Hi.  As part of the continuing saga of "Stuff too good to be thrown
out," I have acquired an option on some things that might be of
interest to Carolingians...I do not actually have this stuff in my
possession, as I am learning a little as I grow older, and decided not
to take it unless I had specific people interested in it...

1) Lots of mirrors.  From 1' x 3' up to 3' x 6'.  Most are roughly 24"
to 30" by 5 - 6 feet.  Some are cloudy, some have chips along the
edges, some have corners missing, some have extensive spots where the
backing has come off -- prices vary accordingly.  Prices range from
$7 - $50; typical 30" x 6', not badly clouded, would go for about $25.
These are thick plate glass; commercial quality mirrors.

2) Yet another industrial sewing machine.

3) Bunches and Bunches of tuxedoes, many sizes.  These are the dregs,
mostly either polyester or styled in a currently unpopular fashion.
Dirt cheap; the rag dealers have already refused them...various
different colors.

4) Clothing racks.  Various sizes and shapes; some stand alone, some
built in pipe systems.  Tons of pipe and fixtures if you need to build
your own permanent built-in racks.

5) Display cabinets.  Glass front, plywood construction, glass
shelves.  Cheap.

6) Many various-sized pieces of thick (3/8") glass, intended for use
as shelves.  lots of them are roughly 14" by 4'.

7) Sundry lumber -- old doors, various broken things.  Remember...*I*
didn't want it...maybe I shouldn't even mention this stuff.

8) Bow ties, vests, cummerbunds, in various *in*teresting colors.

9) "Blind Stitcher" or "Blind Hemmer" -- for hemming things, a machine
that uses a special stitch to sew halfway through the cloth, so the
seam isn't visible from the good side.  There are a couple of these;
prices are not firm but the newer one is in the $600 range, and the
older one is in the $350 range.  Both have been recently overhauled
and are in good operating condition.  This type of machine goes for
$1200 and more when new.

10) half dummies - intended for display of jackets and shirts.

11) A 6 foot diameter, very solidly built, round, white formica topped table.

12) A couple of heavy safes -- smallest is the size of a two drawer
file cabinet, and is fireproofed; other sizes and shapes.

13) Tables -- a couple 30" x 6' or 7'.  Beech or something like it,
with a non-descript linoleum inset in the top.  Good work tables; not
fancy.
