Auction - The Primitives

auction buys, Kaney Auctions, vintage finds, primitve furniture
When we first arrived at the auction site, I was drooling over the assortment of primitive boxes, spools, tables, and chairs.

I bought tables and benches.





This brown and blue table had a painted canvas top tacked to it.

I could tell it had some pattern, but it was too rotted to save.

It tattered and frayed all the way home on the interstate.

But I may save this idea for a future project.









The extra wide single board top is the attraction here.





















Two small green tables.























Another great bench and a green table.


















A homemade gray ladder with a small blue stool.























This may be my favorite - love the soft green.

Yes, all of them have wonky legs, but that can be fixed.

Yes, all of them are filthy beyond belief, but they can be cleaned.

The trick will be to save the patina while making them presentable.







Four old spools with great graphics and colors.

I have ideas.

















There were a line of these old hand trucks at the auction.

I bought the tiny one which weighs about thirty pounds.

It came in handy for getting the spools to the truck.









I left this buy out yesterday.

J. Chesler & Sons Lock Company ...














For this door lock display!
























Loaded up for the trip back home.

It took several hours for me to unload and find places for all the stuff.






I will doing a post on each big piece as it is finished.

Don't hold your breath!

Auction pics can be found on my FB page (here) if you are interested.




See y'all!

  9. That handtruck rocks!!! I love all of your finds. I agree about the table with the wide board top. Those are not easy to find. I have so much trouble finding time to do every project. I will look forward to seeing yours as they progress.

  10. Lol, i think I'm going to have to remember how sneaky you are. Deals with yourself are all in the details though I guess. Great haul, can't wait to see your truckload of postcards.

  12. I need to tag along with you when you go to auctions. Wow, what a load (literally) of awesome stuff. You'll be busy for quite a while, but it's so worth it. Thanks for sharing at VIP.

  13. Unbelievable! Those tables and benches are awesome. I have a handtruck almost just like that one. My hubs built 3 wooden boxes (from our old fence) and we put them going up the center (evenly spaced) of the handtruck and I planted them this past summer and leaned it against a fence. I got SO MANY compliments on it!! What an auction that must have been to attend!

  20. Nice! Looking at the spools reminds me of my step dad - he was a police office with a side business making nautical and coastal tables and tables. He used to redo those spools back in the 70's when dark stain and thick coats of Varathane were the rage.

  22. Great finds!! Love these vintage treasures. Those spools are incredible too. I had one years ago used as a table outside. It was really huge!
    I am visiting from the Alphabet party link with ECS.
    Have a great week.
