A few more oddities from our antique store stroll.

Because you never know when you’ll need a personal, portable steam engine on wheels. It can be yours for a mere $4,000.

I have no explanation for that.

Proof positive everything can be made into a lamp… whether it should be is another issue entirely.

.
We almost can home with this corn cutter.
.
.
The fact that it was on sale required closer examination.

I was all for putting this little dude in the man cave/Barn Mahal but the husband disagreed.

Truth in advertising is a rare thing.

Well, it does work on tight nuts, but iI doubt it would do much for “rusty” tool. 😇

A rusty wrench would clean up nicely. It wouldn’t have that shiny new look anymore, but I like that old steel patina.

You missed the “quotation marks” around rusty? Maybe I should have put them around “tool.”
Get your mind back in the gutter!

That’s a heck of a lamp. Talk about a multitasker. If you’re making a pizza and need some grated mozzarella, it’s there for you.

And you’ll never have to grate in the dark again.

What does a corn cutter cut? Kernals off the cob?

Yes, it shells the corn and will funnel it into a bag.

Well, if Biden has his way about clean energy, we will all be needing that steam thingamajiggy. Of course, the coal bin will be replaced by a battery and the thing will need to be recharged every 11 feet, but hey, steam is clean, right?

“Truth in advertising is a rare thing.”
Truth in right wing politics is a non-existent thing.
Therefore, if we had more right-wing advertising, truth would improve from non-existent to rare?

I like that little steampunk lamp, and also the sign that says “Keep _ight.” You could have all sorts of fun with that: Just fill in the beginning consonant(s) as the situation warrants.

We could, but sadly both items were left at the store.
