As you look down one of the two aisles, you see a lot of stuff.
Old signs like this Todd sign are the kind of thing I expect to see. Was this a seed-corn company at one time? People collect things like this.
I suspect that the Marlboro clocks are also collected.
There is also a lot of stuff that is not collected. This car will probably be bought as a toy for a child.
This train could also be a toy, but it may also be something that people would collect. It is in very good shape for a toy, and it looks older than the car above.
The ultimate in things usable are socks. I doubt if anyone collects them. Well, not intentionally as a collectible.
I thought this lamp was unusual. Would it work for a little girl's room? When I was growing up, we had a round lamp in which the heat of the bulb spun a cylinder. The picture on the outside of the lamp was of Niagara Falls, so it appeared that the falls was in motion. If I saw one in good shape, I would probably buy it. But the fairy lamp presented no such temptation.
The last few times I have looked through the booths, there was a lamp that was made of deer hooves. I did not see it this time. If it had been there, I would have included a picture.I do not know what this figurine is supposed to be.
There were a number of Indian figurines.
And there were at least as many figurines of death.
Is this cat the feline equivalent of the dogs playing poker?
I am too old to know much about the character below, but I do talk to parents who have young kids so I know it is Sponge Bob Square Pants.
I do not think these are really figurines. I think there are whiskey bottles.
Below is a meat grinder. My mother used to have one of these. I do not recall exactly what we ground up, but we used it quite a bit.
I have some antlers that I found in Nevada. Maybe I should buy the deer head and put them on it.
I have saved the best for last--amphibians with mammary glands.
Jasper Junction is a fun place to browse. It is too bad that it is six miles north of town or else I would stop by more often.
