Buying Antiques in Southern Maine (& NH)

One of the best parts of any vacation for me is shopping for vintage and antiques. I suspect it is for most antique dealers. It’ll come as no surprise then to hear that I shopped until I dropped during the entirety of our recent Maine vacation.

Over five days I hit more than thirteen thrift stores and antique malls and bought more than one hundred items. I decided to share them all here on the blog, rather than on YouTube, where I typically share my “hauls”.

You’ll find the items listed by shop, and I share what each cost and what I think it’s worth. In addition, you’ll find links to related articles here on the website.

Be sure to read through to the end where you’ll find photos of our other adventures: Perkins Cove, the Marginal Way, and Strawberry Banke Museum.

Experienced Goods (VT)

We stopped into Experienced Goods on our drive out to Ogunquit (ME). It’s located in Braddleboro, VT, which is about 2 hours east of Albany, NY where we live.

I had an absolute BALL shopping in this wonderful thrift store, one of my favorites from the trip. I bought loads of great vintage and antiques there.

Mortar & Pestle

A nice, older mortar and pestle (c. late 1800’s).

• Cost: $3
• Value: $40-45

Wooden Wall Art

A newer wooden horse silhouette with a folk-arty vibe.

• Cost: $3
• Value: $18-20

Transferware

A pink transferware salad plate in the “Tonquin” pattern (c.1930’s). It will likely not be a quick seller; I picked it up to add to various transferware resources that I’ve developed.

• Cost: $1.50
• Value: $6-7
• Related Guide: Vintage & Antique Transferware
• Related Price Guide: Transferware

A pink transferware creamer in the “Tonquin” pattern (c.1930’s). It will likely sell quicker than the plate above since there are quite a number of creamer collectors, and pink is a popular color in general.

• Cost: $1.50
• Value: $10-12
• Related Guide: Vintage & Antique Transferware
• Related Price Guide: Transferware

A restaurantware serving dish in the Blue Willow pattern, by Shenango China of New Castle, PA (c.1940’s-50’s).

• Cost: $2
• Value: $10-12
• Related Article: A Blue Willow Collecting Guide

Chalkboard

A vintage chalkboard advertising a company called “Solgar,” with a quote from Abraham Lincoln: And at the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

• Cost: $6
• Value: $35-40
• Related Article: Make a Chalkboard From a Headboard

Ironstone

An antique ironstone soap dish, unmarked so likely American. It’s rare to find all three pieces–dish, drainer, and lid–in tact and together (c.1890’s-1900’s).

• Cost: $8.00
• Value: $40-45

Other Ceramics

An Portugese tile with attractive artwork depicting a street scene (c.1970’s).

• Cost: $1.50
• Value: $10-15

A delightfully small stoneware jug, just 3 1/4″ tall.

• Cost: $3
• Value: $35-45

Sterling Silver Wine Caddy

For lack of better information, I’m calling this Sterling silver and wood piece a “wine caddy”. I found the sterling mark on the outer rim and am currently in the process of polishing it up.

• Cost: $3
• Value: $35-40
• Related Article: Is it Sterling or Silverplate?

Fish-Shaped Tray

I’ll be honest, I bought this piece for two reasons: (1) fish-shaped things sell well and (2) I want to try out the “oven cleaner method” of stripping stain and varnish off of wood pieces.

• Cost: $2
• Value: $10-12

Cast Iron

A cast iron sad iron trivet (c. late 1800’s).

• Cost: $2
• Value: $15-20
• Related Article: Cast Iron Trivet Guide

When I bought this, I thought it was some sort of unusual trivet, when in fact, I think someone welded some iron onto a horse shoe to create this heart shape and then welded on a handle. Still kind of interesting as a decorative item, right?

• Cost: $3
• Value: $ 12-15
• Related Article: Cast Iron Trivet Guide

Parker French Antique Center (NH)

We stopped at the Parker French Antique Center on our way back to Albany, NY from Ogonquit, ME.

