I told myself that I was not going to go to any estate sales this weekend.  No getting up at 6 or 7 am on my off day.  No going through all that trouble to get to the sale 30 min early only to be no. 91 on the list and watch someone walk out with all the items I spent the previous night dreaming about.  No,Absolutely not.  And I made good on that and slept in and relaxed.  Yup!  Then the sun came out, and so did the estate, garage, and yard sale signs.  What's a brutha supposed to do when he has Saturday and Sunday off for a change?  Well, I reasoned that it wouldn't  hurt to stop and visit a couple of them, because YOU NEVER KNOW RIGHT?  RIGHT!?  You know how the rest of the story goes....(sigh)...
Bell & Howell two twenty 8mm video camera from 1950s.
                                                      WWII International Signalcards.





I actually met the gentleman to whom these cards were issued to.  I could easily have pulled up a chair and listened to him for hours. 



Vintage View-master. 


This was a nice find.  An assortment of 3D reels.  They're so much fun to look at. 

French story of a boy and his best friend who happens to be a red balloon.
1956.  Based on a film.


    This is the point I realize I'm just a big kid :)
                  Has to be my favorite find.  Vintage metal trucks/jeeps some from the 60s.  Remember Tonka?

1963 Flinch:  A Fun Party game from Parker Brothers.  Be first player to dispose of cards in proper sequence and you win.  Also includes four other versions of the game: Muggins, Authors, Patience, and Go to the store.
Booby-Trap
1965:  Great game for the entire family.  Try and remove the wood pieces one by one without setting off the spring bar.  Plenty of laughs in this game.
So wich band is it?  Hint: 80s

































Pretty Cool find, and vinyl is in excellent condition!
Three books from famous Illustrator T. Izawa.  Amazing images and stunning colors throughout.
I love these little electronic games.   You don't have a square, circle, z, c, triangle and 12 other buttons.  You just pick it up and play.  Thank you 1978!  LOL.  Simple Genius.  Just try it.
