Hands Down Best Thrift Store Find Ever!

That's right is't a vintage vibrator.  This is like most of my interests all rolled up into one little package.  I got old school graphic design, product design, "sex toy" design (massager yeah right) and I found it at the thrift store for less than $5.00.

It's missing a couple of the attachments but it still works.  I'll be making a frame to display this on the wall.

So I found this shear at the local thrift store the other day.  I'm still trying to figure out what it was originally used for (and what I can use it for).  It was tagged $4.99 and was 50% off of that; how couild I go wrong?  It's made of heavy cast aluminum and has a rotating shear to cut "stuff".  I have found it takes 1/32" off of the edge of a piece of poster board at a time.  Yeah, I'm going to have to file this one under "shit my wife wants me to get rid of".
