(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Stuff.\u00a0 We all have it and most gearheads collect it without even trying, though some of us do try.\u00a0 Whole I am no hoarder, I have a growing collection of 1\/64 diecast that are primarily Johnny Lighting.\u00a0 I don\u2019t keep any in the box.\u00a0 Then there\u2019s my magazines.\u00a0 I have several titles from 1994-2010-ish and a bunch of others scattered over the years.\u00a0 The only constant I\u2019ve kept going is Hot Rod so I am trying, slowly, to complete as much of that title as I can.\u00a0 My crack dealer (guy that regularly sells me old rags) was there.\u00a0 I\u2019d already picked up a dozen or so when we saw him.\u00a0 Last year we needed to borrow a dolly to carry out boxes full.\u00a0 He turned on the charm and almost had me hooked into a \u2018heck of a deal\u2019 for at least one large box.\u00a0 I found the strength to resist and only carried an extra two dozen or so away.\u00a0 Kryptonite.<\/p>\n

Anyway, this third and final gallery is a representation of the \u2018stuff\u2019 to be found.\u00a0 We saw a LOT of automotive cologne bottles.\u00a0 I must have missed the fad of turning old sewing machines into tractors and such.\u00a0 Get a look at that Oldsmobile salesman briefcase complete with literature inside.\u00a0 Further down you\u2019ll see an old dentist\u2019s office chair setup.\u00a0 An old Montgomery Ward\u2019s outboard might make for a cool conversation piece.\u00a0 In my hometown we had Ward\u2019s and Sears catalog stores.\u00a0 I remember the Ward\u2019s catalog being about 2 inches thick.\u00a0 There were also a lot of old phones available in nearly every shape, size and color.\u00a0 I like folk art and in here is a candle holder made of bottle caps.\u00a0 How about a bin full of anti-tank mortars\u2026?\u00a0 Not sure what we could do with them, but it might be fun figuring it out.\u00a0 Not pictured is the old-time (likely early 70s) picnic basket my son snagged to use for a tool box in his car.\u00a0 Later we found some old bowling ball bags (his original idea for a tool bag) and he got those.\u00a0 I suppose the picnic basket might actually get used for food once again.<\/p>\n

Thanks for following along our adventures.<\/p>\n
