This Week’s Vintage Finds #117

Hi everyone! It’s still early days for garage sales here in the Northeast, and even estate sales tend to be sporadic. The vintage finds you’ll see today, I bought at Salvation Army, a [new-to-me] flea market, and a [new-to-me] antique shop while shopping with my sweet husband on Saturday afternoon.

Today I’m starting a new FLASH SALE feature. On Tuesdays, when I post my vintage finds, certain items will be available to my readers for three days at a lower price. Just send me a note with your zip code and email via my contact form in my Vintage Shop, and I will send you a PayPal invoice. FLASH SALES end in three days, after which they will appear in my Vintage Shop here on my blog or be taken to my booth at the Gristmill Antique Center.

Let’s take a look at what I bought this past week-end.

A framed Godey’s fashion print (6″ x 7″), with mirror on reverse (cost: $1.00, value: $12-15.00, FLASH SALE: $10.00 + shipping).

A vintage portrait of a mustached man (4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″) in gold-gilt frame (cost: $1.00, value: $10.00, FLASH SALE: $8.00 + Shipping).

The interesting wire easel-back gives an indication of age (I’d say about the 1920’s), with the patent pending date of 1908 stamped at the top of the mechanism.

I purchased this attractive, original watercolor of onions and red chili peppers (16″ x 20″) at Salvation Army (cost: $5.00, value: $45-50.00, FLASH SALE: $38.00 + Shipping).

I thought these vintage wooden trays would make some great stenciled signs (cost: 4/$3.00).

As you may be aware, I’ve been on a bit of a sign-making binge lately. These fine pieces of scrap wood will make some lovely signs, too (cost: 3/$1.00).

As will this vintage wooden tray (cost: 50¢).

I picked up the Chevrolet sign at the [new-to-me] flea market in Ravena (NY) and paid a bit more than I would normally ($10.00). I can picture it hanging over an entry-way or French doors. Am I right? (value: $45-50?) I purchased the boat doors at the [also new-to-me] Sister Salvage, a very fun shop in Hannacroix (NY). I’ve got a few ideas rumbling around in my head for them (cost: 2/$10.00).

I guess I’m working on a collection of wicker-wrapped Chianti bottles (cost: $2.00, value: $10-12.00).

This is officially my third. I’ve been using them to decorate with, so I’m not quite ready to sell yet.

And yeah, and I definitely have a cutting board collection, but no figural ones. Love this cute little mouse-shaped board, measuring 11 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ (cost: $2.00, value: $12-14.00, FLASH SALE: $10.00 + shipping).

A newer, handmade oak board, measuring 14″ x 9″ (cost: $3.00, value: $15-18.00, FLASH SALE: $12.00).

A nice vintage oak board (cost: $2.00, value: $12-15.00, FLASH SALE: $10.00) and pair of vintage, Sheffield (England) snub-nosed scissors with great patina (cost: $1.00, value: $15-18.00, FLASH SALE: $10.00).

This last board has four knob feet that make it quite different and interesting.
