Massive Vintage Haul from Antique Dealer’s Estate Sale Collection!

Well, the doctor said I need to avoid big crowds at estate sales and shows right now. So how is it that I have a van full of merchandise again? I had the good fortune to be invited to a private pick at the estate sale of an antique dealer. I got the most stuff I have ever gotten in a single haul and some really great old things that you just don't see often. Some I've never owned. Some I bet you've never seen. I want to show you all of it. They wouldn't let me film there, but take a look at this. So I've just gotten it out of the car. Hello everybody. And you're going to see it just the way it came, dust and all. But such neat pieces. What a wonderful opportunity to get some really cool stuff. Starting with this. I have never seen a piece quite like this before. This is from right around the turn of the century. I'd say around 1910. It's made of mahogany. I love the shield mirror. It folds down. We just have to dust it a little bit here, but it's got this nice velvet around these very classic looking women in prints. And it opens up as a screen and you could take it, fold this shelf out, and it's a little dressing table. Really neat piece. I paid $100 for this. It's not the kind of stuff you find in thrift stores, but it's also not stuff that I paid thrift store prices for. We paid very fairly, about half on the dollar of what we expected to sell these things for because it was an opportunity to get a really wide variety of stuff in one sitting. And good quality, true antiques, wonderful collectibles. I got three quilts. This is the first. I really like the dogwoods. This is 1930s or 40s, the way it's made. And it's nice because it's got a scalloped edge, so a little more unusual in that regard. That will be sent to my mall space in Kentucky, which is right near the National Quilt Museum. They had several cameras. I just took one, but I wanted to have a diaphragm camera. It's nice and dusty, but I did make sure that it works. It folds open and shut. And you also want to look on these edges to make sure there's no pinholes, because some people actually like to shoot old film with these, and if it has pinholes, they can't use it. The sculpture is one of the few mid-century things in this house, and I just really liked it. It's not by anyone famous. It's made of iron. It's made of brass with a patina on it. It just has a fun look, and I love the skinniness and the exaggerated proportions. Behind is a mandolin, and with this label, this looks like one that's probably from the 1950s. And it's in good condition, and that's the important thing. This is not a high-end mandolin. It's not like a Martin. It will need a little bit of polishing. But the important thing is, look at the neck. Make sure that it is not loose or broken. Here's a German store label on it. So this is going to date to right after World War II. People who buy these, oftentimes, they do want to play. They're not just to look at. Urwell die Qualitätsmarke, meaning it is the quality brand, and it's decent quality. Here we have a very pretty frame with the cut work. Now, we always hope these are sterling. I have not found a sterling mark on this one, but I haven't looked everywhere yet. I have a hunch that this one is not, but it's still a really nice looking frame, and it has the style and a very stately gentleman in it with a very cool watch fob. This looks like something that would date to probably the 1920s. It's an Art Nouveau style, and I imagine that not being sterling, it's probably worth about $45. Behind it, we have a Currier & Ives print. I rarely buy Currier & Ives, but there are some collectors still, and this one was just really fun. This is Little Willie. This is original issue from approximately 1860. Got a whole lot of Valentines and some Easter cards. I looked for ones that are mechanical or that open and have a pane. This one's a little later in time, but look at that how she wipes her face with the napkin. I just love the feathers. This is the sort of thing that was worn around the first decade of the 1900s, and maybe into the 1920s. This is a Strawbridge & Clothier from Philadelphia. It has a New York label. A very nice piece, and the feathers were good. They had other feathered hats, and the problem with them is that the feathers were shedding, which often happens if things weren't stored well. I thought this was a really beautiful piece. Again, Art Nouveau. I believe that this is from Austria. It may be RS Prussia that's not marked. It's a nice mold. The faces have good detail. I thought it was just really well done with the transfer wear. No mark on the back because this is from about 1895, and even though 1891 was when we passed the acts that said that they had to mark the country of origin on imports, we didn't really enforce it evenly. Mainly we went after England first, and eventually all the other countries had to comply. This is really neat. We see a lot of these from the 1980s, but this is the original Perot clown, and this is a soap dish, and it is Germany, and that is the old Germany mark from about 1920, and that's how we know it's an old one. And the old ones are pretty hard to find. That's why there were reproductions and knockoffs and lookalikes made in the 1980s. This is very sweet. This is a cute little half doll made into a powder puff. You don't see those as often. You usually see brushes or pin cushions, and she was made to fit this orange glass piece, so this would have been