Saw this on the ground yesterday...

I purchased a group of these Lajoie Game cards from an Ebay seller who claimed (post sale) that he rescued them from a dumpster. So I guess you can say I have experienced a contact high from secondhand scavenging.

It's incredible what some people throw away. They've had entire Antique Road Show's dedicated to what people have rescued from the trash. Even solid silver pieces.

I have a collection of over 200 smoking pipes, but one of the rarest - a 1920's Peterson clay - came out of a landfill outside of London - dug in the 1970's. After cleaning, I replaced the ferrule with one from a 1950's Pete clay, and the stem from a 1960's briar. It now looks pretty much like it should and smokes wonderfully.
