Nice find on the box. Would have been nicer full but empty is still okay in this case. I used to have the Winchester model 94 Buffalo Bill Commemorative, it was a very straight shooting gun.
 

I too have done really well with the Cathrineholm enamelware. Thanks for sharing. I wish I knew more about lamp shades and lamps prices are all over the place. Nice finds
 

Hmmm...little pot looks like part of a fondue set. Great buys!

Yes I believe you are correct. Found one & they described it as having a chalkboard like outer finish with white enamel interior, It was a complete set made in Japan from the 60's.

Ya Tho my profit margin will be much higher it being the box only at $0.50 & selling at $100+. If the box were full around here it would not have bee priced at a give away price. People don't sell guns cheap around here!

The lamp shade isn't all that special but it is in very nice condition. It's in as good of shape as you will find in this style & age of painted metal shade. Might be worth $20 to $25 tops but I restore + just straight up build a lot of lamps so it's worth having for that reason alone.
 

good finds! just keep in mind that it will cost about 25-30 bucks to ship it usps. even though it is empty, the length will make you pay a premium.