done sometime right around 1930. The Singer child sewing machine. I believe this model is worth around $100 or $120 as I recall. It is an exact copy of the large Singer sewing machine, which means you can actually sew with it used to teach girls how to sew when they were little, and it works really well, which is important. I mean, you turn it and everything goes. It's not sticking. It has all its parts. I just sold an autograph book very similar to this to a friend of mine. This is a celluloid cover. This should date to about 1900. In fact, there we go, 1902. Pigs like pumpkin, cows like squash, I like you I do by gosh. That's very cute. Battleground Washington. And these were all given to Nellie, so this was Nellie's autograph book. Gresham, Oregon. So she was in the Portland area back around the turn of the last century. And there's photos too. This makes this one a hand. I suspect because of the photos and being a little more interesting, this might sell for $25 to $30. Paid $10 a piece for the cups and saucers. The Shelley dainty pattern with the lines here. This is the Rambler rose transfer. Underneath we have the dainty blue. These typically sell for about $25 to $30 each depending on the pattern. Shelley was a very good company in England and they went out of business in 1966 and their stuff was considered premium and it still is by collectors today. The carriage clock works. This is the shape of the carriage clock because these originally were made to take with you. They were considered portable and you could take it with you if you were riding somewhere. And they were especially well made so that they could handle being jostled around a lot and that's why most of them still work today. Smith Patterson company was the company that sold these but they were made in France. The French were really the good clock makers of the mid to late 1800s. You notice it says that it has jewels. Let's see how many. And I believe I paid around $75 for this because they do sell for $100.5 and sometimes as much as $200 depending on the model. Sometimes even more. There's the name of the company and it says it has 11 jewels. The jewels were little rubies that were in the movement. Somehow they actually helped reduce the friction so that the clock would run better longer and that the gears wouldn't wear out rubbing against each other. And so the more jewels the better. 11 is kind of an average number of jewels. Carriage clocks are fun because when they run you can see the wheel move in the top there. The keys are double-ended. The small end is the thing you use to change the hour and then the big one winds the gears.

This is a very nice piece of stained glass and as we learned in a video that we showed you from Mount Dora, Florida at a show with a big stained glass dealer, the bullets here these are typical of American-made pieces. So this is an American-made piece. We see a lot of English imports but I like the fact that this was made in the U.S. and I believe that this should sell for around $150 with that color in that size. I really like the marble bust. Marble peri and where which was a bisque all of those materials were made into busts in the mid to late Victorian period primarily. I think this one's very sweet. I like that it's actually got a coloration as well. That's a little more unusual. I believe this should sell for somewhere around $175. I got a couple more purses. I've really been fortunate with getting interesting mesh purses lately. This one's got nice color and I like the flowers a lot. I think this one is worth about $85 because it is a Whiting and Davis and there's the mark on the inside. As far as accessories go, this is really neat. This is an actual parasol from about 1890 to 1900. The condition's pretty good overall. I didn't see big holes or anything and it had a nice handle. Now a lot of the handles were taken off of these when they went bad and there are people who just collect the handles. This one as you can tell is not real gold. It's just plated but even so just the handle is probably worth about $75. But when you find them intact like this, even if it's just the regular plain taffeta, they're worth about $135. Next to it I got this. I think I paid $10 and I was surprised they sell a little more deer these days. The last time I got one they sold for about $25 to $30. Well jadeite's really popular and now these towel bars from the 1930s sell for around $50. It looks like it has some of the custard in it because of the whitishness and that would indicate that it probably will fluoresce and that may be why the prices have gone up. This Wedgewood box needs just a little cleaning but I like the jasperware with the cupids. This was a very traditional antique dealer's house so we saw a lot of very fancy and fun frilly things like this. I love the shape. I think I only paid $8 or $10 for this and it's worth about $20 to $25. Here's the other purse I got. I thought this was cute. Just a small one. The basic silver with the tassel. This one is silver plate and as silver plate it should sell for around maybe $60-65. If it were sterling it would sell for about three times that much. These cigar linens are really cute. Cigar and cigarette, Nebo cigarettes specifically. This is the Larchmont girl, Larchmont New York I suppose. Looks like she's about to go swimming in her bathing costume and this is done from a Hamilton Kane drawing. He was an artist similar to Gibson or Howard Chandler Christie around 1910 and he did a lot of drawings of