Auction finds!!!

My BIG score of the day was finding a mint set of twin star silverware in the wooden box in the cardboard box and buying it for 10 bucks!!! SCORE!!! The 50's globe was $1.00, the chrome table and chairs was $3.25 and a box of 50's table runners for $4.00.

O found this at Salvation army yesterday. I thought that $1.99 was a fair price for a gabardine western shirt.

Have you checked the prices on Ebay for those? Last time I looked, a shirt like that would fetch around $200. What a score.

And ...

$3.25 for that table and chairs? Not $325? Even that would be ultra cheap in California!

I think that tie is from the 90s, the colors are loud but fun. I like the design a lot.

Thanks for the nice words:D , the tie is 100% silk and I have two nice vintage style suits one grey and one blue that I'll pair it up with.

Boy I don't know about beating your $3.25 deal for the table and chairs. Last weekend I found a set for my friend for $100 and thought that I was doing well.

Yeah, I needed that table like a hole in my head but the price I couldn't walk away from and nobody else wanted it, so it would have gotten junked!

If I told you all how many CHEAP vintage table and chairs I come across at auctions on a regular basis, it would make you cry.

I know I see them often as well. Unfortunately we have no room or them. We have a set of gray cracked ice stuck in the attic at my job. Crazy!

I got so jealous looking at everyone's great stuff I thought I would pop into Savers tonite. I didn't think I would do as well as I did.

I have no idea the age of these but they look so 50s. Any ideas? I just love them and I can't wait to recover the seats.

1950s Deforest dishes:

It's missing the center bowl but I'm not gonna complain about it.

I´ve found my nearly-ideal jacket today in a second-hand shop. It´s not vintage, but the lapels...oh, the lapels! I thought it´s imposible to find this in my size. And the price? 4 USD

What does your Dritz form look like?

If I need to change a measurement I have to reach up inside and unscrew the bolt of any area I want to change, push or pull the corresponding panel, measure around, repeat process until I get the correct dimensions. :eusa_doh: I think I'd like one where I had to simply twist a dial.
(I knew I had a picture of it somewhere.)
