More old stuff found in Indiana Antique stores.

Hint:  Old rusty railroad spikes can often be found in large numbers alongside railroads, where these are left after railroad repairs.

Toppers, iPhone Photo

I learned not long ago, via one of my British Flickr contacts, that Toppers is an old British term for hats.

Gulf-Tex-Deere

This is the first time I’ve seen this type tall Texaco oil bottle.  Usually, these are all shaped like the Gulf and John Deere ones adjacent to the Texaco bottle.

Pennsylvania Cream
Axed Again

Fidelity

Apparently, enclosed cog wheels was an advanced feature in the age of this wringer washing machine.  Probably a safety feature.

Home Office

A pre-computer version of a home office.

The Garret

The Garret is an old home that is now filled top to bottom with old stuff everywhere.  It is run by an elderly couple that purchased the old home many years ago.  I was not able to stand back far enough to get the best shot, especially after having to edit the original photo to make this structure look more upright.  I  was inspired to take this shot by the clouds in the blue sky above.  It reminds me of something that might have appeared in the movie “Ghost Busters”.

That is all of the old stuff, at least for now.

Indiana Fall 2022 – Old Stuff – Part 1

Visits to Indiana with my wife always require visits to local, and sometimes not so local, antique stores.  To occupy my time I look for interesting photo subjects for my camera phone.