very pretty women. And then these also from Nebo cigarettes. Two of them are showing costumes. One of Ireland, one of Italy, and the third one is Queen Helena of Italy. This is Tibetan and this would have been to carry scrolls. Sometimes these were religious texts. Sometimes it was just something that would be sent by a messenger. I paid $25 each for two of them. This one is a silver tone metal. I don't believe it's sterling silver, although in that part of the world you have to actually test things because they didn't necessarily mark things. But I see brass underneath so I think it just has a silver wash. This one was done in brass and is a little bit larger and they're just neat. People think they're interesting. I think they're interesting. You can hang them on the wall. You can even leave secret messages to each other in them. High crust frames from the 19 teens and 20s are valuable in and of themselves because anyone who has a print or picture from that time oftentimes wants something like this to frame. And then in it we have a print and this is a California scene. Wildflowers of California. So it's taken from an oil painting by Gamble. It definitely has that plein air feel and because of that I think this might be worth as much as $30 or $35 even though it's a rather small piece. I really like this and I think this was a bit of a sleeper. I think I only paid $15 for this because in the house it was kind of dark. It looked sort of muddy. Then when I got it out I realized this is simulating bark. This is porcelain and it is simulating a tree and it has butterflies flying all around it. And I will gently clean it using a sponge and dabbing it very gently and wiping it with a cotton cloth. You don't want to scrub something like this because you might take off color. But this is Nippon and it's Morimura Brothers which means this was made for Noritake to be exported to the United States. And with the bark I think it's rather unusual. My research indicates this might sell for as much as $60. Behind it a really pretty chintz piece. There were several chintz pieces in the house. I mean I think of all the things I could have bought that I left behind but you know I spent my budget and then some. This is Royal Winton and you see the Olympic blank there. Really pretty and chintz is just still very popular because it's so colorful and fun. And I don't see jars as often as I see other pieces. I believe I paid $20 for this. My feeling is that it should sell for around $45 to $50 because it's an unusual form. Now this looks like the Currier and Ives print we showed before but this is actually German and this one is called Meow in the German spelling because of course it features a very fine cat. Cats started to really be considered pets and indoor creatures in the Victorian era. Before that they were simply there to catch mice and usually lived in the barn or outdoors. But by this time they're starting to be members of the family as you can see here. I thought it was very cute. I paid $20 for that one and I think just because of the motif. Now it does have a little bit of staining in here and that's probably because it was framed against cardboard when they reframed it. It says that it's UV glass so I'm thinking that they reframed it on something that actually is an acid-free backing. And that's important because otherwise you do get these yellowings and you start to get spotting and so it's good that they preserved it. Pennants and sporting related items. Well, these are all local interest or at least regional interest in one way or another. Chehalis is the town right next to Centralia where I sell at the Antique Mall. And this is an old jersey for the Chehalis High School's Bearcats. They're still called that. Made by Athletic Supply in Seattle, Washington. And I would say that this was done in the 1920s. It's got a button situation down there. That's going to be interesting to somebody there. I'm not really sure what these should sell for. And it's going to be a local interest sale so we'll probably bump it up a little bit because it's going to be somebody who wants to do a display. I could see this hanging maybe in a sports bar in Chehalis. OSC. I look for things that say OSC because this is the Oregon State College. It was originally the normal college in Oregon for teachers. And then in the 1930s it became Oregon State College because they expanded the curriculum. And then it became Oregon State University which is what it's called now. And that is the beaver. That is their logo. From my alma mater, the University of Washington. Lux sit means let there be light in Latin because you're supposed to become enlightened by going to university. And this is cool because it was done in 1928. And I think that's going to make this interesting to somebody. This lamp is just wonderful. I sold one for a friend of mine a few years ago that was larger than this. We got $850 for that I believe. This one I think is probably worth somewhere in the $300 range. It does work and it is called Victory. It does have a nameplate at the bottom. The spelter at the bottom is a little bit scraped but I don't think that's a big deal because it's at the bottom and there's La Victory. I'm massacring that I'm sure and I'm sorry to all of you who speak French properly. But she is just beautiful with the wings and that's going to date to about 1920. You're going to see Valentine and Easter cards scattered throughout because I bought a big stack of them and I just think they're so