Last Saturday I spent most of the day at an auction. It was local, and my husband was able to load / unload the van twice for me while I stayed to bid. Whew. I bought alot, and felt like I got some good deals. The family had obviously collected patriotic items. The surprise was that I purchased them.
Yellow Mccoy Uncle Sam was purchased for $3 and sold for $16. Paid $1 each for Uncle Sam hat flowerpots.
I am a patriotic red, white and blue in my heart -- not my decorating. Plus, I knew I couldn't price and get the items into my booth before the Fourth of July. Oh well, sometimes buying patterns just happen.
Frankoma Uncle Sam mug, paid $2 and sold for $8.
Bought a set of anchor plates for $20 at the auction, sold them for $309 on ebay.
I really liked the Fenton plate but it is not
worth diddly-squat. I bought 9 of the eagle paperweights
and they seem to do better on ebay. I only paid $1 each,
so I feel pretty confident.
Ended up selling them for $53.
This is a hand painted Fenton plate, trying it on ebay.
Bought for $2, sold for $15.
I got STACKS of patriotic plates for $4 total.
You got a lot of good things. Good luck selling them.
ReplyDeleteLove your vintage finds. That Fenton Eagle plate would look great in a patriotic vignette.
ReplyDeleteWow! Great scores ~ thanks for sharing @Vintage Charm!
ReplyDeleteLove the Patriotic stuff; you may be able to sell some of it for Veteran's day. My patriotic stuff goes up just before Memorial Day for Flag Day till after 7/4. 25 years of working @ a VA has made me a bit more patriotic than most, I guess!