Bottle

A small (3.5″) antique aqua bottle with an applied lip, which accounts for the wonkiness you see in the top right image (late 1800’s).

• Cost: $3
• Value: $18-22
• Related Article: Antique Bottle Collecting Guide
• Related Article: Bottle Cleaning Guide
• Related Article: National Bottle Museum

Celluloid

You many be wondering why I continue to buy celluloid when it doesn’t tend to sell well at the moment. In part (I admit), I’m rescuing it because I really like it (even though no one else seems to!) and in part I find that certain pieces do still sell, like small containers and button hooks.

In particular, I feel that the two hand painted pieces (a button hook and a nail file above) will sell on Etsy, where I have them listed for $26.97.

• Cost: $10 for 14 pieces
• Value: $2-12 each
• Related Article: Antique Celluloid Guide

Wedgwood

I picked up this commemorative piece of Wedgwood jasperware thinking that a collector would want to include this in their collection, particularly since it features Josiah Wedgwood, the founder of the pottery.

• Cost: $1
• Value: $12-15

Mid-Century Aluminum Shaker

Mid-century shakers and canisters like this one sell quickly from my antique booth, so I always pick them up.

• Cost: $1
• Value: Sold for $7

Ephemera

• Christmas postcard with two children holding a wreath
• Postcard depicting a cat and dog (1907)
• Birthday postcard with two sweet children outside of a doorway (1909).

• Cost: $1 each
• Value: $2-4 each

• Postcard featuring ing a flock of sheep (1907)
• Photographic card with a windmill (1909)
• German card depicting the Queen of Prussia (1889).

I think these are little works of art worthy of framing.

• Cost: $1 each
• Value: $2-4 each
• Value If Framed: $15-20

This piece of ephemera is called a “blotter”; people used them back in the “olden days” when pen and ink were in regular use. Blotters would absorb excess ink.

After writing with one’s pen, a special blotting instrument would be passed over wet ink. Then the excess ink on the instrument would be rubbed off onto the blank side of a paper blotter.

The blotter in the photo above is unused, but often the blotters I find are covered with ink splotches on the blank side, indicating heavy use. Companies handed them out much like business cards, but eminently more functional!

Sometimes they had calendars printed on them, making them even more useful. Other times they featured pin-up girls, which as you might imagine, made them attractive to many people.

• Cost: $1
• Value: $4-5

BACK TO THE TABLE OF CONTENTS

Salvation Army (NH)

One night we drove south from Ogunquit to tour Strawberry Banke Museum in Portsmouth, NH. Afterward, we popped into a nearby Salvation Army to see what we could find.

Spice Cupboard

This vintage, pine spice cupboard needs a bit of TLC, but nothing a good waxing and a new knob can’t fix.

• Cost: $2.99
• Value: $40-50 (after TLC)
• Related Article: Wood Salve Recipe
• Related Article: Spice Cupboard Makeover

Books

Back when I was middle-school age, I adored Nancy Drew. I pick them up whenever I find them priced reasonably since they sell well from my booth. This edition of The Mystery of Crocodile Island was published in 1978.

• Cost: $.79
• Value: $5-7
• Related Article: Nancy Drew Guide

A pair of drawing textbooks (1920) with some interesting tutorials and wonderful illustrations. I think they’ll sell well on Etsy.

• Cost: $.79 each
• Value: $25-28 (for the pair)
• Related Article: Old Books That Sell: 10 Categories That Sell Best

Pennsylvania Dutch Art (1950) is a great reference book, filled with nice, full-color images.

• Cost: .79
• Value: $8-10
• Related Article: Folk Art Guide
• Related Article: Bennington Museum (features Grandma Moses)

Modern Spice Rack

Before I realized what this was, I had decided to pick it up because I found it interesting and I thought I could do something with the “test tubes”. Upon researching it later, I learned that it’s a valuable spice rack made by “Dean & Deluca”. They appear to sell well on eBay.

