Hey guys! Did you have a good junk-filled weekend? I attended the estate auction of a woman that had lots and lots of antique booth spaces. So, it was a good one. With lots of people in attendance. However, they ran 2 rings, so I was actually able to get some stuff. So much stuff that I haven't had time to go through it all, so this is just part 1!
Finally... a trunk shot worthy of showing you!
This tub of stuff was a mystery to me when I bid on it.
Here's what I salvaged from it.
There were a ton of S&Ps at the auction, and here's half of what I got.
... and here's the other half.
I was really happy to get this many. They will make a great addition to the booth.

I also got this whole box of state ashtrays. Turns out there were only 39 in here, but still. I've never seen these except on Shara's blog (see collects them).
Well, I'll be back later to share more finds.
Oh those state ashtrays! I have several and always grab them when I find them for a decent price.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOODNESS! I love the S&P's!!!! The tall cats stand out to me ... are they Holt Howard? Good stuff, Melissa! Thank you for sharing your finds with "Let's Talk Vintage!" today!
ReplyDeleteWow! I wish I could have gone to that auction too! It's funny because I just put several of those state ashtrays in my booth... I only had a few though! And all those S&P's... goodness! :o)

Auctions are fun and exciting. I have seen old tin toys go for more than the furniture. Usually the furniture is the lowest priced items!
ReplyDeleteWOW what great finds
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to an auction for 2 years because they don't have auctions around here any more
Melissa, you found so many good things!! I need to find an auction like that!! High five!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a load of vintage goodness! Thanks for sharing your haul at Talk of the Town.
ReplyDeleteI spy with my little eye those plastic turquoise salt n pepper! Lustroware or something like that, i believe!? Fun finds!
ReplyDeleteGreat gobs of goodness! Love all the S&P's and the state ashtrays - I have never seen so many at one time.
ReplyDeleteThrift and antique shopping is so much fun! Thanks for sharing your experiences with the Thursday Blog Hop!
