More interesting finds in moving

The lower item in this photo is an egg beater or whisk.

You place it straight up in a bowl and push straight down on the spring loaded handle to make it whirl around. Usually they are gummed up and need a few drops of kitchen oil applied to make them work.

I never needed any 'fancy' stuff to beat eggs with. I don't even need any electricity help in making cheesecake. A fork or a clean finger on clean hands works as well or better.

I like the meat fork with the ejector built in.

You’re not planning on using any of these items in your kitchen?

These could be donated to a historical society. Maybe you’d get a little bit of a tax receipt.

The carpet beater might come in handy.
 
Started in on my mom's bedroom this morning. This twin size 4-poster bed was buried under a mountain of wicker baskets. The ornate table was beside it covered in knitted blankets and dresser scarves. A 10" plate with a turkey on it was in a bureau drawer (don't ask).

Well, for everything I sell, I get 5 or 6 that never show up. The person that wanted the tables didn't come in person. She sent her boyfriend and step-father to get it. Then they argued about the condition and price. In addition, they were over three house late from when she said they'd be there. I like the actual buyer to see the item in person

I did swap mattresses. I was surprised how heavy my mom's is. Mine is the same size and thickness but weights a lot less. What a job lugging that upstairs. Hers is a lot firmer, too. I bought hers 2 months before she passed, so it didn't get that much use - it's like new. After sleeping on that sunken pillow-top, mom's felt like sleeping on a board. Then I removed the box spring. Here it is - just the frame now.
