Gleaning at the City Dump #52

I've been hoping to find an old foosball game in the dump that I could take apart and reuse in one of my pieces.   I did find a small tabletop version...not exactly my first choice:

I hit the jackpot a few days ago, grabbing the full size model almost as it was being thrown from the truck (yes, I'm getting bold).

Combining these foosball player pieces with the old airplane engine, a broken doll, a small drawer, newspapers, etc., I've  just completed a new piece.  The lower half is covered with glass.

Lucky you finding the foosball table. Love the pieces you are doing with the little men.

I have a little hoard of foosball men myself that I am slowly using in my assemblages. I found two tables a couple of years back and none since then! They are precious.As always Greg love your work!

Hi Grant, yes the foosball game was something that I had actually been looking for at the dump. I didn't actually find the entire game itself, just the plastic men on those long steel bars. I have a few weeks left of gleaning...might just find more!
