To keep the fun going...

Old Oil Cans

Old Posters of any kind, advertisements etc. Artsy folks collect odd things..what can I say.

Old toys, tin, or really anything old pre 80s, an even some 80s, reckon this more for collectors then crafters..but I saw Pez! (hiding his pez collection from Jilly. Wife gets me some every year, I like the candy..the holders are just a by product that I save..lol)

Old tools, woodworkers(they count as crafty right?) do like the older things, for some projects. A good hand drill, saw, etc.

I'll think up more, but Jilly is doing awesome on her own! lol.

An I second the sticky.

Just a little heads up on sheet music, Jill had posted earlier about using for crafts. Sheet music is highly collectable, especially early rock country 60's & 70's. Also even older turn of the century 1900's in good shape some pretty good cash. I would be very reluctant in cutting up sheet music! I found two boxes last year, nicely sealed and labeled, I hadn't even bothered to open them. My mom was over one day at my warehouse, looking for things and she found those two boxes of sheet music. She opened them, and started asking me do you know what you have here? Obviously I didn't, most of it was 1890's to 1910 almost in mint condition. My mom had a friend that has been in the music business his whole life. Him and my mom sold most of them. Kept the most valuable, had them framed, my mom's last year mother's day present. They made a couple of thousand dollars! Don't cut these up or glue them on anything without doing some research.
