I love it!! I grew up in small town in southern Ohio and my sister and BIL owned a hardware store that had been in town over a 100 years.....No, not them, the store.......<G>
It was an institution in the town, and when they retired, the store closed.......
Thanks, David

I used to work in an old hardware store like that. The floors creaked. They had a wooden bins for the screws and nails that you had to weigh on a very old scale. I still go there when I need one or two of something.
They are the only store I know that has 12-24 screws. And an old box of square head lags laying on the top shelf.
And the old kind of Red Devil paint shaker.
