Junk from the cellar

You're not keeping this junk are you? Must have been very hard work cleaning out your cellar. Wish I had your energy. The hardest thing I do around the house is................nothing, usually!
 
I was considering saving them for my yard sale, but people are so fussy these days. The racks I could use to display clothing. I haven't even scratched the surface cleaning the cellar. There are several large stoneware pieces down there that might be worth something (to a collector). One has the likemess of George Washington on it. It was made in 1932 - his birth bicentennial.

You mean Vintage Clothing? Deb, dear, I wouldn't buy anything displayed on those racks. Gee, I wish I still had a car. I'd drive up to meet you if you wanted to. Alas!
 
Deb. I love the memories that surround things like these.

I have a wooden drying rack identical to the one in the first picture, and I use it all the time.
 
One thing that pleased me, though, was finding the mate to an odd shaker that was in a cabinet upstairs. I though my mom had bought just one shaker, now I have the pair. It must have fallen into a box if assorted electrical gadgets my dad had near the shelving. There was a patent number on the bottom, so I did some research and found they were made in the 1920s.
