Garage Sale Finds 8/10/2013

Greetings!

Went out for 3 hours on Saturday and found what there was to find!  Nothing too exciting but a few good finds. Take a peak!

Vintage Palco Army / Military / Boy Scout / Camping Canteen - Worcester Pressed Aluminum. Bought this because it fits into many categories of interest, camping, boy scouts, military, hunting. It's vintage and is in nice shape. Has a brand name on it which helps. Paid 75 cents.

Vintage Army / Military / Camping / Field Gear / Canteen with Case for Belt WW2
Purchased for same reason as canteen above. No brand name but has a nice case for it. Paid $1.


 Vintage Mercurial MPC Blood Pressure Gauge - Artery Sphygmomanometer - Army
Not sure on the age of this item but it seems pretty old. Looks like it could be military. Antique medical and scientific instruments are highly collectable. Keep your eyes peeled for stuff like this. Paid $5 - might have over paid a bit. We'll see.

 Vintage Budweiser Bud Trucker Hat - Vintage hats that have popular themes can be a decent find. Haven't had much experience selling them myself but we will see. Budweiser and Harley Davidson are 2 highly collectable name brands plus these don't look like they've been worn. The brims are still straight and over all are in pretty good condition for their age. I wouldn't buy these if they were beat up and if the brims were bent. Paid 10 cents each.

 Vintage Harley Davidson Trucker Hat

 Vintage Chalkware Statue of Hunter with Dog - German/Swedish Hunter - Lederhosen
Don't know much about this piece but it caught my eye. Has a hunting theme, dog, rifle and appears to be vintage and hand made. Seems like it has a European theme with the Lederhosen and the way the hunter is dressed. Took a gamble on this one. Only paid 25 cents so it wasn't really much of a gamble I guess.

 New in Package Michael Jordan Valentines from the 1990s. Rare MJ 23 Memorabilia
Michael Jordan stuff is highly collectable. The only reason I bought these is because the package hasn't been opened. Paid 25 cents.

 2 vintage animatronic halloween decorations with original boxes.
I passed these guys up at a sale on Friday and was kicking myself for it. They seem pretty nice. They are probably from the 1980s and still have their original boxes. The seller was asking for $10 a piece and I took the pair for $14. Might have over paid a bit on these, I will have to do some research on them for pricing.

 Small trinket box of some sort with neat looking design and coat of arms. Also includes key to lock and unlock box.  Nothing too fancy here. No brand name but has a nice design on it. Will probably list it as a 'vintage trinket box with coat of arms' or something like that. Has the key for it so that helps with the value a little. Probably won't make much off of this item. Paid 50 cents.

 Antique Framed Print. Really old looking frame - Original Painting marked "Moran . NA. 1898" but it looks like this was a reprint in 1926. Still pretty old! Paid $5 and might have over paid. But again this has a nice antique frame and a nautical theme so I think it will do alright. We also have the artist and the dates so we will be able to make a decent description.



Total Spent: $26.95
Hoping to make in the range of: $200 - $250.

Happy Hunting!
