The Rusty Bucket antique place has cool stuff at fair prices.This old rasp works great. I used it on 2 builds in progress.Prince Albert will go on a 2 string diddley bow.Linda wanted a fancy schmancy mixer. I found this for her in stead. This will work when the power is out. Going to be a great surprise.

Thanks guys. $30.00 for the lot and I've used the rasp and have the prince almost done as a 2 string canjo. I seem to like eggbeaters and have 3 now. I guess I will continue looking for interesting ones and maybe work toward a dozen.
Bug, that Prince Reso Rasp looks cool and quite a bit like the canjo I am making.
Pretty cool stuff there, John. My wife and I have been antique (junk shop) fans for many years. Sometimes it's just a "in and out" because of price or lack of anything interesting but you periodically hit the motherload of tasty crap ;)
Unrelated to CBG pieces parts, I found this gem on a 50% off rack this spring traveling down the river valley in Iowa. I'm not sure but pretty sure I'm the first one one the block to own a chicken salt and pepper shaker with the image of Conway Twitty affixed to it. I tried to walk away from it twice but couldn't. I'm going to leave it to my kids in the will.

Ron, we do the same. I like the chicken.
