saturdays yardsale deal

[rsanter]

so this morning I had to drop mt daughter off so she could do some comunity service.
side note: she was helping with some fund raising at a church because her school desires the students to do some SC, not because its mandated or she has been in trouble.....
back to topic..
so on the way back I took an alternate route home to look for any interesting yard sales....and found these
the bins have hardware in them
$46 for all of it

OK, I'll be the first to tell ya, "You ****!"

Sometimes, it's tough to find those kinda cabinets. You done good.

 

[SouthCoastMudder]

You really really ****, those boxes are GREAT for hardware and small parts...

 

[BUGTHUG]

Did good for shore, I bought a box like the one on bottom, last week. Its a little darker green and has three guys names on it but I can't remember off hand. I think one of the names is Sillman, its Blish Mize Silliman. Thats close. I looked up the name and they are a old company from Kansas, started in the late 1800's and are still in business. I think they catered to hardware stores, and the drawers were full of brass fittings. I would love to find those other boxes you got, lucky dog.

thanks guys
I was a bit hyped to get them for that price
I have several like the grey one in the garahe so I get to add this one to the collection
the others are the first like that, that I have
need to figure out what to fill them with once I sort the stuff

for anyone interested, the guy that had these was restoring antiques and antique lamps so I think there is some stuff in there that someone may be interested in

+3... You ****!

 

[Vicegrip]

Good get.

I just dropped real money at Fastenal for 8 boxes in two cabinets.

 

[sumner52000]

You ****. Try going to an auction and getting boxes like that.

 

[str8axle55]

You really ****, I need some of those.

 

[sselander]

they are not cheap new.

Durham Manufacturing Manufacturing here in CT makes a lot of them

http://www.durhammfg.com

I saw stacks of new ones at the Nutty Company recently.

Can't remember the price, but were not cheap.

U **** big time

 

[Rickster55]

Awesome! You can never have enuf parts drawers. NEVER!!

 

[KCarGuy]

Great Storage Bins and The fact that you got the Slides-Cabinets that hold them is such a Bonus.
Its hard to find those, at even a heavy price, but all that for the price you got is a dream for most of us....You do ****!!!!
Way ta Go!

Hey man what about pictures of the hardware.

I doubt he's got any grade 8 stuff for antique lamps.

 

[mrbreezeet1]

Yeah, that one on the bottom, there was a few of them just going to waste when I did this job through man power, at an electric plant.
Just rusting away in a building they don't use anymore.
Broke my heart, would have loved to had them.
They let a lot of things go to waste there.
But they wouldn't let you take anything as scrap anymore unless it was wood.
Thanks,
Tony

Yes, you do ****! Nice cabinets.

MSC sells Durham storage drawers that are the same thing as the one on the right in the first picture (page 3134 if anyone is interested). $107.06 for a four drawer rack, and about $40 for each box for a total of about $270. Not cheap at all.

 

[930dreamer]

What a great find, and you ****. What's inside?

 

[Catalyze]

Double "You ****".
One for the purchase.
One for no hardware photos.