cute. I've been really finding a lot of Easter stuff lately which is good because by the time I'm able to do shows again, we'll be getting into the Valentine and Easter period next year. This is fun because it has little wheels that open up. I like mechanicals. Mechanical is anything where it has motion or movement or does something when you open it. These are largely die cuts made in Germany at this point. Easter, I love this guy. He looks sort of like Quacky Doodles who was a character back in the 30s. And this one is neat because it talks about the ducky who lives in Easterland. Old Man Rooster is involved. It's a big long tome that ends with Happy Easter and this is 1936. I paid a bulk price for these. I think I paid a couple dollars each. I see higher prices but I usually sell mine for six and eight and that sort of thing unless they're bigger or really complicated and then they can go for more. This one's really fun. Valentine Greetings and she's got the cat and the dog who look like they're not really happy to be together. A few of these have some little creases. Of course, we try to find them without like this one but this one is a very fun complicated bigger piece so I forgave its condition a little bit. This is the Camp Memory book and it's a specific scrapbook for people going to camps and this particular one is really well annotated which is why I bought it. Now, if they have military pictures, especially I had one that had a whole bunch of pictures of World War II planes with the cheesecake art painted on the fuselages, and those were worth 20 and 30 dollars each. That book turned out to be very valuable. But this one is just fun because it talks all about the Angeles National Forest near Los Angeles as seen from my home in Pasadena and this is around 1920. The Arroyo Seco bus. It's so funny to think Arroyo Seco looked like that a hundred years ago. He shows the horse. He talks all about everything and that's what's really great about this is this one really has a lot of interesting information in it. Taking the piano four miles by horse. It's amazing. We wouldn't do that nowadays. It's hard to get people to take pianos anywhere. There's a pack train. I think this actually has potential and I think we're going to probably try this one online. Two more Shelly cups. This one I like. It's just very simple in the yellow. I think that's a very, very pretty color. And then this one has a transfer pattern on it of the floral bouquet. One more mid-century piece. There was very little that was really mid-century modern in this house, but this one is Viking glass from the 1970s and I just love the purple color. I thought that was just a neat piece. I don't see a lot of their purple satin, so I snapped that up for $10. I believe it's worth about $25. This is a neat English piece and at first I wasn't going to get it because it's loose here, but then I realized the hinge just needs to be pinched a little bit and it'll be just fine. They did repair this one. It's an old repair, but it works and this is an English oak cigar and cigarette box. They even have information in here saying it came from England, which is true. They're saying 1850 to 1899 and they paid $63 back in 2010. I do believe it's worth about that. We don't really see a lot of these, especially in the United States. This rough surface here was where you would strike your match. I think I paid $25 for this because of the hinge. I thought it was as is when I bought it. You know, this is something when you buy a lot of stuff at once. You're going to buy a few things and find out they're better than you think and you're going to buy a few things and maybe find out the condition isn't what you thought or you made a mistake here or there. It all comes out in the wash. This is a wonderful Moorcroft bowl and I paid $50. I believe it's worth about $100 to $120. It's one of their later patterns, but Moorcroft recently announced that they are no longer going to produce, which is very sad. They were potters to the late Queen Mary. Queen Mary was the one who would go to other nobility's houses and if she liked something, she would remark on it and that meant you were to give it to her. So she was not a favored guest amongst the nobility in England. I do have the other stopper, which I must have left in a box. This is the oil and vinegar set. This is Cambridge Chromecraft. Farber Brothers did the chrome. This is 1930s. It's so deco. I just love the style. This is the amethyst color, which is one of the more desirable colors and that's a cordial set. The cordial set I paid $40. They sell for about $85 to $90 now and the oil and vinegar I paid $10. They go for about $25. They go a little higher if you have the metal tray that they came with, but I don't. So this with the patriotic cover is made of gutta percha, which is an early form of plastic. And the Union case, because of being made of that material and because of having the patriotic design, is actually pretty desirable in and of itself. When you open it up, it has a daguerreotype, which is the first form of photography. Daguerre was a Frenchman who came up with this process in about 1839. He became a very wealthy man because of it. When you turn it, they look ghostly. So don't leave these in sunlight because they are inclined to fade. Tintypes would be done on metal, but these are not tintypes because, again, look at the ghostly nature of this very cute young woman in her outfit. Tintypes start to replace these around the 1860s. And this