<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 257128, member: 59&quot;]Nice one, Wendy!</p><p><br /></p><p>So I haven&#039;t posted any Finds in a while - mostly because I just never got around to transferring my pictures from the SD card to the computer - since MAY! There were 93 pictures when all was said and done. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So here&#039;s sampling of what I&#039;ve picked up at various yard and estate sales since then.</p><p><br /></p><p>First group is what I consider the best - all from one estate back in June. $32 got me 5 Pacific Cloth silver wraps (3 for flatware and 2 large hollowware bags, a &quot;Wings of Victory&quot; Niloak 7&quot; bud vase, a small &quot;ear of corn&quot; pitcher (both for my green collection), a Huxford Roseville book, and &quot;How to Identify Bennington Pottery&quot; by Richard Carter Barret (very beaten up but the binding is still intact.) And the guy at the desk through in the amber Van Ess bottle for free (it was only 50 cents anyway.) I found the bottle with a label online. Seems it was for some kind of dandruff preparation. Looks pretty in the window.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]80012[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This next wins the prize for &quot;Oddest Item.&quot; (And I actually got 2 because the seller wouldn&#039;t split them up - $1 for both.) A Heinz &quot;Pickle Pin&quot; of the older variety, based on the pin mechanism. The newer ones (70s and 80s) had modern style safety pins.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]80014[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]80015[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the latest - went to a group yard sale and a front lawn estate sale with a really bizarre collection of stuff. The group sale yielded a Maestricht &quot;Willow&quot; saucer in pink transfer (or should I call it red?) It was only a buck and I&#039;m a sucker for the willow pattern.</p><p><br /></p><p>At the &quot;estate&quot; I almost turned around and left because it was such a jumble - lots of &quot;stuff&quot; still in random boxes (almost nothing priced) and a rather large crowd pulling stuff out all over the place. Books, tools, military uniforms, electronics, motorcycle boots, and on and on. But there turned out to be 2 tables of mostly ceramics and glass, lots of very small figurines. And from all of that I came away with an 8&quot; Roseville White Rose console bowl in pink and green (under a pile of books!) and a 3.5&quot; Jaeger (Bavaria) tumbler-style vase (wouldn&#039;t be for drinking from with all the decoration at the rim.) I think I did okay for $10 total.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]80016[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
