NYC's finest

.....so with my body clock taking a hammering, I was on the street early morning in New York this Sunday past. Met some very cool characters, and turned up some real cool finds. Intended as more of a research trip, but I could not resist an early morning tour of the NY flea markets, thought I would share some of the treasures that I turned up in Hells Kitchen and Brooklyn.

The next lot will be kicking off our jewellery collection at 14 Earlham Street from next week, strictly one off pieces from reclaimed metal works, so don't hold back!

The next was the killer find for me. A NYC policeman's file from 1930's to 1950's. Forming a complete record of his career including mug shots, newspaper cut outs of cases he solved, bad guys he caught, fingerprints the lot. More from this when I have had more time to go through it all!
