Am putting this here because of it has a gun picture in it... LOL
Well we did the movie thing and stopped by the co-op to pick up a check and the woman who works the accounts desk ask me if I knew about the estate sale at so and so’s – I had to say no been to busy with other stuff to keep up. So got the address and a if you see any chicken figurines just buy them and I will settle with you next week.
So me and the melons +1 now.... not sure how it happened but I now have 3 partners in crime... the boys and the new neighbor girl. All that to get to here - I told the kids they could spend $10 each and no more. We got all settled in and during the walk thru I spotted some hunting stuff in a back room. Didn’t make much noise but when we got back to the front I ask the girl running the show if they were selling things before the auction. She said yes on some things but a lot of people have been asking about the furniture and a few other things so they will be auctioned only. So I said I saw the hunting stuff in the room but didn’t really look it over and was wondering about it. Well we walked back and I looked at a few things and ask what if I just bought the whole lot and be done with all the looking. She ask if I had an offer, I did and she didn’t even walk away she smiled and said pay the girl at the table and start loading or cover it with a sheet so no one else will try to buy it. I told the kids to start loading - dont look thru it just load it. We got 4 big boxes of stuff loaded and went back to see if they found anything they could afford. LOL the girl found a fishing pole she liked and the boys found a box of the small tonka trucks.. I let the do the haggling and the girl got the pole and a small tackle box for her money and the boys went together and got the truck.. Then I found 4 porcelain chickens but they were for auction only - so we waited and I got them pretty cheap - 1 was a bit high to me but the woman said buy them...
We got home and got a folding table out check out our booty and right off I made a find that made my day... I loaded me and the item back up while the others dug thru the table and boxes.......
Anyway got back and the girl ask if everything was ok and I told her I needed to talk to her about an Item I found in a box. SO we walked to the cat and I showed her a BP derringer that was new unfired in its original box. She told me she knew it was there and as far as anyone knows I bought it so its mine. I smiled and told her some folks would have taken if back and put it thru the second auction tomorrow.. She said the family had went thru everything before they decided on the estate sale so they knew too. So Back to the house I came to do some googling.. So I now own an:
Excalibur LEINAD Inc Model DD double barrel BP derringer. Its not to old because it has the 209 primer nipples in it.. Brand new, unfired - still in the bag in the original shipping box. I took it out for a few pictures and to see if it has a serial number - none found so I will add my own.
It is a heavy little thing bit looks like we are going ot have fun soon LOL.. I do need to get of pistol powder – all I have if RS, FFG and Blackhorn.... Instructions call for FFFG so I may spring for a can of that. I thought I had some but I may have gave it away due to non use. We have other PB sidelock pistols but they are big bores and use the RS, even the Ruger wheel gun uses the RS too. I think the son and son in laws have the small bores...
So here is a picture of the new toy.