• Cost: $5
• Value: $40-50

BACK TO THE TABLE OF CONTENTS

Hidden Treasures Antiques & Collectibles (ME)

I had SO much fun shopping at Hidden Treasures! This antique mall is filled with dozens of dealers. Of course the prices in many booths left no room for another seller to make a profit, but I found several that did.

Enamelware Milk Jug

This enamelware milk jug has seen better days, but the price screamed “Buy me!” I think it may have survived a fire? So far neither Barkeepers Friend nor a Magic Eraser have helped much. Next, I plan to spray it with peroxide and sit it out in the sun.

• Cost: $1
• Value: $25-28
• Related Article: Enamelware Collecting Guide
• Related Article: Enamelware Price Guide

Ruby Glass Pitcher

This small ruby red pitcher taught me, once again, to check items carefully before purchasing them. Unwrapping it at home I discovered a large chip on the spout. When will I learn?!!

• Cost: $4
• Value: $15-18 (if perfect)

Stoneware Jug

I struggle to not buy any low-priced piece of stoneware crockery that I come across, so this small commemorative [1968 NH College] jug came home with me.

• Cost: $2
• Value: $12-15
• Related Article: A Cheese Crock Guide

Lucite Ring

Did you know that vintage Lucite jewelry is highly collectible? I’ve sold two other Lucite cocktail rings like this on on Etsy for $35-42. Snatch it up whenever you come across it. The fellas at the shop gave it to me for free, which was very kind.

• Cost: Free!
• Value: $28-32 (on Etsy)
• Related Article: A Costume Jewelry Price Guide

Ceramic Door Knob

I make the cutest Christmas decorations using antique door knobs like this one and bottle brush trees. Click below to see examples.

• Cost: $1
• Value: $10 (as part of a craft project)
• Related Articles: 30 Christmas Crafts to Make & Sell

I fell in love with the graphics on these four cardboard trays and thought they would look great cut out and framed.

• Cost: $2 for 4
• Value: $15-18 framed
• Related Articles: How to Frame Like a Professional

Original Art

I spotted this lovely Cezanne-style still life (20″ x 24″) on the back wall of the mall priced at $38. I asked the manager to ask the dealer if s/he would take $30; s/he said yes!

Original art like this oil on board has been selling really well for me lately from my antique booth, and at the same time, I’ve been buying to add to my personal “collection”. Now I have to decide, should it stay or should it go??

I’m not in love with the barn board frame and would like to replace it with an ornate gold one. Fortunately, the piece has standard measurements so hopefully I’ll come across one soon.

• Cost: $30
• Value: $100-115
• Related Articles: A Vintage Art Collection

I couldn’t believe my luck in finding not one, but two pieces of well-priced art in the same shop. This depiction of antique steam ships has stolen my heart and may never make it to my booth.

I believe this remarkable oil on board dates to the recent past but its subject matter and quality of workmanship make it highly desirable.

• Cost: $36
• Value: $125-150
• Related Articles: A Folk Art Guide

BACK TO THE TABLE OF CONTENTS

Safe Haven Humane Society (ME)

I would classify the New Haven Human Society Thrift Store as more of an antique shop than a thrift store. Certainly I found antique rather than thrift pricing.

That said, it had some wonderful merchandise and I enjoyed my visit.

Art

I did walk out with this small piece of original art work (11″ x 14″), an oil on canvas featuring pink and rust florals in the foreground and birch trees in the back. I enjoy the composition and the contrasting yellows and purples.

• Cost: $8.50
• Value: $$38-45
• Related Article: A Vintage Art Collection

BACK TO THE TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Fabulous Find Resale Boutique

This boutique, with it’s nicely displayed inventory, offers a decent amount of vintage and antiques, but at prices too high for resale (in my humble opinion).

Yellowware

That said, I did pick up this little yellowware custard dish.

• Cost: $3
• Value: $10-12 (higher on eBay)

BACK TO THE TABLE OF CONTENTS

Bo-Mar Hall Antiques & Collectibles

Bo-Mar Hall Antiques & Collectibles is a very large antique mall that I enjoyed browsing, but I found most of the merchandise priced at market value. I had to really search to find two vendors selling at prices low enough to give me room to make a profit.

