I promise, folks, I am really only buying a few small things.
I am concentrating on filling a single box instead of my truck.
A vintage glass Mixmaster batter bowl.
Cream and sugar once silverplated.
Triangular brass cricket box.
The tiny red book behind the box is a Book Of Mormon.
I did not have a small one in my collection so it is a keeper.
Two sconces that complement each other, but are not identical.
They look like Italian tole, but are not marked.
A utensil basket.
Two divided Buffalo china plates.
Maybe cafeteria.
Maybe diner.
Definitely heavyweights.
The clerk sold this "picture frame" to me for half price.
Yes, it is a primitive cabinet door frame instead.
Beautiful patina.
With all the original hardware.
Plus someone had cleaned and waxed it.
Chicken wire, chalkboard, tin - all would look great on this.
I am selling it like it is for someone to buy herself a project piece.
I am continuing to add to my ephemera collection to sell.
I had gotten woefully low on photos, postcards, and letters.
This is a great group of 100 vintage snap shots from about 1920 to 1950.
I will scan these to make merchandise tags, then sell.
Other items I am buying are large lots of cabinet photographs.
I found these on eBay.
It seems in January ephemera dealers offer large lots at fantastic prices.
I did find a couple of pieces of furniture, but you will see them when I get a chance to sand and paint.
This weekend is loaded with estate sales and auctions.
I am trying to decide which way to go.
East or West?
North or South?
See y'all!

I love the old cabinet door "picture frame." I took your advice and I'm browsing ebay for large lots of ephemera to sell. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are some great finds. I especially love the old photos for ephemera since I do a lot of paper crafting. What a great find - will have to look into ebay and see what they have. Thanks for sharing. Cathy
ReplyDeleteI always love to see your finds. The 'picture frame' is so awesome. I love the old photos also. Happy Friday.
