The things we can find in garages!





So Rose’s dad was a Model T nut, expert restorer, avid collector. When he passed away a couple of years ago, she got the joy of rediscovering all his treasures. We have both learned more about antique car parts than we ever expected. Our gentlemen friends are impressed so that is plus. 
Would you believe this is a headlight lens?  It is lovely! The starburst pattern is etched and it is a slightly concave lens. Now I hate to be greedy and I am already confiscating a radiator that was not in usable condition for a fountain, but this is just too pretty.  I am thinking sun catcher wrapped in a brass frame? Or maybe something with candles?  I just can’t picture this on the front of a car traveling down dusty roads at the break neck speed of up to 30 MPH.
Five down only three garages full of 'stuff' left to go through - who knows what we will find next!!
