This year I am trying not to purchase pottery or glass.
But what to do when I see a McCoy bank grinning at me?
Bought for $5, sold for $10.
And I have always had a soft spot for carnival glass.
.The pattern & iridescence on these Northwood berry bowls was sweet.
Bought for $4, sold for $15.
Cabbage leaf Wedgwood Plates.
Bought for $4, sold for $22.
A primitive chair. I always tell my husband
that they are not worth messing with.
Bought for $2, sold for $15.
But what great green paint and patina on this beauty.
I bought TWO of these without a clue of what they were.
Apparently, if you are into looking at colonies of bacteria,
this is your best friend.
Bought for $4, sold for $15.
I brought the other THREE up from storage to show him we already had a few.
He thought that his dump truck was just good at making friends.
Never buy books in poor condition.
Never.
So why did I buy this 1907
"Moving Pictures Teddies" book?
Bought for $4, sold for $10 on ebay.
hahaha, I hope you don't have colonies of bacteria that need looking at. Pretty neat looking gizmo.
ReplyDeleteWe had a bunch of tonka trucks. Sold in the blink at an eye when we did a town flea market a couple of years ago.
I am going to participate in a couple flea market type things in the next couple months. hopefully, they will disappear, with alot of other junk.
ReplyDeleteI have that same smiley face coin bank. I believe its a 70's thing. The first one I've seen besides mine. What a great find.
ReplyDeleteI covet the carnival glass! The dump trucks are great! Do kids ever get to play with the "old ones." Today's are SOOO plasticy! That Teddy might be awesome disassembled and displayed in a shadow box with more ephemera or little antique toys??? I, too, love glass and dishes and it is hard to pass up good buys...but they don't sell well.
ReplyDeleteOh, I know the probability of dust growing on the glassware. I only paid a few bucks for them, so even if I end up donating them to a thrift store I won't take much of a hit. Maybe I will get lucky...
DeleteOh I love the little teddy book, bruises and all ;) Thanks for sharing @ Vintage Charm!
