Great Finds this Weekend......Old Witches Broom?

Look at this old primitive witches broom I found in a junkie pile. It`s much to heavy to use and it`s thick in the handle , it also doesn`t have any wear from sweeping, so I have to conclude it`s an old witches broom. (That`s my story and I`m sticking to it!) ;-) Ok, it`s a hearth broom....

My Great Find this Weekend.....




I was helping my friend set up at the Flea Market and across from us was this big black thing sticking up at the end of their space full of junk. It turned out to be this old cast iron display rack. I grabbed it up , and someone was right behind me wanting it. He followed me to my truck asking if I would sell it, I said eventually I`ll sell it, (someday) . He offered me $15. more than I paid for it, I said no and started walking away and kept upping his offer, I think a whopping $30. more than I paid for it. Now this is a guy who out bids me at auctions every time I want something he wants, he always wins. So I didn`t feel inclined to sell it to him. Not that I have bad feelings about him, whoever is willing to pay the most at auctions wins, but this morning it was whoever was in the right place at the right time. I had thought of putting it in my antique space to hang old clothes to sell, but it will take up more space then what I have there now. I think I`m going to put it in my extra room and hang my antique clothing collection on. It`s very convenient that it comes apart in 3 places for easy moving.
