Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

[MrZootSuit]

I got this last summer at a yard sale for $15, the guy said it belonged to his grandfather but it doesn't seem like it was ever used! Works fine and all parts are in excellent condition, even the ribbon was good, hardly any used. I think it's a 30's model but not 100% sure on that, love having it on my desk.

It's a play on words from the 'Dr. Strangelove.'

That's a beaut! I want an old typewriter but I have no idea what I would do with it or where I would put it.

Picked these up today- $0.50 each.

I was thinking the same thing...and then I noticed that Dinerman is from Halifax, one of the greatest curling areas in the world. There are probably quite a few curling drinking glasses in his neighborhood. It's still a very cool find :eusa_clap.

I've found curling glasses before, but never this many at once. It really is a good town for all things curling. Spent this morning watching the Canada v. US mens game with some friends in a great little diner in the north end of the city.

When I offer this for sale, I think it'll be safe to call it "Mid-Century". This thing is so hoaky and fun I almost wish I hadn't given up drinkin'!

I had never heard of curling in my life. Had to wiki it. Neat glasses.

I sold this barware set last week. I love ships. I have an old oval butler/coffee table with a carved ship. Sold in 1938 in Ft. Smith Ar. and made of pecan wood according to previous owner.

It's cute...but...what is it!? lol

 

[storman113]

It's an "ice bucket".

 

[Shangas]

Is that all? Wow...I admit I've never seen one quite that colourful.

Antique store finds from Leesburg VA yesterday

A Royal Stetson Open Road and a no label shearling jacket "Made in Argentina".

I usually don't like shopping at "antique" stores, but then I have never really found anything nice until yesterday...

 

[Dinerman]

More glasses, which match one I got last year.

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Hey, D-Man,

I recently thrifted the shoes to go with those glasses...

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Got this over the weekend. Turns out it's complete with original game pieces - from 1936! (I'll be offering this for sale on EB.)

GC, those are GREAT scores!! I too shy away from "Antique" stores generally but I did find some nice vintage fedoras at one last year so it does pay to check sometimes. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Oh yeah, I also got these old game elements inside that Alley Oop box. I think they are from the '30s too (except for one of the Pin The Tail On The Donkeys).
