So i bought the property next door lot stock and barrel . The place is loaded with antiques . The old guy was a collector of everything ,mostly rocks . There is an old fallen down barn i have been rummaging through just full of stuff . Inside the hay barn ,the roof has fallen flat to the floor ,i came across 2 old boat motors . I was able to pull out the bigger one ,it is a 1958 Johnson 18 hp electric start. Still easily turns over with strong compression ,i think i got this one running for the guy about 20 years ago . The other motor is still buried but i did reach in a get a pic . Cant wait to see what else is in there .i have pulled out an antique table and a bunch of 1920 - 1930s ball canning jars and a few other oldies .

Dude, you need to contact American Pickers or someone like that! I'd say clean the cabinet, but don't do much "restoration" on it until you get an estimate on it's possible value. Same with the Ball jars.

That table would definitely be worth a lot of you wanted to unload it. Genuine mid-century modern furniture is all the rage these days.

I think i will go with a 40s early 50s theme inside the house ,may do up the kitchen as a 50s diner with black and white checkerboard flooring
