Ribtor closes today forever at 4 pm. Last chance to grab your vintage goods and explore a piece of history. My favourite part of the sale was seeing everyone’s smiles, watching them explore and hearing what their next project would be. I will miss this place. #ribtor โค๏ธ

When I first saw this little old tool I thought it was the prettiest thing in the warehouse. So pretty in fact that I placed it on its own shelf. It became a game where I would search to see if it had been moved or bought. After weeks it went missing. I was delighted that it had found a new home, but I also felt a little sad my little game had ended. I always said that if it was there at the end of the sale I would take it home. Two days ago it reappeared!!! Howard, our store manager, had taken it for a little maintenance and shine and the results are amazing!!! ๐ •

Full disclose, I have no idea what this old tool does. Let me know if you know #whatitis ๐๐

I have to give some love to our pulley systems!!! They help you lift heavy objects. They make a great science project. If you are a teacher, someone who works with kids or have kids yourself, the never ending imaginative play these pulleys would provide would be so amazing. We have a huge selection of sizes and styles available ๐
•
•
I have to give a big shout out to the customer, aka “hand model” for helping me demonstrate how big that pulley was. He could see my dilemma and offered to display his hand. Thank you ๐๐

These military straps are so practical. They can be used for camping, yoga mats, securing tools to the back of a truck, organization...the ideas and possibilities are limitless. And for $2.00 it is a bargain for a quality made product. •

We have a variety of belts, shoulder harnesses and straps. They can be found next to the 25 gallon stock pots. Yes, you read that right, 25 gallons!!!!

I get very excited when we open a new box. Usually it is a marked crate, but on rare occasions we open unmarked boxes and that by far is my FAVOURITE!!! You never know what you will find at #ribtor. •

We have 18 vanity mirrors left. Some are on display and the others are in their original crate. If you would prefer an unopened crate let Howard, our store manager, know. The mirrors are gorgeous and would be perfect for storing jewelry ๐

The first prototype dates back to 1714. The first commercially successful typewriter, the Sholes & Glidden Type Writer, was developed in 1878. Unfortunately, it was only able to type in CAPITAL LETTERS. The Sholes and Glidden typewriter was quickly surpassed by the Remington Typewriter that used the QWERTY layout, which allowed the user to use both upper and lower case letters.

Vintage clothes!!! Ribtor has over 9,000 square feet of vintage military goods and hardware supplies, but I bet you didn’t know that we also have a small retro clothing area.
Thank you to our friends that modelled some of our clothes during our first Upcycle Challenge. I loved hearing your ideas and can’t wait to see the final “new” products!
We will have another challenge in the New Year. In the meantime, come check us out Tuesday - Saturday from 9 am - 4 pm.

This is a Refractor Metre!!!! #whatisit #howdoyouuseit
Because I am kind I googled it for everyone. Drum roll please........... A refactor metre is an instrument used for measuring concentrations of aqueous solutions. It measures the degree the light changes direction, called the angle of refraction. It is a tool commonly used in the food, agricultural, chemical, and manufacturing industries.

There’s a wrench for everyone โค๏ธ “Never try to plan
Your life out,
Because without
A doubt,
a wrench will
Be thrown in,
A heavy one,
Not always
Necessarily bad,
But a test of sorts
Brought about
By fate,
To see how you
Choose,
Which way you
Will go,
Just when you
Think your life
Is set in stone,
A wave rolls
In to break
The still,
Sometimes
It's love
That breaks
The still,
To risk it
All following
Your heart,
Or to stay
Still
And never
Know
At all.”
