Went to one of my local thrift stores that often just dumps accepted vhs tapes (and even hardware) in huge dump/trash containers in the back of their parking lot (they allow dumpster diving) and found this. In the past i have (among other things) found a VHS of Silence of the Lambs and even a Video2000 recorder/player (top-loader type) in their dump containers.

It might not come across too well on this picture but the Jaguar has a fantastic metallic green color with glitter in it.

Found this hot pink VW Beetle with surfboard 2 days back. Fun to put next to my (also surfboard carrying) VW T1 pickup i found earlier this week. (which makes sense, they come from the same series)

Came across a small toy store and decided to see if they had any Majorette cars, walked out with this beautiful mint groeen VW T1 pick-up with surfboard and a racing striped 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1

This little jug for cream/milk (the kind to be added to coffee) was made in 1961 by the dutch firm Zenith (no relation to the american electronics company) of the dutch city of Gouda (famous for it's cheese) and would originally have been paired with a sugar bowl and a plate to put both on.

I picked up this cute little tea tin for 50 cents at my local thrift store.
I absolutely LOVE the flower decorations on it!
I always loved my grandmother's old tea, bread, coffee, biscuit etc. containers (she has those with chinese style decorations on them)
A little google told me this style of decoration which mimicks porcelain but on metal is called ''toleware'' and that my little tin is probably from the 60's or 70's.
I will for sure be on the lookout for more containers in this style. I would love to have a complete set just like my grandmother has.

Picked up this little tea tin for 50 cents at the local thrift store today.
A quick google tells me the decorating style is called ''Toleware'' and the tin is probably from the 60's or 70's (if this is wrong someone please correct me on this)
I picked it up cause i love vintage kitchen/household equipment (lasts forever unlike most modern things) and i really really love the floral pattern!

I was flipping through the pilot artwork book and came across this piece of concept art of Gwen in the repair halo.

Not to be ''that guy'' but i can't help but wonder, is that the machine not being finished repairing her chest so it still shows some of that blue/purple ''blood'' or does this mean Gwen has nipples that match her hair color?

Not shown: about 5 to 10 kid's vhs tapes still somewhere in my dad's storage, about 20 home videos of either family vacations or home recordings of shows/cartoons from my childhood (shows like Tom & Jerry, Thomas the Tank Engine, Postman Pat and Fireman Sam among others) and a couple of the Disney classics/originals (i have all those bundled together on a couple dedicated shelves which means those consist of VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray's all mingled together)

(Sorry if some images are dim or unfocused, i don't know why but i just could not get my home's lights to co-operate today)

I always wanted an old top loader (did not care if it was VHS, Betamax or V2000) so finding one for free was a very fun surprise. Now to put a new electrical cord in the back (i have multiple in storage, just need to pick one up) and see if this big beast still works or even powers on.

With these added i currently own 665 7'' records. Might post more of them if you guys would be interested in seeing them.

I have always loved vintage/antique stuff and wanted to try my hand at restoring something. So when a local farmer (close enough to my home to almost consider him my neighbour) started clearing out his barn and putting stuff on a table with a ''free to take'' sign and i saw this vintage petroleum stove on there i thought this would be a perfect opportunity to try my hand at somewhat restoring something. So far i have cleaned everything with nothing but a kitchen sponge and clean, cold water and the difference with all the years of accumulated dust, dirt and other debris rinsed off is already huge. Next on my list (in no particular order) is: - Trying to straighten out the bend leftmost burner dial
- Try to remove some if not most of the rust
- Touch up spots where rust used to be with epoxy resin
- Touch up the epoxy spots with Enamel paint in (as close to) the same color as the rest of the stove
- If possible try to find a replacement for the missing burner knob and the trivet/stove rack

Bought this for my stepmom (she is gonna use it to store shoes) but like me she is interested in history so inhope you guys can help me get a date on this piece.
