I'm always on the watch for vintage Altec-Lansing speakers from the 50's & 60's. I also watch for vintage Graphlex press cameras and accessories.

Old mens wallets, preferably with the contents still in them. Hand made ones are especially special to me. My great grand dad made his extra money making them. He used everything grown/raised on his farm to make them. They really don't have much value as they do sentimental value to me.

A red coleman model 200A single mantel lantern.

Somebody walked off with mine, at my last camping trip.

I've got one of those. Had the original box untill we moved last fall. Found it in Grandmas basement. It had been used 2-3 times before getting stored in the basement.

I look for aluminum boats from the 40's and 50's that need to be restored. I can't afford them but still can dream right? My mom is also a fanatic about antique furniture. Whenever dad builds furniture he models it after antiques. When we built our house we modeled it after homes from the civil war era. Too bad we don't live there anymore. The location just did not work out for us.

I hunt wild pigs. They make great sausages. I can find all sorts of manual meat grinders, which I prefer, but have been unable to find the sausage stuffing attachment that goes on it.
Do a search of "ailled kenco sales"
