Garage Sale and Thrift Store Finds 9/18/13 - 9/19/13
Greetings!
Grabbed a few items over the past few days. Here's what I snagged:
Metal Marks Deluxe Lamp - Paid $2.
Jack Daniels Clock in Wooden Box. Paid $2.
3 old Revolutionary War Prints. Paid $3. Was thinking I could sell the 3 together as a lot, or maybe throw them in frames (I have a few antique frames lying around already - not sure if these will fit or not though.
Pair of Nocona Cowboy Boots - Paid $5.
Calendar from 1982 with some nice imagery. Thinking about framing some of these as well. FREE BOX.
Vintage electric razor/scissors in kit. Looks like it says "fostoria" but I'm not sure. Will have to research. Paid $.25 cents.
1982 ET Puzzle. Paid $.25 cents.
Metal Lighthouse Candle Holder that says "Keeper of the light". Paid $1.
Nautical Popout ship in frame ... Paid $2. Took a risk on this thing, don't know much about it. It's marked 1959 in the corner. Not sure if that is the production date or not yet.
2 Antique Perfume Pump Atomizers. One has a star pattern, the other is amber glass. $5 for the pair. Might have made a mistake on these.
Antique Jewelry Box mae od glass and brass. Transparent with little pillow inside. Really cool looking. Paid $2.

Thrift Store Finds and My First Auction - 9/17/13
Greetings!
Made a quick stop at a thrift store on my lunch break yesterday. Grabbed a few things:
Ceramic Candle Holder Marked Harley 1882. I don't think the 1882 signifies year unfortunately. Will have to do some research. Paid $1.50.
Antique American Plastic Toy Inc. Sailboat - Paid .50 cents
Pair of Homco plastic Hummingbirds / wall decor. Paid $1
Pair of 1970s Ceramic Pilgrims. Paid $2.
I had a great time at my first auction last night. Didn't bid on anything or purchase anything but I learned a lot. I did find some items in the dumpster afterwards though. So at least I didn't leave empty handed!
Antique/Vintage Stuffed Tiger Toy. FREE
Vintage Jacket with Unicorn Patch. FREE
Denver Broncos Mug (1990s). FREE

Thrift Store Finds 9/11/2013
Greetings!
Made a quick run to a thrift store on my lunch break today:
Rubber Jason Voorhees Mask with fabric costume. It's gonna be tough to sell this given my extremely painful love of horror, but gotta do it! Paid $6.99 which is a little steep, but with Halloween around the corner people will totally be into it (I hope - if not ... guess I'll have to keep it!).
Dr. Marten boots. These are higher then ones I normally find and I believe more valuable. Excellent used condition - Paid $13. ALWAYS BUY DR. MARTEN BOOTS! (not necessarily the low cut shoes though ... haven't sold any of those yet).
Cumbres & Toltec Scenic RR Hat. Paid .79 cents. This is my favorite time of year for thrifting because they always bring out giant pils of Halloween 'costumes' which often times is old clothes, hats and accessories. You gotta dig but sometimes it's worth it!
Vintage 1973 Wooden sign that says LOVE and has cupids by Americana Decorative Wall Plaques (Wallace Berrie & Co. Inc.) Just looks awesome - paid .50 cents.
Vintage Skeleton Key Wall Decor with Fabric backdrops. Set of 3 for $1.50. No brand name, this could be hit or miss. We'll see.
Traveling Minstrel/Musician piece of art. Signed but can't make it out. Will have to do some research. I just think this is cool and I might keep it. Paid $1.
Antique Spats. Paid $1.99. Not sure how I will do on these.
1914 Print by John Duncan "Children of Lir" in Antique frame. Paid $1. I think this will do well if the right buyer comes along. Very cool!
