Junkin' time~is a good time!!!!

Hi everyone~I managed a quick junkin' trip a few days ago.  I went to some stores that had been told to me but I hadn't made it there yet.  I found these 5's for my five wall.  The one on the L being an old house number or mail box number and the one on the R is a brass stencil.  The spool is white thread and it was only $5 so it came  home with me too.

These are printer's blocks ~ one wood and the other metal.  The store had boxes of them but I didn't like the prices:(!!!

I was so excited to find these.  I got them home and they are missing 7 letters~ ugh!!!  Lesson learned~keep it contained {excitement inside} until you make sure all the parts are there. :):):) Paid way to much!!! Don't ask me either { I mean how much I paid}:):):)

These look so 1950's to me.  I can only wonder what they were used for. If anyone knows something about them, I would love to hear from you.  I thought they were so colorful and unique!!!
