Y'all that know me, know that I love vintage/antique anything, and especially anything RED!
Well, last weekend, I found this little gem:

OMG! It was on a facebook tag sale (so addicting) and it looks like it was never used. I have had so much fun using it. I put a little oil on it as the person said it hadn't been used in forty years, and it works like.brand.new.
Best off was the tag sale, bargain price! I couldn't buy a new one with less charm for what I found it for. Don't you just love when you find a treasure like that? I love "old" things, especially usable ones! They just don't make things as well as they did back in the day. Yup, SO born in the wrong generation!

Nicole , that little sweeper is a keeper for sure! It looks in mint condition too. How do you like how it performs? It has been ages since I saw one of these. Great find!!

What a great find! My daughter has one. She also found an old wooden one at a garage sale for $5.!

That is awesome Nicole! Back in the day I use to own one but mine was green not a beautiful red like yours. Great find!

Nicole,
That is so cool. My parents had one similar to this. I loved using it when I was a kid, and my mom got a clean floor. All three of us kids would fight over using it.
