GARAGE SALE !!! Odd and old worthless junk for sale... by Roy Mackey
I am finally cleaning out my storage lockers once and for all!! Anything I have not used in the last six months or never use period I am getting rid of. Email or phone me if there is some junk you or your storage cannot live without.
Anything not priced is junk I am not really sure I want to sell at this point but might at least consider your offers.
Ever since I got out of the antique and other junk business 18 years ago I seem to keep attracting strange old worthless junk. I have finally had enough and am letting some of it go. Thus I will be adding things here almost daily for the next while as I clean out my storage. The newer stuff will be near the top of the list for convenience. A lot of the items here I bought for art project reflection and inspiration. Some are tools I bought but have now upgraded and some is stuff I saved from the landfill while looking for food in the local dumpsters. I should probably just throw it all out but that's what everyone does. They don't make classic long lasting junk anymore so it is nice preserve a small part of history.
Once an item sells I will remove the image.
Here is a really cool old vintage sandwich maker. This thing even has the cloth cord. I was looking for one of these forever since it is pre-teflon. In case you did not know teflon is extremely toxic to birds like parrots. If a teflon pan is slightly overheated it gives off a toxic gas that kills them before they hit the floor. Since I have a parrot that I do not want to kill I don't have any teflon in the joint. People have often asked me "if it is that toxic to parrots then what is it doing to us?" My reply is always the same... "ever hear of a cannary in a coal mine?"
Anyway no worries here as there is not teflon on this puppy. The inside is smooth and flat. Both top and bottom heat up grilling both sides at the same time. It also has a cloth woven cord on it which as you know dates it back there. I am still thinking I may change my mind on this so you will have to act fast. Oh... $25. and itz yorz
Vintage Black Dial Phone. $20. I have been using this gem in our studio for the last 8 months or so. It has been working great and I love it. Just grab handle and start talking. No need to use your other hand to push buttons to answer. It has a nice loud ringer which makes it great for a shop or studio. Nice clean clear sound. No carinogenic radio waves on this puppy. I picked up an older one I like slightly better so no longer need this one. Built back when they still wanted things to last. The cord to the wall on this is about 14 feet give or take. Can be heard working also. We have a push button phone hooked to the same line for when we need to press one for service with Telus. The nice thing about these phones is that you can still use it if the power goes out. Not like the brain deadening cheap plastic cordless phones of today.
Here is a cool old shoe stretcher or something. It is exactly like the one my Dad used to use have when I was a kid. He used it to hold our mouths open when he was washing them out with soap. If you got kids you may want to check it out. Dad swears by the one he had. Maybe you got other uses either way I am willing to let this sucker go for $FREE. also. You may want to act fast as there are a lot of people out there with kids.
Here is some kind of do it yourself table saw blade sharpening rig. I only want $15. for it. Cheap I know but I don't need it and you really don't need it either so I figured why not keep it cheap. If this was something that I knew you were actually going to use I would want a lot more for it. Either way this thing is brand new. If you actually got it to work you could save a lot of time and money running around town trying to find somone to sharpen you saw blade for cheap.
Here is a really cool... ok not that cool... but kinda neat old sander from back in the days of Simpson Sears. A real gem with the original parts sheet. Most of those uneducated in vintage tools would think it is just another cheapo sander in fact those educated in vintage tools would likely think the same but who cares!!! This is a vintage classic piece of cheapo junk. The beginings of accounant run, destroy the world, fill the landfills with junk era. It would be a great addition to all the other old useless vintage tools you are collecting. $10. and it's yours!!
Yes here is another useless piece of junk... unless you need it of course. Or even better... think... you need it. Either way works for me. A nice looking 32 Volt motor and solid brass pump. I was going to use this to pump out this old rusty 45 gallon drum of Parathion I scored at this abandoned chemical plant one time. Trouble is I could not find a 32 volt transformer. So I ended up selling the drum to an organic farmer instead. Anyway $10. and shez yourz!!!
Like seriously where do I get all this crap and why??? This is a brand new 10" vintage rock cutting saw blade from 1965. I just hate to see good junk go to the landfill I guess. I want $20. for this one. Probably worth less than that but any less and it is not worth the time it takes to post it here. When was the last time you saw a blade this old and in brand new condition? Before this one that is.
Here is a real gem I had to have... but again not sure why. This is a rotary postive blower pump gizmo. It no longer has the 3hp motor though. This is one costly beast if you bought it new. Someone said it could be used for a vacuum pump. It is a Sutorbuilt Model 4LV-F. $150. or make me an offer if you want... maybe I am willing to let her go....
Here is what I think is an old valve lapping tool from back in the dayz of old. An absolutely useless piece of junk today since no one rebuilds anything. I was going to wipe the grease off it and use it to mix my Nestle's Quick I have for breakfast. If you have a better idea then its yours for only $.FREE.
Here is an old vintage air compressor. Might work for an airbrush compressor, I don't know. It makes noise and blows air. The air tank is seperate. I want $30. for the compressor and if you want the tank you can have it for free though it no longer has the guage in it. It is an old Webster Speedy. Classic piece of Canadian made quality. Note contains no plastic or other cheapo materials.
Here is a very old antique pipe clamp. Absolutely useless to me but I had to have it and now can't stand all the junk I have!! Thus I am giving this puppy away for only $20. !! Actually maybe I should keep this one.... ok maybe not....

