My friend thought it was for a scale or some type of balance bar/scale. The end of.it has a notch to possibly hang it.

I can't believe you found that post. It's too puny to be used as a brick hauler. It's kind of small to be used for cooking. At least I know it's not a one off homemade piece.

The pack of cigarettes should give a sense of scale. The guy made k98 mauser stocks as a hobby. I thought it had something to do with that, but I don't see how. This one has me stumped.

I showed up at the end of an estate sale today. The lady announced everything left was free. I grabbed a box full of odds and ends (a few things are listed here in other threads). I didn't know what these were until I got home. Weird what we find sometimes.

I just picked this up at an estate sale. It's about 12" long. The spring loaded legs move up and down. Anyone have an idea as to what it is?

I just picked this up from a bowling alley that is closing down. It was too cool not to get for $10.

I just picked this up for $10. Lady said her brother passed away and she just wanted the stuff gone. This thing is a beast, and works.

I'm guessing this came to Roswell nm when the airport was still controlled by the military. This is why I love this forum. Even obscure items tie into people's lives from across the country.

I picked this up for $1 just because it looked interesting. I am familiar with radio frequency counters, but not ac ones. It was last calibrated in the early 70s. Anyone know what the military used this for?

Another last day of an estate sale. The house sold and everything had to go today. He wanted $120 for these, but I got all of them for $20. They are decent sized and in great shape. 9 military issue pup tents, each tent has both halves.

The homeowner was too old to take care of himself, and moved to a specialized care facility. The guy selling the assets told me he was hired by the realtor company to clear everything out of the house prior to it being sold. Today was the last day of the sale, and he just wanted to get rid of...

This was one of the better estate sales I have been to in awhile. The cane swords look to be 1880 to 1900. The Blue Streak bb gun is in really nice shape. The pot thing is a mystery. Either brass or copper, extremely well made. Anyone have an idea What it was for or an age? The aluminum pot is a...

This was a fun one for a change. A hoarder in his 90s passed away. The 1950's toy boat is pretty cool. All in for $60. They are opening up some Storage sheds tomorrow, and I'll be there.

They are both marked crossman. I got them to resell, but I think I'm going to keep them.

I just got both of these for $15, just because. The 45 is spring loaded and works. The mark ll is co2. Guy said it works, I'll find out when I get some cartridges. You would swear the mark ll is a real pistol.
