I'll buy that 36" piece from you if you go back for it. PM me if you want to work something out.Skipper1953 wrote:At a garage sale, I picked up two 24" pieces of 3" stainless tubing with sanitary fitting on both ends. I got the pair for $20.00.

Re: Anybody get any good deals lately?
Scored a couple really nice whiskey decanters for 50 cents each at a garage sale this morning. There was also this big ass crystal shaker in the box, thrown in free. No idea what its for, folks who REALLY like salt or pepper maybe? It makes the decanters look small, but they are fifth and liter sizes.
In theory there's no difference between theory and practice. But in practice there is.

Re: Anybody get any good deals lately?
Maybe the salt shaker is for tequila? Good price on older decanters I never store my booze in them but will use them for serving as some of those have lead in the glass.
Just sayin!

You can tell the leaded ones by sound and color. The leaded crystal has a higher longer ring and a purple tint.

I used to boil lead and cast 50 Cal maxiballs. And soldering electronics my whole life, holding the solder in my teeth. Decanter is the least of my worries

It's a sugar shaker/ muffineer, not a salt shaker Nice score jimbo.Jimbo wrote:Scored a couple really nice whiskey decanters for 50 cents each at a garage sale this morning.

The one on the left is definitely cut lead crystal, I can't see the middle one very well but it looks like it might be pressed soda glass. If you have a black light it might tell you, bright white is old lead crystal, sickly green is old soda glass, no glow at all (black) is more modern and harder to be sure.
Look closely at the bottoms of the pieces, tilting them to see if they have any acid etched markings, I'm thinking that left one probably has one, If you find one post a pic and I'll see if I know who made it for you, It could be fairly valuable.
Have I ever mentioned I have a small decanter collection

We are proud of the shine we make.
And there ain't a chance in hell it's got any lead in it.......
I'll be damned if I'll leave it in glass that has lead in it.....
Re: Anybody get any good deals lately?
Damn it guys.... I couldnt keep my Triple smoke in the decanter. Every time I looked at it I heard bushmans words, figger Im damn lucky to have made it this far, why keep tempting fate....

Re: Anybody get any good deals lately?
I don't keep any of mine in decanters either but they sure look nice when they have some in them.
Re: Anybody get any good deals lately?
Some of that crystal can be up to %40 lead. I wouldn't want to use those ones but, I really don't want to use the uranium glass decanters.

Re: Anybody get any good deals lately?
I was having company over the weekend, and was unable to locate the leaves (which hadn't been used in at least a decade) for my antique oak dinner table. I went to the local DIY store at the last minute and stared wide-eyed for a few minutes at the $7.50/lf 1x12 oak before deciding to look around for alternatives. I found a beat up sheet of MDF of the right thickness on a 70% off cart that had a couple good edges on it, so I dragged it over the the saw and asked the operator to cut it to size for me. It turns out that the sheet was not actually a product that they sell, but packing material for other wood, so he cut it to size and gave it to me for no charge. Not exactly still related, but really made my day.

Got these ss martini glasses for free. They could make a nice little bubble ball or just a bunch or reducers. Never know what I might do.
