Featured Finds Thread

Two baskets (smaller one inside). Lots of vintage picture frames.


Also have three Nascar shirts I need to launder and spiff up. There was a box of cookbooks (nothing great), crock pot liners, glass cookwate, a Bud Light glass and pitcher set in a box, and a lighted wooden rifle cabinet that had a slide lock with keys. I grabbed an extra slide lock with keys.

 

I always enjoy well made baskets like that....... functionality !!

 

They will work in my booth, as will all this free stuff.

 

Vintage tins, a sterling frame and other goodies for Zero? DINGDINGDING.

 

Thanks. I can't find another coffee can on the internet like this one.

 

Yeah, part of me wonders what they had out this morning.

 

Authentic Navajo pitch-fired pottery: a whimsical piggy / piggy bank signed Stella Claw:

 

I love this.

 

Blimey.

Mind you, I grabbed a fly tipped Fortnum and Mason wicker hamper this afternoon.

 

Nice free finds!

 

Those hampers are very cool!!

I got one as part of a table lot a couple of years ago. I didn't get much for it as it did have damage & the shipping costs were insane but the buyer was thrilled.

 

It was literally sitting on the pavement. I braked rather sharpish. Probably irritated the bloke behind me….!

 

Free is the best!

 

Nabbed from the side of the road!

 

What does fly-tipped mean?

 

Thanks

 

Known on this side of the pond as street shopping or dumpster diving.

 

todays antique store finds.......

Schrade .....acrylic / plastic faux tortoise shell gentlemans automatic pocket knife & nail file. Just north of 3 1/4 inches.

& a thingamajig......

Ivory & some foreign material at one end....
interior blades of some sort...
at the moment there is no movement at the protruding end , which I believe swivels to release the metal pointy things in the interior....

The two sides of the openings show what look like metal ended slides.....unsure of their purpose..but I wonder if the end protrusion could be pushed in ....
though that doesn't seem likely.......

2 3/4 inches with a stamping of Pat Nov 16 , 1869.. !!
