It wasn't so functional when I found it, but after a few screws and washers, and a bit of a clean up, it works again - in a slightly hesitant way, but that's fine by me.
I even love its paint spatters...
For more finds, visit Her Library Adventures... there is talk of a challenge... not sure if my find will fit, but I'm too excited, and wanted to post about it straight away!

YOU CLEVER SPOTTER OF FINE THINGS!!
Oh Catherine - that is a most excellent find! Well spotted! Mont Albert/Canterbury? There's some crazy stuff out there at the moment.
I can't believe someone threw it out. What the???
Oh it's beautiful!! How wonderful YOU found it, couldn't think of it happening to a nicer person.
I have similar, which I got from my late Grandmother.
they are great.
Enjoy xo
wow, lucky you. it truly is a find. i hope i got antennae like yours.
What a great find, it's just beautiful.:)
Fabulous find. Why would someone throw it out, anyway you scored. I have a similar one also but I had to buy mine.
EEK! She's a beauty. Worthy of the evolution of hard rubbish antennae
Wow, that's amazing - such a great find! :)
I really need to hit the op shops and secondhand stores myself, I feel the need to find a bargain! :D
Are you kidding me??? Why, oh why can't people throw out treasures like this in my area??
It is beautiful and I am terribly jealous.
Oh my goodness!
Thats crazy! I've been looking out for one of those for ages. Ended up getting a modern copy from an emporium.
Well done you!!
an excellent find, well done
These old sewing boxes are great! I'm looking for one as big and as cute as the one you've found :)
hesitant, is she? and a beauty!
I was deeee-lighted to find your post. Lovely!
Our local council area produced a map/calendar of where the pickups are. I think I might have to make this my Monday mornings based on what you found here!
I would not have been able to drive after a score like that....would've had to call the hubby to pick us up and drive his delirious wife and her newfound treasure safely home. Well done!
