Cast Iron Trivet with Rooster

Where: Random NJ Yard Sale
Paid: 50¢

Old, missing the colorful tile in the center. I like this better as a iron picture Frame.





Vintage 1920's Leather Welder's Goggles

Where: Estate Sale, NJ
Paid, about $2



Nice find in the bottom of a toolbox in the Basement of the Estate. These can also be used to view an eclipse, whenever the next one happens I'll be the one wearing these.  Excellent accessory for Steampunk couture.  

Wacky vintage Japanese Analog Calculator

Where: Salvation Army
Paid, about $1

Division was implemented on later models
Interesting calculator for the late 1960's made in Japan.  Use the brass stylus to drag down the toothed rails and count away.  Like an abacus, with numbers. Sure, adding is a cinch, good luck doing multiplication or any type of division on this.

Two wrongs make 93.315



Vintage humorous Giant Postcards

Where: Uncle Raul's in Jersey City
Paid: about 2 dollars for the pile

...about 40 humorous "King Size Gooney Cards" from the 1940's 1950's, where sending a postcard was a measly 4¢