case, which is a leather case, is rather plain, but it's a great piece as far as the picture of the woman. And I think I paid $20 each for those, and I suspect that they'll sell for the young girl about $45. This one, because the case is good, may be more like $75 or $85. Here's one of these very fun flower power pieces, the luggage piece here. One of the few mid-century things I got at this sale, and I'm surprised how much these are selling for now. They're going for around $35. I honestly paid $12 because I thought they were going around $25 like they used to, but they're very popular now, and I can see why. They're just really fun. Another lovely Art Nouveau piece, French again. She's just so pretty. She's in spelter, but she has the patina. She's just so pretty. She's going to date to about 1910. I believe I paid $50 for her. I think she should sell for about $135. And more Valentines, with affection and regard. I thought that was so cute. It's got the honeycomb as well, so that one's a little better than some. With Leb's greeting, best wishes. This one's bigger and a little more complicated, so this one's going to be a little more valuable. And it's a little earlier too, maybe around 1900. This is later, probably 1930s or 40s, but I just thought that was so cute. I saw a pretty little bird sitting on a vine. He said he thought that you would like to be my valentine. And then it has a dog on the front. I'm not sure if the dog is saying that or the little boy. This one's fun because of the sailor suit. Again, this is earlier, made in Germany. And then this one, Black Memorabilia, this is a fake dollar bill folded up in here. The idea is that you would actually put a real dollar bill in there, but in this case it has the one it was sold with that says replace with bill. And that's actually really cool because these usually are gone because they were replaced with a bill. This next piece, I am not sure exactly what the purpose was. I just thought it was so fun. It's a mouse with a big long tail. I don't know if it was to hang on a wall. I'm not sure if it was to be used as part of a fireplace set to poke something. It seems like it must have had some deliberate use because you can hold on to it this way. Or maybe it was just an ornament. In any event, it looks like something from the casting that was done around 1915 or 20, and I paid $10 because it was just such an interesting novelty. If you recognize this piece or have an idea of its function, please leave a comment. Now this is a different company, but this is also a good China company. This cup and saucer is by Paragon, again by appointment to Her Majesty the Queen, Queen Mary. And this is the Paragon mark with the double mark that is the more desirable, and that's why these sell for a higher price. I would say this might be a $25 or $30 cup and saucer as well. And you may have noticed we're on top of another quilt here. This one has blocks with little wildflowers in it. A 1930s quilt. It's a summer quilt because it's thin and it also has a thin edge, which was typical of 1930s quilting. And I like the colors. I'm not sure if this was for a model airplane, but it does appear to have been something that was intended to fly. It wasn't just an ornament because you can see the way that the center is made. Now they sell reproductions of these that are just ornaments. People like hanging these on their wall. This one says Made in Italy on it right there. And I would think the value of this is probably around $40. I think I paid $15. This is interesting because it's made of wood, and that's because it was the Second World War and they were saving the metal. And Olympia, in addition to being the state capital, is also a lumber town. So they made them of wood. These are bicycle license tags. Bicycle license tags can be pretty collectible, and especially with that story. So I imagine this might be a $25 piece, maybe $30. This I got to send to Kentucky. It's just an old Louisville Slugger minibat. They're more valuable if they have some famous baseball players name on it, and some of them can be pretty pricey. But this one's nice because it's older. It's from the 1950s. Now we're going to get into some Militaria, and the first piece I'll show you is this bayonet. It's a rather long one, and you always look for marks on them. The marks on this one are pretty clear. They are both on the scabbard as well as the guard. Somebody actually carved into this the number 9. And you can tell by the way that it's affixed at the bottom that this is 19th century rather than 20th. It also has the piece that clips in. It's important that they be intact, which this is. And when we take it out of the sheath, we see that it has marks here and here, which would help you identify it. But this one actually is easy because it has French writing on the top. And it appears to say that it is from 1878, which means this would have been used in the Franco-Prussian War, which the French lost. And that was pretty much the beginning of the end of France as a major military power, and the beginning of France as the center for decorative arts and fashion and those sorts of things. I paid $50 for it because I was not sure what one of this age should go for, but I imagine it might be 125. I will have to do some research. These are interesting because they are a type of trench art. This one was made into a bank. You can actually take the top off and get into the shell, so you would have put your nickels or dimes in that one. This one opens up and is a lighter. 