National Geographic Rock Tumbler

As a little boy in the late 1960s, I was on holiday one summer in Colwyn Bay in North Wales, I saw a rock tumbler and I wanted one, it was no great shock that I didn't get one! Over the years I've kept a watch as to how much they are, always finding them more then I wanted to spend (considering I don't want to make jewelery etc!)

At Torksey on Wednesday I found a National Geographic Rock Tumbler, still boxed and unused for £5! Well it took me about 40 years, but I found a cheap one lol!

Rotring Isograph Pen Set

I found this at Torksey on Saturday, some of you probably don't recognise it, its an artists pen set, its also used for writing on plastics or anything that accepts paint. I used to write and draw on 30mm Warhammer figures, when I sold my old Isograph pen I got a tenner for it!

This set contains seven pans with different size nibs, ink and other parts. I don't think he knew what it was worth (the current equivalent sells for over £100, when I asked how much it was and he said £1 I snapped his hand off! ! - Bargain!

Brass Door Handles

As you may have already read, I have been given some panel doors for upstairs, they had something missing, the handles and hinges. About two weeks ago, I bought these, five pairs of door handles, with internal latches and bar too. I just need to buy some brass effect screws the plate for the door-frame from B&Q and thats it! And I only need three of them, so the unused two I'll probably give away on my favorite free website, DontDumpThat!

And how much where these? I paid £2 the lot, I think thats pretty fair :)

Celing Rose

I found this in a Gainsborough Charity Shop today, brand new and still sealed. It'll be a while until it gets put on the living room celing, as we are taking all the plaster off the walls and re-plasterboarding the celing too, so it has a year or so wait.

And how much was this 400mm rose? £1.50!

And this teatime a friend brought me 4 pine panel doors, neatly varnished and in great condition, they will finish the upstairs and these where £FREE, my favorite price!
