My first fruit (Lime Time!)
« on: September 02, 2015, 10:38:18 AM »
I've been trying to pull back a little bit from acquisitions (turned down a $25 redhead with a chimney recently, a NIB old school Jumbo Joe, $25 OTP, etc...) but I couldn't pass this one up.  A little outside of my normal budget, but it had been stored indoors! And its lime! And it has the cool vintage table (I'm going to put a separate post seeking care advice on that.  (I was really hoping maybe there would be a C&T ring lurking). The woman really didn't want to sell it because it had sentimental value, but they were breaking up her grandfather's house and she said "I know, it has to go".

Once I get it home and clean it a little I'll post more and better pictures.  These are low res from the seller's basement.

Congrats! A lime and the table! Great scores.

I've already got a table, but a limey is on my list, for sure...

I don't have many kettles on the "wish list", but that is certainly one of them!  Congrats on the rescue.


Do you have a picture of the bowl tabs?
