Old Forgotten Shed Opened After 66 Years

[SeaBreeze]

Nothing of extreme value, but a lot of cool stuff...not sure where this is.

Now this is my kind of hunting!

@SeaBreeze I would guess that the location is Garlic City, CA. Quicksilver is another name for mercury.

How did I miss this?

I didn't know mercury is called quicksilver, thanks M.

The blue & grey crock on a lower shelf is what the first margarine was made in.
There was a bead in it so when you kneaded it with your hands you broke the bead which had yellow food coloring in it.

The crock I have lacks a lid.

LOL - that typewriter at :37 looks like the one James Caan used on Cathy Bates in "Misery."

I don't know what state that's in, but places that haven't been disturbed for a long time is exactly where Brown Recluses like to hide. I'd spray a shed like that before going into it.

That place isn't dusty enough to have set there for 60 years. Heck, my house is dustier than that when I get lazy.

Like my cellar!

That typewriter looks like an old Underwood brand. I bought one of those about 5 years ago, at a local auction for $25. I spent a couple hours giving it a good cleaning, and installed a new ribbon, and everything worked. I wound up selling it on EBAY for $400.
