Good morning folks.

The two ladies that stayed at our house are back in town but they are staying at the house they are cleaning out for the estate sale. They are still finding stuff that has been hidden away for many years. Yesterday my wife called and ask that I come over after I get off work to check out two guns they found. All the knew is one was a pistol and one was a shotgun. The were smart enough not to pull the trigger to see if it was loaded but none of them wanted to touch them long enough to see if they were loaded. The smart thing is they put them aside.

The shotgun was an old hardware store model with a broken stock. It was filthy and had some sort of home made repair around the stock behind the trigger. The good news is it was unloaded.

The pistol was a very small hammerless 38 revolver. The cylinder was loose and it was the type that you had to pull the pin from the middle of the cylinder and the cylinder came out. It was likely a pocket carry piece for someone who carried it a LOT. It was covered in surface rust and very worn out. It really looked like a cheap Saturday night special of the 1940s. The one thing I know about collecting spoons is condition is most important and this one was in bad shape and not worth much of anything. The husband of the lady that inherited knows spoons so he will look at them and sell them as he sees fit. That shotgun is just a wall hangar. The pistol would take a lot of work to make it look decent and I doubt it is worth it.
