<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FunkeysFinds, post: 16366, member: 83&quot;]I haven&#039;t shopped in the past few weeks as I knew that this month I would be out a fair amount (the last week of the month is pure shopping - I am counting the days).</p><p><br /></p><p>I found a new TS yesterday (two different actually), close to my fave one (where the bakelite gator pin came from).&nbsp; It is hidden from the road and huge.&nbsp; So much so that many folks don&#039;t know it is there, but the donations are massive because of the cause.&nbsp; For one entire hour, I was the only customer there until they closed.&nbsp; I have never been the only customer in a thrift store that size before.&nbsp;&nbsp; Fun.&nbsp; &nbsp; Between the two stores, I came home with one box and 7 bags worth.&nbsp; Whoops.&nbsp; It happened again. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie99" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; But it was about $50.00 for all, so that was not bad. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some of my favorite items:</p><p><br /></p><p>I saw this and took a chance on it.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been researching items outside of my traditional comfort zone and I&#039;m glad I bought it.&nbsp; There seems to be quite a following for the vintage gold phones.&nbsp;&nbsp; It hasn&#039;t been cleaned yet, sorry.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/FunkeysFinds/008_048.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Since folks like to learn from this topic as well.&nbsp; Not everyone knows these are collectible again.&nbsp; The vanity trays our moms, grandmothers and some folks today still use - my mom purposely had two.</p><p><br /></p><p>It really depends on the border and inside.&nbsp; The gold paper design has some light damage in spots, but is unusual to find.&nbsp; Because of it, and the rose theme throughout, it is a def $30 - 35.00 sale.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/FunkeysFinds/030_044.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Love these Vernonware Mixing Bowls - $3.00 for both.&nbsp; Great condition.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/FunkeysFinds/010_053.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The Poppytrail Chop Plate was $2.00, also in GC:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/FunkeysFinds/016_047.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This small creamer piece was mixed in with some Fire King, but is not.&nbsp; I would think it is some type of Elegant or Antique glass.&nbsp; It is a white/milk glass, with a flared (?) design coming up from the base on all four sides - you can just make it out in the front.&nbsp;&nbsp; It was .50.:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/FunkeysFinds/022_040.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think I might have some unique older Asian item, but am not sure.&nbsp; Either that, or a really heavy brass Ping-Pong paddle.&nbsp;&nbsp; The only markings I think are the writing on the front:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/FunkeysFinds/034_035.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=32]@spirit-of-shiloh[/USER] - I like your pile(s) of stuff. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=25]@afantiques[/USER] - I think the UK version of Antiques Roadshow would have fun in your &#039;shed.&#039;&nbsp; Great finds in there.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=201]@Pat Parker[/USER] - that catalog is fantastic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
