@cxgirl - TY for showing the birchbark biting & the explanatory paperwork - I learned something very cool today!

 

I've never seen one before, quite amazing how it is made

I didn't show a photo of the whole thing, it is framed

 

Found a box of pinbacks yesterday marked "buttons $5". I opened it thinking sewing buttons and found these instead, along with some friends. The Pirates one is going to a fan locally and the Mr Spock is probably MINE. The rest and their buddies will sell. The fun two are the Welcome Home buttons, but they're not WWII; they're WWI!

 

Mr Spock.....?

 

See it didn't even stay out long enough to have its photo taken & it is already in her stash.

 

YEP! He beamed out of the photo!

This one on Ebay got caught in a tangle field. https://ebay.us/sRVMOm

 

The link went to eBay's homepage.

I still haven't sorted the community yard sale stuff. I did find this yesterday for $5. Not perfect, I will gently clean her and redo her pearls (somebody actually put a bracelet around her neck.) She has a scrape on the back of her head, I probably did it knowing me and glassware. I kept picking her up and putting her down, and the seller walked over with a bag and said "you know you are going to buy this." I cracked up. Got her flowers today.

 

Also got this Pfaltzgraff Summer Garden teapot for $1, need to clean it up, no chips or cracks. I'm trying.

 

View attachment 325071 Here's a few more things. All were a $1 each.
You know I love me some vintage Tupperware.

And I have always wanted a set of these...my retro kitchen is baby pink and baby blue.

 

Lastly, this was a dollar, no damage. Los Angeles Potteries veggie and dip platter. Matches nothing in the house- love is color blind.

 

I always try to pick up these old city business directories when I find them for a reasonable price. Was very excited to be able to add one of this age to my collection/hoard!

 

An 1887 Cleveland yellow pages! Pretty sweet.

 

Today’s car boot was a bit of a wash out as the forecast was poor so the sellers stayed at home. On the plus side the total spend was £3.50 so can’t complain!.


An unresearched cap badge and a couple of religious pieces that seem to sell well in a little lot.


I always pick up penknives for my OH. The Malta letter opener is sterling.


Love these!. Glass and brass frames. Prints of some sort. More to research



Educate my ignorance please Japanese or Chinese? (Sorry) Old? Modern?


Toby Jug marked Paddy and nice boxed Parker pen

 

Hi KSW,
The universal says your mug is a character mug. A Toby jug has the entire body of person molded. I have been "reminded" several times of the difference between a Toby jug and a character mug.

Sometimes worth it to just take a screen shot & save the time of trying to post a link and getting their garbage....IMHO

 

@KSW - that's a military bandsman's cap badge, and I ought to know which one. Swiss Army knives do well.

Ruth, those badges were made by a company called Lincoln Enterprises, owned by one Majel Barrett Roddenberry. They held the patents on Trrek stuff like that, because Gene had the nous to hang on to them, rather than ceding it all to Desilu.

Stuffs.....

 

nice stuffs !!!
