Yard Sale/Flea Market Finds 6/26
I hit the yard sales and flea markets this weekend and made some pretty nice finds.
One of my favorites would have to be the Civil War bayo for a Springfield rifle; a nice find for a good price. I however wish I had arrived at this yard sale earlier than I did as the women had 2 Springfield rifles for sale……which she sold for $20 each! :o(
My next is the War of the Nations book. It was printed shortly after WWI and contains 550 pages worth of photos of all of those who had a major influence before and during the war as well as "action shots" of troops, equipment and artillery from the war. The book measures about 11"x16", so they are nice big photos…
The European Campaign medal is one that I have been looking for, as I have the American and Pacific Campaign medals…Now I feel more complete with this is my display case.
Finally, the letter I am really interested in as it was sent from the German Consulate in New York in 1935. It’s written in German so maybe someone can help me to translate it to give me a general idea of what the letter is about?
Thanks for viewing!