1940. So a lot of these style were done after the Second World War, as opposed to the fancy carvings in shells that we see from France in the First World War. And then this one is very heavy, and it's just used as some sort of a canister. And this one dates from 1906 and is German. So these sorts of things, they typically sell in the $35, $45, $50 range. This I thought was very pretty and very hopeful. We still hope for peace. This was commemorating the end of World War... well, we call it World War I now. Back then it called the war to end all wars, and the hope was that maybe we were done with war after this. Liberty, justice, truth, and honor. Well, those are very lofty goals, but the Treaty of Versailles was so punitive to the Germans that it bankrupted the country and allowed Hitler to come. So you have to think a little bit about how you're negotiating things. Devonware. This was made in England. The German flag is to be hauled down at sunset today and is not to be hoisted again without permission, according to Sir David Beatty. November 21st, 1918. Also from World War I is this. You can see the biplane. Directions for eight games. Ali Patriot. So it's actually showing the Allies. The back of the cards show the Statue of Liberty. Liberty enlightening the world. Inside it shows American flag, French airplanes, British airplanes, Italian. They all kind of look the same, but it's to play games. This is actually a fairly uncommon game to find. Sham Battle game counts. So you collect these cards, and when you got four of each, well, you got a certain amount of points, and whoever had the most points won. You don't see these very often, and I don't know what this should run for, but it's got the original booklet. I think we're going to probably put this online also that dates to 1917. Some other military-related things. This is a ship's compass. It's brass. It's a little discolored in the middle there, but the main thing is that it floats and it works. And because of that, even in this condition with the 1918 date on it, I would expect that this will sell for around $130 to $150. This is just so cute. This is an arts and crafts era piece from about 1910 in the oak frame. It's got the clock showing it's almost one o'clock, and the little boy is on the candlestick phone saying, it's time you were home, Papa. You see a date of 1916 in the corner there. I have a feeling he was put up to it by mom, who's wondering why her husband is still out cavorting at night. Another quilt here. Love the patterns, love the irregular edge, and the colors are great, and this will also go to Kentucky. I figure this is probably worth somewhere in the $9,500 range. This is a fez, and of course it's for the Shriners. Love all the rhinestones. There's the original hat box. Afifi is one of the Shriner organizations in this area, and I believe that with the box should sell for around $40. Next to it is this interesting piece of advertising. It's cardboard, but it is from 1909, and it says, the brilliance and snappy quality of our carriage varnishes first attract attention. Flood and Ponklin Company in Newark, New Jersey. Now, cardboard advertising in the past has not sold for the same prices as metal and enameled, but it's starting to because the metal and enameled is so expensive that now cardboard is the next thing that collectors who are new to the collecting field can afford. This is a Welsh miners lamp. I always send the mining stuff to Kentucky because there are a lot of people who decorate with this there, in memory of the old coal mines when that was a bigger industry there. This is a telegraph key, and telegraph keys can be surprisingly collectible. This one with the gold paint and the decoration should date to around 1910, I would say. The telegraph was invented by Samuel Morse in 1844, and it revolutionized communication and made a whole lot of other things possible. Stock markets, railroads that were able to time so that they could connect together, all of that sort of thing. And it's a mesco. So we're going to look that up because some companies' keys, and depending on the ornateness and the age, can really sell for a lot more than I thought. I believe I paid $25, thinking it would sell for around $50, which is kind of a base price for these, but this might be a hundred dollars or more. Cute little drum bank here. Lauer & Holland, Chicago. I just thought that was really cute. I think I paid four or five dollars for it. This is going to be from shortly before the First World War, and you can tell because it's a pin rather than horizontal. Horizontal pins came later. The honey knife here is K-Bar, and it's got a good sheath, and that's why I bought it. It's got a good handle. I would have paid more because these can be worth a fairly substantial amount. I mean, this could be $75, $85, except this one got sharpened, and they did a pretty ugly job of it, and that really does affect the value. So because of that, it might be worth half that amount. Yes, this is a genuine billy club, and a little one. I usually see bigger ones. It's curved. It's taped for a grip, and I'm sure that would hurt. The way it's carved on the end makes me think this is from about 1910, and I've noticed that these seem to sell in the $30 and $35 range. These cards, well, I'm not going to open them because they're not for everybody, but this is Marilyn Monroe, and it's a double deck with two of her nude scenes represented on them. They did a lot of these in the 