shape, they should clean up nice!

See...those were worth the risk of being chain-sawed in half and eaten!
Nice pipes Fisher.

Great find for $20.00. Civic was part of the Cadogan Group so I'm guessing that it's got some real age to it. Looking forward to seeing how they clean up.

I want to go antiquing where you live - great score!

They need some work, but you definitely got a good deal.

Very cool - great grabs. Show them when you have cleaned them up too.

Nice pipes Fisher, I'm looking forward to seeing them again after you finish restoring.

Big congrats fisher - those are a STEAL! You've done it again you devil - good for you.

Another great score NS. You are freaking amazing at grabbing great pipes for no money. I am sure they will look great once cleaned up, congrats.

$20 you'll never miss.

Nice score there. Gotta love poking through a shed full of old stuff.

These look like some quality pipes, worn but redeemable . I wonder if they were the antique guy's pipes

or salvaged from elsewhere. Nice thing about this vintage is, you'd have a hard time finding these pipes

anywhere else. They might pop up on eBay, but probably not. They're not one of a kind, but they're not

exactly replaceable either.

Nice picks Fisher!
Well done, mate.

Good deal! Those out of the way places can be gold mines or, you die looking by a guy with a chain saw! I hope you post the 'after' pictures. Congratulations.

You hit it a lick, pal. I know how much you love your Brighams and a vintage three dot is a prize.
Way to go.

Lucky dog. I'm going to add you to the list of people I hate( they all find these kind of deals).

On second thought,I believe you are already on that list!

Thanks all. You guys would not believe just how far this Guy was off the main road. And, it was about 95KM from my home too.
