A day trip to Cawthorne Antiques shop today was fun. I didn't get anything but enjoyed the assortment. See what you think.
Lovely stackable tins by Chad Valley.
Stacks of books on model railways.
Old Books, books, books
Hornby O gauge and more
And finally a bizarre item, a painting allegedly done by a Kray twin as a child.
Further on from Cawthorne we saw these Swan boats on a lake. I've never seen swan boats before. Have you?
That Mack Truck Bulldog brings to mind the golden idol in the opening sequence of the Raiders of the Lost Ark.
ReplyDeleteSwan boats - been peddling one on Vltava river in Prague. Boys on the bank playing ball kicked it into the river, and I recall thinking International Rescue when our Swan Patrol retrieved it!
Ha ha, the golden idol! Oddly enough I watched Temple of Doom yesterday. It was my least fave Jones but it's growing on me Arto!
DeleteI used to buy a lot of used books on a regular basis. And I've seen and ridden in swan boats. Can't remember where.
ReplyDeleteWhich type of books Baron?
DeleteScience fiction, fantasy, history, art.
DeleteLuv the Hornby O trains Woodsy! The swan boats are quite interesting - don't recall seeing anything like those outside of an amusement park.
ReplyDeleteCamperdown park in dundee used to have a flotilla of swan boats back in the 60's
