Stunning stuff. Great finds.

 

I must have missed it or else Im having a senior moment !

 

Art Glass Vase Signature Tom Stoenner | Antiques Board (antiquers.com)

 

Two nice pots I picked up yesterday. The green one I think is 1930s Red Wing Brush Ware. The other TallCakes ID for me as Peters and Reed Moss Aztec, about 1912-21.

 

I like the way you remember about taking pics into a mirror....or reflective surface....so just the tippy top of your phone is there...!

 

I don’t usually bother with wood sock darners but when there’s 22 bags @ $1.99 a bag with a total of 71 darners, I couldn’t pass. Not a single one exactly like the other.

 

oh, that's delicious !!!
so much nice wood !!!!

 

Looks like a Value Village find. They do like to break collections up in to bags. It is great you were able to get that many.

 

Totally gorgeous

 

Looks like somebody's kids didn't want their parent's collection of old darners.

I would have grabbed them too. Even if you only get $15 to $20 each you stand to make a very nice profit.

 

Some recent finds:
1)Antique sugar shaker (thinking around 1880’s)- 14cm tall- less than $1 (But has a slight crack)

2)Abbott Canada soapstone carving- 20cm tall for just over $8 (but spear is missing)

3) 2 large green vintage and handblown (I think) glasses . 15cm tall and 9,5cm wide- about $3 for the pair

 

More recent things:
1)Vintage Onyx lamp- 30cm tall for just over $3.

2)Small bronzed bull,handmade museum copy. Just over $1

3) 2 Fritz Hug prints. Signed,numbered and dated ‘67. Just over $8 for both.

4)Cool little vintage Baby Bank- savings bank. Japanese made around 1940-50’s. About $2

 

Cool postcard..

 

Nice finds (and prices) Anund & Boland. We have a Value Village near us in Oregon,and should I stop by today at 10am-there'll be a line out front 50-100 yards long,for today is (clarion call please) Senior Discount Day !
Much of the semi-precious junk has been picked by 10:15.The pack runs once the doors are breached-the jewelry case is generally 2-3 folks deep,each 'Joolie' patiently louping.
My Lady patiently scours the little bags (like yours) hanging on the smalls wall,and finds some very fine things indeed. Me ? I found a post hole digger I needed there a week ago for $2...find lemons,make lemonade.

 

The green glasses are a roehmer/rummer shape.

 

Dat squirrel!!!

 

Great finds, all!

Anund, those sock darners are amazing! What a cool and unusual find, and amazing no two alike. Got to wonder the history on those. I wonder how old some of them are? Amazing to see them all laid out together. What an unusual thrift find.

Boland, nice finds. Love those green glass goblets!