Here is an old vintage Webster air compressor I picked up. After I got it I found the steel pipe from the compressor to the tank was cracked where it threaded into the tank. It was an almost impossible job to repair. Getting out the broken part was the biggest problem. Strangely with the help of the gang from the mothership I was able to get the old broken fitting out and install the new one. The motor works fine on this and the pump does pump air. It does not build up much pressure but does work. My guess it needs some reed valves or something. I figured with wheels it would be a classic portable compressor to drag outside for pumping up tires etc. I am not that keen on selling it but if you got $75. I would let it go from my storage to yours.

Here is an old vintage medical/dental air compressor. I would guess from the twenties or so. It is in almost mint condition and even works. I am not sure how much air it would put out as the hose has been cut off where it leaves the tank. A prime example of beautiful American made quality. THIS WOULD MAKE THE COOLEST AIR BRUSH COMPRESSOR EVER!!! $250. and it is yours to have and to hold. You will have to be fast on this one though since I am thinking of keeping it.

1983 Mercedes Benz.... $4900. This pig has only 99000km's on it. Runs and drives great. 28 years old so qualifies for collectors plates. Just installed new front brakes and rotors. Needless to say has all sorts of options from sunroof to heated seats. Not keen on selling it but have no dry storage for it and is too mint to be stored outside. Absolutely no rust and appears to have factory undercoating. Needs only minor detailing here and there.

Here is an unusual ruler I picked up somewhere. It is a triangular one and still has the orginal carboard tube with metal caps it came in. Not sure how old it is but when was the last time you saw a ruler packed this well. Anyway I want $5. for it which might be high but it is such a classic it is hard to ask less.
Here is a classic old slide projector. This is a well made beast that still works. On top of that I did a quick google search and found out that you can still get the bulbs for this useless piece of projector unless you need it then it is worth the $10. I am asking for it. Maybe a little high but quality is often like that.
Here is an old mixer like my mom used to mix up mashed potatoes for us pigs. She said it was faster. You could use this to mix up cement or whatever. About 36 inches long. I only want $5. for it.
Here is a pair of good quality German made tin snips. Only $12. Still have the box they came in. I have a pair I am keeping and they work very well.
Antique cast iron toy motor $280.
This is one real classic and very old cast iron toy motor. These are very hard to find in Canada. Though I have not tested it yet it does apparently work. Unfortunately these are a very expensive item. I have a couple more different ones but have not finished with them yet. I may eventually post them here when I do.
