Yet another winter Estate Sale

I will just say, I think my hands attained permanent damage from the cold. Of course this estate sale had outdoor barns we had to go in... The wind was only over 30 mph giving a windchill below -5. You do what you have to do! This estate sale has some history behind it. It was a family farm in the middle of practically no where, the snow drifts were the worst I have ever seen taking these country roads during the horrible winter storm (I won't even go into the driving part of this adventure). The farm has been in the same family since 1867, which is significant because that's the year Michigan became a state. From the pictures online (645 of them) it seemed to be a HUGE sale. I think it was a little exaggerated, I didn't walk out with very much. 

I walked out with this retro pitcher with cool swirl design on it.

I also walked out with this small Tupperware set, which in all honesty I have never seen before, and I have seen my fair share of vintage Tupperware. 

And then there was this! What an amazing find, a Rembrandt lamp. This sleek looking lamp with the great detail on the neck was in the barn... It probably has been for YEARS. The brass plating is pitted badly, and the entire base has turned to a rusty brown. At one time this lamp was probably top of the line. I have yet to see the standing lamp, I have seen numerous table lamps on eBay that match.

I will of course be steel wooling this lamp up and restore it, of course I won't be able to get that brushed brass look, but it's better than pitted brass plating. Another summer project? I'm going to be overloaded.
