Things I Found in March and April














I often find tools. The hammer and screwdrivers were scattered about, at the intersection of Hoover and Jefferson. I resisted laziness, scrambling from the car whilst stopped in the left-hand turn lane.




I'm keeping the screwdrivers in the pickup--for what else--salvage opportunities.







Front door hardware.




Art nouveau influenced. Found near Washington and 4th.
Douglas Company bowl. Found near LaFayette Park Place. The Douglas motto was "cheapest is best".

There's nothing I'd rather salvage than plumbing. Maybe lighting, which I almost never find, chiefly because most fixtures fit quite easily into the black collection can.

If only the city would switch to clear plastic refuse containers!
