yard sale season


First yard sale finds of the season. A collection of old weathered lanterns that will have a new home on the front porch in October. They were scattered amongst a pile of metal and plastic in the back of an open trailer on someone's lawn. She said they were things her father had collected over a lifetime. I wonder if he's aware that his daughter is selling off his memories for a dollar apiece.

Those are great, the one pictured on the left with the green glass is a running light off of a boat. I love that square one, looks like it would be on a stage coach.
