An almost 100 year old analog clock that is still ticking. This thing was made during the Great Depression.

A really cute music box with a broken mechanism, but I was able to fix it and spruce it up with red suede linings and a mirror.

A really nice hammer that I cleaned and decorated for theatrical use. I named her Miss Scarlet.

My nicest furniture was found stooping. I found a set of antique bronze and inlayed are likely worth a few grand. All it cost was $20 of cleaning materials and two hours of labor.
