Misc items

My parents wanted me to clean out their attic and these items were up there. I'm not sure what to do with them. I am assuming some of this stuff might be worth something to someone? There are some old Avon bottles that I remember as a kid so they have to be 40+ years old. Pepsi Bicentennial bottles and some other bottles. My great grandmas Ball canning jars, 60-70+ years old. My mothers bassinet, 85 years old, it has been painted. Bird cage and stand 70+ years old. Any ideas?
Thanks for any help.

 

have a yard sale !

 

Unfortunately just because something is old does not make it valuable or even collectible. The best thing I see is the bird cage. I have Avon, pop bottles, and canning jars I used to get 1-2 dollars for now I can't give them away.
Like @komokwa stated: have a garage sale or put adds on craigslist/social media.

 

If you haven't done so already, you'l want to check eBay for Completed, Sold and Active listings to see what the supply/demand is for your items. AVON cars, and especially in their original boxes, seem to have some value. And you can always group and offer as lot.

And the enamelware pot may be of interest to someone like the collector who bought this lot.

As above, the bird cage is of the greatest value. Here's a Completed eBay listing for a tripod only that sold for $99.99 plus $29.63 shipping. You will want to look for marks. And, of course, condition matters.

Because of its condition (damage, repainting,) the bassinet is unlikely to find interest. But the stand by itself may although not going to be of great value.

Check out the soda bottles carefully. NEHI, as a regional brand, may have some interest. And the PEPSI bottle with the baseball tie-in may as well. Ditto with the Bicentennial bottles.

You'll find higher values on eBay than at a yard sale. But more work, of course. If you decide to go that route, consider selling in lots where it make sense.

They won't bring in a lot, but the Cincy Reds Pepsi bottle and the (non-Dodgers) Dodger Brewing bottle are guaranteed to find takers in the sports memorabilia market...

 

Birdcage and stand is nice from what I can see in the picture. You could try selling locally on craigs list.
