Y'all that know me, know that I love vintage/antique anything, and especially anything RED!
Well, last weekend, I found this little gem:
https://www.facebook.com/suburbanfarmgirlblogger/photos/a.113390295661927.1073741830.111153792552244/268014636866158/?type=3&theater
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!
Farmgirl Hugs,
Nicole

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.

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!

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

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!!
