In my area, there is an auction every wednesday. It is mainly outdoors and if you go early enough you can see everything that is there. I also got a treadle machine one time for $20, plus an antique rocker recliner that I am having problems finding the era it is from. It has the fold out foot rest also. My plans are to redo the whole thing. Since I do upholstery work it won't be a big deal to replace the fabric on it.
I love going to the auction, but there is so much stuff there that I want to get...........I would go broke.......but the stuff there goes so cheap and you can get some really good buys. Once I went and got some hose reels. The guy told me that I also got a sofa, chair, scales, fold up chairs, mirrors and all that for just $10. I plan on recovering the sofa and chair.
