So, I have been spending some time with mortuary items today. I went to an estate sale last week in Winder and it was of a family who used to own a funeral parlor. Originally, it was downstairs in their home and they lived upstairs. They later moved it out.
Side note: It is a very interesting old Victorian house and currently for sale at a bargain price although it does need updating. Anyways, I bought a bunch of items there including these. I think the family was glad to get rid of them. I bought a folding coffin table/stand and a portable drapery. I also bought some clothing that they would sell to you, new in the box ,and a few old leather bags and cases for embalming. I have to admit, handling them did creep me out a little. I cleaned them very fast and handled them as briefly as I could. I could never work in this field although I do find it interesting. I have some of the things listed on Ebay and the rest will start on Sunday.
I just never know what I may find (or buy) when I go out looking.
