Cute "models"...

My wife accuses me of hoarding when it comes to hardware.. She was a frequent shopper at local yardsales and whenever I was with her at a yardsale I would always ask the seller, "what'cha got for hardware?" it never ceased to amaze me what little box of treasure they'd drag out. And it usually went home with me for pennies! My father in law had a thing for brass fasteners. After he passed it all came to my shop! Most of it is in bottles and cans, and rarely used. But there are times a brass fastener just fits the bill better than anything else, and I know right where to look! LOL..