That said, before we made it inside, we discovered a flea market out in the parking lot–woo woo! I purchased the first four items below from one of those vendors.

Lantern

A newer wooden lantern with a great look that I’ll decorate for Christmas and sell at the annual holiday market that I participate in every year.

• Cost: $5
• Value: $28 (decorated)
• Related Article: 30 Christmas Crafts to Make & Sell

Matchbox Cars

I also decorate Matchbox (and other small) cars with bottle brush trees and sell them at the market. I especially look for red and green vehicles, trucks, police cars, and fire trucks. These cuties hit all these high marks: two fire trucks and red and green trucks.

• Cost: .50 each
• Value: $6 each (decorated)
• Related Article: 10 Bottle Brush Tree Decorations

Buttons

Another craft that I sell regularly at Christmas time are antique bingo cards embellished with vintage buttons. These mother-of-pearl and red buttons are perfect for this project and the metal deer buttons were simply to darling too leave behind.

• Cost: .50 each bag
• Value: $12/bingo card

Galvanized Metal Container

This large galvanized container with lockable clasp has a nice vintage look that attracted me.

• Cost: $5
• Value: $25

Wooden Scribe

Tools sell very well for me from my antique booth (as do many antiques collected primarily by men). I especially enjoy wooden pieces like this early scribe.

• Cost: $5
• Value: $20-22
• Related Article: Tool Haul

Wooden Candleholder

I’ve come across wooden candleholders like this one, often made by students in woodworking classes. I think I can remove the candleholder part (which looks new-ish to me) and turn it into more of an antique style candle box.

• Cost: $5
• Value: $25-30

Ceramic Tile

I plan to write an article about delft (a type of pottery produced in the Netherlands) in the near future, so this tile attracted me. This chipped example featuring a Dutch style windmill likely dates to the 1920-30’s.

The Netherlands and Germany share a border so it’s no surprise that the tin glaze process used to create this piece would cross that border. G.M.T. Co. was an American merchant who purchased quality kitchen items from multiple European companies, including Germany.

• Cost: $4
• Value: $22-28

Wooden Shipping Box

Items containing old-timey handwriting like this small wooden shipping box (c. 1920’s), have a market, particularly on Etsy.

• Cost: $4
• Value: $18-22 (on Etsy)

Silverplated Serving Fork

I find pretty silverplate, like this Atlas Silver Co. serving fork (c. 1930-40’s) hard to resist, particularly when priced cheaply. The label “Extra Plate” means it has slightly heavier silver plating than the average.

• Cost: $1
• Value: $4-6
• Related Article: Is It Sterling or Silverplate?

Jewelry

I felt certain the bracelet (seen above) would turn out to be sterling silver but I found no markings of any kind. Ditto the modern owl cocktail ring and the men’s USAF ring.

• Cost: $1 each
• Value: $8-10 each
• Related Article: A Vintage Costume Jewelry Price Guide

Found Objects for Keychains

I picked up these two pieces to make keychains (which sell for $10 each) for the Shaker Heritage Society Holiday Market.

• Cost: $1 each
• Value: $10 as keychains

Ephemera: Fifty Items That Each Cost $1

I picked up these older programs on a whim thinking it would be good to learn more about them. Turns out they sell individually for about $5-10 on eBay. That’s not really enough for me to take the time selling them there.

I sell quite a fair amount of ephemera from my antique booth so I’ll give them a try there first.

• (3) Opera House programs (c.1940’s). Value: $5-10 each
• (1) Colonial Theatre program (1929). Value: $5-10
• (8) Playbills (c.1950’s). Value: $5-10 each

I think each of these pieces of ephemera (program, menu, magazine) should sell well on eBay.

