<p>[QUOTE="hockeyoutlaw, post: 241785, member: 4777"]So my husband has forte for finding various items that look old and he thinks are antique. Now since I really do not have any background or knowledge of what is and what is not i usually have to take his word, but i do not think an object shows age means antique and value plus he is wanting me to make them look nice. I am not sure if i should paint and stain some of the older items and make them look pretty like he says or just leave as is and sell in a rummage sale. Most of the items he finds are from old grain elevators since the company he works for that is where they usually do work. He also likes old metal signs not sure if they have any value he said yes but might as well ask about that. So I uploaded some pictures and if anyone can give me a some feedback i would really appreciate it and so would my garage. Thanks</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]73961[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]73962[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]73959[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]73960[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
