Pea Weight, Pulley, and Playing Cards

The past few weeks have yielded some mighty fine discoveries up in the North Georgia mountains! Check out some very neat items that recently found a home in the shop!






Three old glass milk bottles.  Each features a cardboard lid, with one lid having the text, "BOYSON'S DAIRY NEWTOWN, CONN."





Cast iron 3 1/2 pound pea weight. These weights were used to weigh cotton, hay, produce and a variety of other things.



This beautiful old ship pulley is made from wood and metal. The rust and wood damage only adds to its charm, making this old pulley great for industrial, beach or rustic decor or for someone that collects ship or shipyard items.. This is a heavy duty 18 pound pulley and would be great to hang a lamp or anything from. On the label is a star in the middle and it appears to say OSTOR & LOC PORT. 





One of the neatest finds that has made its way to the shop is this set of limited edition playing cards that was released in 1986.  Scantily-dressed ladies of the 80s are featured on every card.  These cards do not appear to have been used and are in very good condition.