• The Four Seasons Program (1966). Value: $20-25
• United State Lines steamship ocean liner menu (c. 1960’s). Value: $15-20
• Ladies Home Journal (1910). Value: $10-20

• Small red ledger (1906). Value: $20-25
• (3) Envelopes with correspondence (1919-17). Value: $20-30 for all three
• Victorian Father Christmas scrap (c.1890’s). Value: for crafting

• Canceled Stamps. Value: for crafting
• Large Hoods Sarsaparilla trade card (c. 1920). Value: $18-20 (framed)
• Ornate Greeting card featuring a European castle (c. 1910). Value: $4-5 (if perfect)

Anytime Antiques & Collectibles (ME)

Located in Wells, Maine, Anytime Antiques, contains numerous antique dealers selling a wide range of items, and I found several beauties.

Advertising Tins

A large Three Crow mustard tin (c.1930’s). Unfortunately the portion of the label showing the crows has faded significantly, which affects its value.

• Cost: $4
• Value: $25-35 (on eBay)
• Related Article: Advertising Tin Guide

A [rusty] Propert’s Leather & Saddle Soap tin (c.1950-60’s).

• Cost: $1
• Value: $7-9

Cutting Board

I always grab pig-shaped cutting boards when I come across them (if priced cheaply), since they sell extremely well from my antique booth. This one is a bit newer than most, but it should nonetheless sell well.

• Cost: $4
• Value: $18-25
• Related Article: Cutting Board Cleaning Guide

Miniature Beer Steins

I kind of like these mini beer steins better without their labels and think they’ll sell faster without them. What do you think?

• Cost: $1.50 for 2
• Value: $7-8 each

Buttons

I always pick up well-priced buttons when I find them out in the wild for use with a number of different craft projects.

• Cost: $2
• Value: for crafting

Glass Jug

I couldn’t pass up this gorgeous amethyst pitcher, even though I don’t sell a lot of glass from my antique booth. Would you have bought it?

• Cost: $4
• Value: $18-25

Brass Trivet

When I spotted this brass trivet I had a gut feeling that it was an older piece. I’ve bought and sold cast iron trivets in the past, but never a brass one like this. I’m hoping it’s the real deal.

• Cost: $4
• Value: $40-50

BACK TO THE TABLE OF CONTENTS

My Favorite Thrift Boutique (ME)

My Favorite Thrift Boutique, while fun to walk around, definitely had boutique prices.

Limoges Cup

This is my third miniature mug, so it’s official: I’ve started another accidental collection, LOL. I do have an article planned on French Limoges china (see the mark), so I have a legitimate reason for picking it up.

• Cost: $1
• Value: $4-5

BACK TO THE TABLE OF CONTENTS

Out of the Box Thrift (ME)

This shop in Kennebunk, ME had a boutique vibe but without the boutique prices.

Original Art: Sculpture

I’ve had good success selling MCM on Etsy, so I’m going to give this interesting wooden sculpture of a family of three a try there.

• Cost: $2
• Value: $25-30

French Mustard Crock

Upon returning home, I learned that this simple mustard crock with French wording is a newer reproduction. Because I think it has a good “look”, I’m going to give it a try on Etsy.

• Cost: $1
• Value: $20-25

Ribbon

I’m always on the lookout for narrow, attractive ribbon to use when making bottle brush tree and thread decorations.

• Cost: .50/spool
• Value: for crafting
• Related Article: Bottle Brush Tree & Thread Spool Craft

Brass Bookend

As I’ve mentioned before, Albany, NY, was founded and settled by the Dutch, so items with Dutch motifs, like windmills sell well in my area.

• Cost: $3.74
• Value: $28-32

BACK TO THE TABLE OF CONTENTS

Shops That Didn’t Hold My Interest (but give them a try for yourself!)

• Uniques & Antiques (NH): Mostly new merchandise with a focus on Christmas.
• Lost Coast Thrift (ME): Very small and close quarters.
• Hart & Home Consignment (ME): Primarily new merchandise with a focus on decorating.

Photos of Our Adventures in Maine

We opted to stay in a cute cottage in a wooded area just outside downtown Ogonquit, and boy were we happy with our choice.

