Picked this up at a library sale.

Spent last weekend at my in-laws helping with their yard sale. Their sale was part of town-wide sales which, in turn, was part of a larger Hometown Days festival. I stepped out briefly to pick up a couple items at the local grocery store and hit up a yard sale that was getting ready to close down on the final day.

Clearly wanting to unload whatever they could they asked me to make an offer on some men's suits. After humming and hawing a bit they said, "How about $5 each?" This was quickly followed with, "Buy one get one free." Suffice to say, I managed to find a couple 3-piece suits for $5.

A predominantly green, earth tone tweed by Adams Row Richman:

And this western styled piece by Warren Sewell:

Nice! I particularly like the western styled suit.

My wife came home with these yesterday.

A four-way hat stretcher.

Child sized Taos Moccasin Kaibabs for future use by the new granddaughter.

A small Navajo rug.

 

[dh66]

Went straight from the thrifty to the home depot and spent as much on a new cord and socket for this guy, but it was worth it....although I think the pink my little pony hat was the more popular find this afternoon.

Found this little guy at the antique store today. Couldn’t pass it up for this price. Hope it still works.

Found these to rescue today.

Stupid Iphone! Rotated. Anyone know anything about the Kitchenette?

 

[Shangas]

Picked this up last week and spent the weekend repainting some of the tiles.

It's a mahjong set from the 1920s. Made in Shanghai, in China. The tiles are bone and bamboo.

I can't wait to share it with my friends during our Christmas meetup and play a few games with it.

Sets like these often don't survive in anywhere near this sort of state, so this set, being in damn-near-perfect condition, is a rare, rare, piece.

Very early Ducati valve cutters. $30 at pawn shop. I didn't have the heart to talk him down.

 

[RBH]

I picked these salt and pepper shakers up at the local flea market today.
I could not pass them up.
They were made in occupied Japan ( I know not much value anymore) but the fedora shape caught my eye!

Thrift store finds from Friday.

A Bailey 5X for $5.00. Needs a bit of cleaning.

An old mirror for $1.00. It has a hand-done bevel on one edge. Maybe it was cut down from a larger mirror.

A Blue Bell blanket-lined chore coat in my size. 1970s/80s? $5.00.

 

[1930artdeco]

Does it?

Does it?

Nope, it is pretty gummed up inside. I will try and free it up. Eventually she will
Work just fine. I hope.
