<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 183613, member: 37&quot;]Went over to the Covered Bridge Festival in Parke Co. IN on Saturday.&nbsp; This used to be a great buying event that I would never miss but it has gone way downhill over the years. It has a small fraction of the vendors it used to have and very little antiques any more.&nbsp; Consequently, I haven&#039;t been in several years.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>We went on the next to last day of a 10 day event so I wasn&#039;t expecting much. It was much as I expected but I was able to glean a few items.&nbsp; I am surprised that a few of these things were still there and at bargain prices.&nbsp; I may just have to go back next year and hit it early. </p><p><br /></p><p>This art deco barber/beautician&#039;s station was 1/2 off the marked price of $25.00.&nbsp; The red formica top is stained but I should be able to do something with it.&nbsp; You rarely see these with red details.&nbsp; Usually found in black. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]51451[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]51452[/ATTACH]&nbsp; </p><p>This little 5&quot; pitcher has a beautiful flowing glaze.&nbsp; Not sure who did it so will post in PGP.&nbsp; Bought for $3.00.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]51453[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>These chrome and glass lamps were $12.00 for the pair.&nbsp; Probably late 60s or early 70s.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]51454[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This is probably my best find.&nbsp; These are University of Illinois andirons.&nbsp; They are well documented as coming from the university foundry and produced in very limited numbers in the 20s.&nbsp; Bought for $45.00 and now in my shop space at more than 10x that. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]51458[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This industrial metal work table was $15.00. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]51459[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>These 5 wood casting patterns were $20.00 for all.&nbsp; All but one are marked <i>State Dept. of Engineering</i> on them. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]51460[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This heavy art deco table has seen better days but was a good buy at $18.00.&nbsp; The top is not original and had patterned foil self-stick vinyl on it before I took it off.&nbsp; I am going to try and use this top if I can get it looking presentable.&nbsp; The tubes were originally chrome but I think beyond rejuvenating at this point.&nbsp; I will probably do a two-tone black and silver paint job on the base and go with a plain black top.&nbsp; Not sure I needed another big project but this one has good &quot;bones&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]51461[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Another really good find is this pair of Ben Seibel design <i>Orb</i> bookends.&nbsp; Bought for $2.00. Obviously, anyone who knows anything wasn&#039;t looking <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/cool.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]51462[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
