Going, Going, Gone!

Auction finds, Antique Uniques Auction, vintage finds, soda crates, canning jars
Another Saturday night at the auction.

Antique Uniques Auction  (FB page HERE) is fast, fun and friendly.


 
In order to get my hands on the blue felt Scottie with the 1939 calendar from Dominica, the vintage milk caps, and the sweater clip ...




I had to buy these.

Don't you love the tiny metal sculpture of the man on the toilet?










Large red doll trunk.

Brown porcelain door knob/lock set.

Dog nutcracker. 

(Our dogs crack their own nuts - they are especially fond of the pecans and hickory nuts in the backyard - yes, I know they are NOT supposed to eat nuts.) 

A silverplate ice bucket - I named it Beth for a friend who likes ice buckets.

Guess what?  She came in Tuesday and bought it!






In order to get my hands on the crate, I had to buy all the bottles.

Not a bad deal - they are mostly from bottling plants decades gone.







Casters!!!

Lots of casters!!! 

Remember last auction I bought porcelain and iron casters? (READ HERE)

Well, I bought more.






More casters!!!

The ones pointing left are wood and metal.

The ones pointing right are all metal.









Ridiculous you say?

NO, just MORE casters!!!

Odd assortment of different types.




I had to buy the whole tin to get my hands on the giant one.

(I would have bought them all anyway.)





The auctioneer looked at me and said, "She wants them if nobody else does."

Casters - these from a mechanic's creeper.

Never thought about collecting these.

Look at the rusty beauties.




I had to buy all of these, to get my hands on ...













A Pepsi crate - made in February, 1972.

Yes, most crates are dated.

I do love the jars!






 

I had to buy all of this to get my hands on ...













 
Another Pepsi crate.

This one is in rough shape and needs a thorough cleaning. I hope to find the date legible.






I had to buy the vintage enamelware urinal to get my hands on the Olympic Thermos picnic jug.



The jug is so clean, I could fill it with ice water and use it right away. 

The urinal - not so much.






A Navy duffel bag.

A child's spade.

A large shovel head - the handle is toast.














My two favorite finds.

A large galvanized funnel with a red stripe.

A large grain bin drawer.


 

Thanks, Tommy and Bob and all the staff at the auction!

Y'all do a great job entertaining us on a Saturday night.

And we come home with treasures galore.

Just look at my casters!



See y'all!

Five Dollah, Five Dollah, Sold!

Auction, Antique Uniques, vintage finds
Antique Uniques (FB HERE) inaugural auction was a blast!

Love Bob the auctioneer.




Quick as a speeding bullet.

Five dollah, five dollah, SOLD!

Two sets of iron and porcelain casters.

Need cleaning.





 Farm implements.




















Two 1974 Chattanooga Coca-Cola crates in great condition.














Four large rusty wire baskets once used by a local swimming hole in the locker room.













Three baskets in need of makeovers and a large scoop.














A Victorian clothes hanger.

Haven't a clue how to use it.

Any ideas?










I really wanted this Queen Elizabeth tin.

Each side shows photos of her early days.

I wasn't quite fast enough and ...











Had to buy the Japanese scribe to get the tin.

Oh, well.









 







What is this contraption all folded up?








Four legs fold out with casters.

The pole telescopes  higher.

It is army green and very heavy.

Has a small metal pocket.














Chucks and I thought an IV stand.

However one of the dealers at the mall served in the army film corps and said it was a photographic light pole. 

Thanks, Marlene!


Would make a great standing lamp.







Four peach orchard baskets with the lids. 













Made in Little Rock.



















My favorite purchase of the night?

This metal medicine cabinet with the glass knob and beveled mirror.








The inside is galvanized metal goodiness.

Yes, goodiness is a word.


I know you are wondering why the finds on Wednesday.





I must confess to shopping all weekend long so there must be FOUR posts!!!

Enjoy.


See y'all!
