Patriotic Auction Finds 7.01.2017

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.

  2. Love your vintage finds. That Fenton Eagle plate would look great in a patriotic vignette.

  4. Love 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!
