It's not too close too the original, but it's the first thing I thought about when I saw it. So I had to get a picture! So for the motor enthusiasts and movie buffs, I give you The Hesper, Minnesota version of "Jeepers Kreepers" 😬

Yes, the marble was a good sign, along with the chair. Also came across a weathered doll without hair. Another peculiar piece was that little Japanese figure in the same picture as the chair. It sits just above the lamp finial. It will be included in the round of "cleaned up" pics.

I was turned on too this link last year Lonnie M. (From the Midwest Marble Collectors Club). At least 250 different varieties of Vacor 👍

Eyes are peeled. Already sporting a few cuts from glass 😬

Lots of broken glass all around of course...sadly, I found the bottom too a Ball Mason jar, Blue...Gallon size! Darn it.

Mousetrap dates back too the 1920's-30's from what I have found out thus far...

I already mentioned that too her because I want too find out when it was settled....I'm heading back tommorow too do some more digging. I think I just tapped the surface with those blue Mason's and lids in one spot. Also found a dump pile about 50 yards north in the woods 👍

Not that we initially saw. This place is about 3/4 mile back in the woods, out in the country obviously. We knew about it because Patty used too walk the trail through the woods close by where this place is. Her parents used to own a place down the road from this area years ago. The lady that used to own this property passed not too many years ago, passing it on too her brother. She had tons of land, never living in this place. It was just let go too become overgrown and fell apart. I know the house itself dates back too the late 1800's, and hasn't been lived in for probably 60-70 years. It's been long forgotten by anyone except for her brother, who doesn't give a hoot about anything there.

A cool antique mousetrap 😊

Some of the haul, cleaned up. And yes, I found a marble!

We had a little adventure today...found an abandoned farmhouse, now collapsed, along with 2 outbuildings, one collapsed and 1 still standing. I think the one still standing isn't as old as the others. Anyway after our discovery, of course we started exploring. Here are some of the goodies we found, along with pics of the collapsed farmhouse and shed...

Possibly Alox or Jackson if not Pelt...

Narrowed it down too the late 60's or 70's. Found one but it's square and doesn't have the "raised butt rests"...

Haven't pinpointed it's manufacturer or manufacture date yet but that's a good guess 👍

Picked this up for 50 cents the other day...thought it might lift Art's spirits a bit. Couldn't pass on a vintage ashtray 👍

Happy Marble King Monday and have a fantastic Columbus Day 😁

I like the 6th one from the right

Yep, after you posted I found some other ones online...thank you again 😊

Oh wow, didn't think in that direction at all yet...Thanks Alan! 👍

What this could have actually been? It's about a gallon in size, and as you can see, it's equipped with a screen and plunger. Someone thought some sort of lantern. Maybe something used to be in that groove around the middle...a metal or leather band? Any tips answers or opinions are welcome 👍

Probably a few good hits too win some games 👍

Too bad she's beat up...in hand the glass takes on more of a blue like you would see with a Vicks jar 😊

I'm only wondering because I do not have a cork of this color....but I'm going Akro...0.61. Found it in my Slags and swirls of this color 😬

👍

Happy Slags and Swirls Saturday 😊
