Going to thrift, antique, second-hand and used-stuff-for sale stores has long been a fascination of mine. Not only are all of wares ridiculously inexpensive (if you know which locales to visit), they all have hidden histories and a varnish that beckons a fantasy-filled story to be told about them. These are my three latest finds, bought for just a few coins.

I like Onkel Oluf’s DIXIE condom can.
I thought the blue tin was for tobacco.
Now I am in doubt about what Navy Cut actually means.
Confusion.
Not tobacco or condoms… but knitting needles!
I couldn’t help myself, had to Google:

He probably made some really cool, woollen socks to wear for his matches 😉
