Garage Sale Find

[Bacon Camp]

Found these in an old house today that was having a garage sale.

Probably sat there on the same shelf for 60+ years.
Boxes are full except for one.

22 Shorts even had a spider egg and all.

I love scores like that, hope you got a good deal on them and have a place to display them.

Totally. I wouldn't shoot any of them. Well maybe one or two if there's a partial box.

Well, they wanted to get rid of everything in the old house so they took any offer.

Sure makes you glad you took the time to stop doesn't it. What a great find, especially these days!
Some tome ago, I found a stockless rusty 410 Iver Johnson stuck in a box with old used stove pipes and pipe fittings @ a garage sale, bought just the Iver for five bucks, and turned into this:


Still only worth five bucks when considering the crude stocks and adding the ridiculous and unjust transfer fees...
But it not only works, but well!! (not that its a great challenge for a .410 break open to work well)
(Besides fabricating stock, added a firing pin hand ground from a 3/16" drill bit shank, plus lots of scrubbing / buffing..)

You made it worth something to you. Way more important, especially these days.
