I jave one very similar that I found at a yard sale for $1. It was a touch lamp & that part didn't function. Replaced the wiring & added one of those switches that's a wheel. Work great. 22 years old, at this point.

My wife found something in a similar vein... we have a 4ft tall, massive (and ungodly heavy) red marble vase that sits in the center of our dining room table. She has to get on a ladder to change out her seasonal arrangement that she keeps in it. Picked it up for like $20.

Some people just don’t know or care what they have. We always have a twice yearly large item garbage pickup where we live and people go around finding their own treasures. One man’s trash, as they say. This year my husband, an audiophile, found speakers he says he can resell for $800, on the side of the road. He’s found other stereo equipment in the past and even a decent guitar.

I'd like to add that this guy has traveled across Canada 5 times and no matter what my current decorating style is, he finds a place in my kitchen.

Pottery industry is famous in Egypt, mugs, tea pots , sugar pots etc are familiar ,I have a set of clay pottery like this , they are very cool. In addition ,we used to keep water in clay containers different in size we call them " olla and zeer " our ancestors used them along their life as their ancestors,I think Egyptian use pottery since Pharaohs era. In addition we have clay pots for cooking rice in oven called " bram ",we also have " taagen" for cooking in oven.

My Golden Moccamaster Coffeemaker. Its Original Design Is From 1968, And This Machine Is Regarded As The Best Coffeemaker By Many. Every Single Part Can Be Replaced And Are Still Available In Specialist Shops And Produced In The Netherlands (Where I Live). I Found Mine For Only €5 Because Some Parts Were Missing, No Problem There Then :-) I Absolutely Love It!
