There's something for EVERYONE in this PACKED HOUSE!

Absolutely packed home with treasures collected by an automotive engineer with an eye for American-made, high-quality goods. This mechanical genius had many, many interests and built, tinkered with and repaired a huge variety of items. He also ran out of time to fix other items that are waiting to be finished, repurposed or upcycled … perfect for those who love to tinker or repair, and still others who collect steampunk, art deco or art nouveau, unique, wonderful and fun objects. Bargain hunters, crafters, Mid-Century Modern fans and creatives who appreciate historical, cool items, findings, watch and clock movements, housings and parts, etc., will have a blast walking through this home and picking out treasures.