We so enjoyed the peace and quiet. This was our view from the sunroom at the back of the cottage. We would sit and stare out the windows as we drank our morning coffee. Such a great way to start the day.

We could have sat there all day, but there were thrift stores and antique malls to conquer! Vintage and antiques to be bought!

An Antique Booth I Fell in Love With

I wish I could remember which shop these images come from. This one booth in particular caught my eye. I’m an ironstone lover so that makes sense, right?

I have in mind to replicate this idea of lavender in muslin bags (which I have on hand!) with the French “lavande” stamped on the outside.

Don’t you love the muted tones and wonderful textures in this booth?

Perkins Cove

Perkins Cove is a village in Ogunquit, ME known for its charm and multiple art galleries. Once (and still to a certain extent) a mecca for artists, tourists love the place and we were no exceptions.

We ate our first (and best) lobster at Barnacle Billy’s, which offers both indoor and vibrant outdoor seating (shown above).

Yes, we became full-fledged tourists, complete with plastic bibs.

The views as you walk along the cove are outstanding. I can only imagine the crowds during the summer. Though still busy, fall was a great time for a visit. Temps were in the 70’s and we had no waiting at any restaurant.

A lovely view of the cove.

Still loads of blooms everywhere we walked.

The famous footbridge in Perkins Cove.

The cove offers beautiful scenes at every hour of the day, including dusk.

And early evening in the moonlight.

Marginal Way

No trip to Perkins Cove would be complete without a stroll along the Marginal Way taking in the breathtaking views.

My sweet husband taking a break on our walk. Isn’t he handsome?

Nubble Lighthouse

The Nubble lighthouse, is another iconic stop while in southern Maine. Despite heavier crowds, the sunshine and a cool breezes meant no complaints from me.

Strawberry Banke Museum (NH)

Strawberry Banke is a living history museum on the south side of Portsmouth, NH. It contains numerous historic homes and other buildings. Visitors regularly come across costumed docents available for conversation and/or demonstrating skills, like cooking.

The oldest building, Sherburne House, dates to 1695 and the newest, the Cotton Tenant House, dates to 1835.

Gardens

We encountered gardens in a number of places throughout the site, including an apple orchard, a victory garden, a kitchen garden, and more.

This pretty walkway runs through the Thomas Bailey Aldrich Memorial Garden.

These orange nasturtiums were showing off during our visit.

Pretty pink flowers.

Thomas Bailey Aldrich House (1797)

Walking through the Aldrich house is a joy for antique sellers because of its beautiful antique decor.

So much antique goodness.

I just love the lacey drapery over this bed.

Joshua Jackson House (1790)

The interior of Jackson House shows changes made to it over time by various owners, including Federal era (1780-1830) mantels and 20th century wallpaper.

Much of the interior remains in the condition in which it was found when rescued and added to Strawberry Banke.

Abbott House & Store (1720)

The Abbott House is decorated in 1940’s style, as you can probably tell from this image of its kitchen.

Attached to the Abbott House is a small but charming grocery store.

Wheelright House (1784)

Named after Captain John Wheelright, who served in the Revolution, the Wheelright House offers food-related demonstrations.

In the kitchen area you find this large Welsh dresser filled with interesting antiques and preserves.

Shapley House (1790)

The two-story Shapley House featured a shop on the first floor (hence the barrels above) and second floor living quarters for the family.

Presumably the store offered candles and newspapers (seen above) for sale.

William Pitt Tavern (1766)

A handsome pewter set in the William Pitt Tavern.

Governor Goodwin Mansion (1811)

Tours of Governor Goodwin Mansion are only offered on special occasions. It sure is a beauty, isn’t it?

Conclusion

You made it to the end! You’re a brave soul.

We had a wonderful time on our trip to Maine and thoroughly enjoyed our stay about a mile from Perkins Cove. It was quiet and woodsy and we loved it. You can find loads of listings for this area on the airbnb app.
