I love The Stratford Antique Center....click photo to enlarge

Do you love old things ????

I went to The Stratford Antique Center in between going to the Post Office and Rite Aid .
I bought this metal dust pan with the crimped edges and the beautiful green color , it says Everlast and it is HEAVY .
and the lamb .... I had a rubber lamb JUST like this one when I was a baby . I remember it very well . Do you remember any of your baby toys ?
This lamb has Akron Ohio stamped on it .
and the scissors.... I picked them up and I HAD to buy them because of the SOUND they made . These heavy scissors made a squeaky metal against metal sound .... it reminded me of my mother .... ha ha . ANd the dust pan reminded me of my Uncle Matty .
I didn't spend a lot ... I think $24.00
GOOD old stuff made in the good old U.S.A.
These things will last another 100 years
