Little treasures found today

I found these little treasures today. Two matchbox holders.

Which one should I use in the Shasta?

Little tin one has an old ad on it. The wooden one a rooster
The old ad HC Scholl General Merchandise Henryville, IN


The votes are in:

I'll be using the tin one in Rosie

Thanks for your votes

Shining Day

It has been a cool day. So I decided it was a good day to do some shining. I started with the screens.

Not quite after, still need to add screen



And moved to the hand pump faucet


Before


After
Continued with shining the cabinet pulls and hinges


And finished with the cabinet round and sink trim


 It's off the Home Depot to purchase screen tonight!

Counter top still looks great

My daughter, Katie, spent quite a bit of time cleaning the counter top with Goo Gone. As you can see I don't need to replace the laminate.




The counter top is a pale yellow with gold flakes


I am including a picture of the vent that I have been polishing. I haven't tried removing the screen yet to replace it. I'll most likely need some luck in removing the screen.


The screen looks pretty good in the pic. Believe me it needs to be replaced!
One last thing, I received my magazine rack in the mail yesterday. Thanks to a member's father, of the Vintage Shasta Trailer Forum. He did a fantastic job!

I applied a couple of coats of shellac
