Yes! I am very interested in seeing your gear molds and possibly purchasing a couple. Please email me to discuss: junksophisticate@yahoo.com and feel free to send your phone number if that is easier to discuss by.

Thanks so much! Will I be able to see that workshop of yours?? No pressure. ;)

AtticusFinch ~ The headboard idea is actually from Sue's book Decorating JUNKMARKET Style which is like my bible. That gear mold photo still sticks out in my head.

ultrajunk writes: Hello again,
Thanks so much for the support and welcome back. Yes i was quite excited about the find and all were found in the same place..an old closed down school and the gym is packed full of stuff that i will be digging through and buying up all kind of stuff. I could not believe it when the oner opened the door to a full gymnasium full of wonderfull junk goodness. I will be selling off a bunch of them and keeping a few for myself for some projects. I hate to sell them at all..but as you can see they take up alot of room..i have 10 of them cleaned and stuck in my living room at the moment. It took 4 truck loads to get them home. Table tops are a great idea. Just in case anyone is wondering..i am infact a guy lol! seems like there are only a very few on this site. But hey all the better for me! Great to hear from you all. Candy i am also in NE ohio..if you are really interested in a couple.

georgiamoon writes: Whoa Nelly!!! What the??? You found All of these in ONE place. I had never even seen one until I read Sue's book! Is this a regional thing where they have plants (meaning factories...I know they don't grow them) that make gears? We possibly don't have these in California. I can only imagine the thrill you must have felt when you saw all of these incredible, fantastic, gear molds. I think I might have an attack of some sort. Palpitations perhaps? Great find and it seems like things are looking up. I pray that they are, Georgia Posted: 2:10 pm on November 6th

Junk_Sophisticate writes: Sorry to hear you have been going through some bad times but my goodness!!! Talk about extremes! I would be jumping for joy right now!

If you're anywhere close to NE Ohio I know someone that would be a happy buyer if you're interested in resale for a couple! That would be ME, ME, ME!!!

Jumbo headboard is what I envision.

Hope things are better for you - some good junk does usually help (and all of that is definitely over the top!) :) Take care.

To Better Times,

suewhitney writes: Welcome back...we've missed you. I truly hope all is well now. What an amazing find! You are a junker after my own heart. I am fascinated with gear molds. As soon as the sun comes up I'll try to post a picture of the room divider I made with mine.

Be well,
Sue

junkinhart writes: Oh, what a find!!! I've been looking for a few of those myself!

Doesn't a good treasure find just help the bad not seem so bad?

Can't wait to see what you do with all those!! Mimitoria put one on her wall as it with other pictures and it looks very nice....table top......chandelier (with vintage christmas ornaments hanging off of).......OH MY OH MY!!

Have fun,
