1-4 vintage Electrolux vacuums (Ann Arbor near Hillside Terr.)
They were all purchased between 1947 and 1970. One of them came from my mother, and two from my partner's relatives. People sell parts for them at eBay. They all work but the rusty one that doesn't have a power cord, which you can probably buy cheaply at eBay. We found that one at the curb. There are three cloth bags for two of them and paper bags for all of them. The two turquoise ones have power heads that work. One winds up the power cord by itself. Let me know when you will come and I will tell you more about them then. I can send you close up photos before you come. They will be on the porch so I will take photos only during the day. I will also list the vacuum cleaners at another Ann Arbor site.

all wood rolling pin (Ann Arbor near Hillside Terr.)
Gifted
the rolling pin looks like it is made of oak. there are some very small holes in it. I read online about pinholes. "These are tiny bubbles in the finish that turn into pinprick-size holes when you sand the surface level. You can tell the problem is pinholes and not bubbling caused by dust nibs or too much air pressure when spraying if all the bubbles are located just over pores. Pinholes occur most often in larger pored woods such as oak and mahogany."
