6 Stamps

Where : Uncle Raul's Bargain Basement Halladay St, Jersey City

Paid : $5

I looked them up and it seems they're worth about $2.35, not my best deal !!

I don't collect stamps- I chose them by subject matter & colors,


The nursing is my favorite, so of course, it's the only used one !!

Beautiful photograph of Beautiful Lady

Where : Uncle Raul's Bargain Basement, Halladay St, Jersey City

When I turned around and saw this on top of a pile of stuff
it absolutely spoke to me, I heard music and a beam of light shone down upon it. I even love the shabby wooden frame.

1940's Superstar Master Grill

Where: Uncle Raul's Bargain Basement, Jersey City.
Paid : about $10

I love the 'Chroming' of the past. Especially, Chromed Kitchen Appliances.
Before George Forman was even Born.

Before George Forman's successful 'Grill everything you can in minutes' grill, there were these  old chrome sandwich makers. The Superstar here makes this possible. This fine specimen here is new. Unused. That's right. Not a spot of grease anywhere.


Did I mention Unused?

 This shiny clean unit has interchangeable grill plates. I need to get the waffle plates. They're still at Uncle Raul's, but I only seen one the last time I looked.




Please note: 'Bake' is equally betwixt Cold & Hot
Bakelite Accents
**SUPERSTAR!!**

Tin Container

Where : Uncle Raul's Bargain Basement, Hallady St, Jersey City, N.J

Paid : $2

I use it to store plastic bags, it's pretty and it's convenient to have it on the floor, I'm happy it has a lid, it has a handle so I could hang it, the bottom has a made in Italy stamp

I have no idea what it's original purpose was !!!

Vintage GE Model 8H58 Clock & Timer

The face of what's to come.
- Nice old Brown Bakelite Clock and Timer. The metal tabs around the clocks face are pulled out or pushed in to engage the timers on/off functions. Small crack on top.The clock runs much slower than normal, this needs adjustment.
