Post pics of your Neat Old Stuff!

[theastronaut]

Most old car guys are usually into antiques/vintage stuff, automobilia, NOS parts, etc... What kind of neat old stuff do you guys have laying around? It's always neat to see other guys' collections.

Here's some of my stuff.


1950's/1960's Rollfast bicycle.



Plans are to chop it and rat rod it.



Vintage catalytic heater.





NOS Cibie Z-Beam headlights.



Near NOS Frank Myers VW Dealership license plate frame from my hometown (and where my '66 bug was bought new) and 1966 South Carolina sample license plate.



Flea market finds, vintage Amoco gas can and steel road sign.



1960's Radio Jet wagon.



Vintage Stereo Vivid 3D slide projector.



1950's Coke cooler, and I have a matching blue Pepsi cooler.



Old coke button sign. Has a lot of "patina" lol.



Another vintage cooler.



Antique brass extinquisher.



And another cooler. My grandad bought this one back in the '60 from a neighbor.



Vintage Penzoil sign from my hometown.

Here's a few pics of the coolers we have around. All have original paint except for the Dr. Pepper cooler which was painted red over the original seafoam green.

And a link to the Tot Rod build we're doing for our son:

For those purists, the pedal car has a freshly built frame and no modifications were done to the car.

Thanks, the room is pretty neat itself. The house was built in 1860, completely out of heart pine. My room is the only one that's never been painted. There's still four square cut nails in the ceiling with twine on them where they would hang quilting looms to get them up out the way. There are what appears to be splattered oil spots on the wood, I assume from a stationary engine/sawmill that the wood was cut/planed on and oily fingerprints on the edges where it was handled whenever the wood was stacked or moved. It has the original hand painted faux wood grain mantle over the fireplace as well. The only thing that has been changed is the addition of outlets and a ceiling fan/light. I've got it stuffed full of old car parts, antiques, road signs, an engine stand, and a few guitars. I'll get some more pics and post them this weekend.

Hey,some neat old stuff here! Oh yeah,that's the topic of the thread. Well,you struck a chord here! I am all about neat old stuff. Hey Astronaut,I think we may be kindred spirits. BTW,my house is 3 years older than yours is,nah nah noo noo .
I'll start off with my prize possession,which is sitting on the vintage Standard toilet in my upstairs bathroom:

[special-K]

Here's some stuff in the bedroom:







This is part of an arcade game (pinball?) I have hanging up over my 67-72 GM Truck model collection:

Some early Hot Rod & Custom Mags (featuring trucks,of course):

[special-K]

Some of my lawn furniture I sand blasted and painted about 10 years ago...got patina?





As much as I hate showing "her" (my X),this is my kitchen with old stuff in the background. I drink coffee from vintage Fire King mugs,drink iced tea from jelly jar cartoon glasses,shake salt & pepper from diner ware,set hot pans on old trivets,and on. I love all things old. Is there anything else?

I had to go back and read your post to make sure you weren't posting yourselves as 'Old Neat Stuff'

Some really neat stuff in here. I need to take a few pics of my ancient treasures and post them, too !

[pritch]

I have this really cool old air compressor:


And a few of these old Thermos bottles:



And this-guess what it's for:



I have lots of old tools, too.

Don't have much but I do like see the old stuff. I love seeing something 50-100 years old come back to life and be used for it's orignal purpose. Our son's bed is over 150 years old and we still use it today.

Here are my cooler's.









I also have my grandmother's 150 year old bed with stool and matching bedroom suit. The head board almost hit's the ceiling in our house. I also have the piano my grandmother and my mother both learned to play as children and sewing machine that my grandmother made all 7 of our first communion gowns on.

Stacking paper reams so the edges line up.

Still not sure that last one shows enough neat old stuff to not delete. Anyway...

Here's some of my Tonka Toy collection. First,a few in the living room:



Some other stuff in the living room. Smokey & friends and motorcycles:

I got lots of Old Stuff. The Dental Chair setting on the triler is my latest project

[fakerwade]

If I didn't know any better, I'd say that Special-K "really loves old stuff"!!!!!

Here is a pic of my Grandfather's copper hammer (probably never seen one before??). I use it almost every day. I have no clue how old it is, he passed away before I asked him.
