    While these were passive finds at CurbCo, once I picked up an all steel vintage Youngstown kitchen sink and vanity. Single basin with place for drying rack to the right which drains back into the sink. **** good shape, very restorable, in fact I'm keeping the finish original. Wheeled it home three blocks down the hill with an appliance dolly. Put it in my homebuilt motorhome project still in progress.

    Another time I scored an antique brass instrument with case in good shape. I believe it was used in high school band in the mid '60's. It's some kind of horn or trumpet. Can't find a manufacture mark but it says Germany on it. It's engraved with the name of the music shop which likely sold it, in Chicago. Silver plated so it's likely a higher end instrument. Cannot find a pic online that resembles it. Still have it. Reluctant to take it to be looked at in person before I know exactly what it is. could possibly be worth thousands. I'll try and get some pics of it.
