I don't know if the first thing she thought of was me or the wine I could make.
The lady was asking $60 for it and the wife did what she does best, started talking.
All the parts are there. The outer tin, the inside screen and even the wooden handle. It all works too, it just needs a little cleaning.
After the wife was done, she talked the lady down to $10 and took it home.
I checked on ebay and found the same ones for anywhere between $125.00 to $185.00
I hear Watermelon wine calling my name.
Good job by the MRS! I bet that's not the first bargain she brought home either. You better make HER some watermelon wine!

OH my wtg Mrs Modern Day Redneck! Wine sign me up!
ReplyDeleteExcellent deal, looks like it would be worth that much in scrap iron value.
ReplyDeleteWatermelon wine, and grape vines too.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great find! I think I might be a little jealous except I don't drink. I had a problem once with loving it to much.
