Done a couple more boxes today. No big money finds today.

A couple things I found in the boxes this week. Reached in and pulled out a shaving brush I have not used in years. Can not remember when I last used it even. I look at it and wonder what in the he!! am I going to do with this. I was swishing it around in the palm of my hand and felt how soft and flexible the brush hairs were. Bammm it hit me what to use it for. A key board brush for my computer I am typing on. Perfect duster brush.

The other thing I came across was an egg slicer that was patented in 1919. Aluminum shaped like an egg that opens in the middle with a sliding slicer setting on a stand. Open it up, slide the slicer cutter back, insert the hard boiled egg, fold the top portion back down, Maintain pressure on the top and slide the slicer into the two parts. Must have gotten picked up in my travels some where. Still has the pasted on tag with the patent date and the price of $14.00.