1970s and 80s, but this is an original one from when she was still alive, and because of that, it should be more valuable. Typically, the 70s-80s ones sell for about $40. I think this one's going to sell for more than that. The copper phone, I just love the look of this. It's an RTT. This is a Belgian company, and it's got this great carrying handle as well. I have seen these for years. I've never owned one before. The reason I decided to buy this one is because someone has converted it for American use, and so that makes it interesting to me. I believe in the copper, this should sell for around $100. This is from the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers Association, a meeting they had in Grays Harbor, Washington in 1908, and look at that giant old growth tree and those guys on that huge saw doing this by hand. It was very dangerous work. Now we're going to get into the toys and games. Well, the first thing, it's dusty, but it's really cool, is this doll steamer trunk, and it's got these great printed decals on it like an old steamer trunk would have. I believe this is from the 1940s, looking at the color and the way that the mottling is on the inside, and it even came with the hangers and a couple of little doll dresses from the era, and I paid $20 for that. I think it'll sell for around $40 to $45. One thing that really surprised me is this beanie. These actually sell for more money than I thought, and we've got various eras of pins on here. The bootleg inspector, of course, that's referring to Prohibition, although it's after its time. Hoover for President, no third term, that was referring to Roosevelt when Wendell Willkie ran against him. And then you've got Mickey Mouse, good teeth, that's a good pin. These are popular because of what they are, but also it has to do with the pins on them, and because there's a couple of good pins, this may sell a little higher than I thought it was going to. I'm really thinking this might sell for $50 or $75. The pins are as recent as Barry Goldwater in the 1960s, and I care about you, and as old as 1930. Then in here we have the swimming duck. It does wind up, it does work. It's made in China, that means it's probably 1960s or 70s, but it's old enough now to be collectible, that's for sure. And this one was made in Germany, and it winds up and jumps around, and it's Swiss cheese. I'm not sure why you want your Swiss cheese to jump around, but it's a funny thing. Happy the Wonder Dog. This is out of the 50s, and I don't know why, but I just loved these when I was a kid. You press, and they just sort of collapse, and they go different directions, and they're just silly, and people like them. That's probably a $15 piece. The valet brush here, black memorabilia from the 1940s. I believe I paid $7 for that. The bobber here is a nice old one. This looks like 1920s, and it's got everything, both hooks and interesting paint. Those sell for about $15. The Elgin National Watch. It's neat because it's got the Roman numerals, and it's on a stand, and it swivels. It's a silver tone, but it's got a decent movement. It's going to date to about 1905. And pocket watches are not selling for as much as they used to, but it was clean. It runs. It's in good shape. I think I paid $40 for that. It should sell for about $85 or $95 with the stand. Down here, we have a Pelham's Puppet. These were made in England. They did Disney and various other versions, but this one I just thought was fun because it is the little green dragon, and he's just cute. He's got a great face. Just so silly. And I paid $18 for this. They typically sell for $35 to $40. It must have gotten moisture on it, and the original cardboard lid is sort of stuck to it, but this should clean off. And even if it doesn't, it's still a really good piece because you open it up, and it is the Pygmy phone. It is a miniature portable turntable. I wound it up. It works great. It's got the horn. It's got the needles. It's got everything it needs to play. And in the bottom, it has Youngster records, and you can tell from the graphics that this is something from the 1930s. These typically sell for a little over $100, especially when you have the records with them. So I was happy to get this. I've seen these before, and it's the first time I found one that I could afford to buy. And I'm excited to have one. It was on my bucket list of things I thought were interesting that I've never had in my inventory, and now I do. In front here, these were from the billiards parlors. These hung above the tables, and these are for scoring. Oops, we got it hooked there. $10, $20, $30, $40, $50. And then we also have it in the black and white. Here is an old pair of ice skates, and when you get these, especially with the paint, the leather is mostly intact. They have these curling fronts. You're looking at something from probably right around 1900. These strap-on ice skates do sell pretty well. This one's a little chewed right here, but I still think they're worth about $50. Comic books. And we have some Star Wars that are the lower numbers from 1978. Now these sell for a lot more money if they're graded, but you also have to pay for grading. And of course, you're also looking for how things are laid out and cut. This one was cut badly because they cut through the lettering. But these are some pretty good ones. Now I paid about $3 a piece for all of these comics. You know, a lot of them are not going to be terribly valuable because they're high number, but I think the Star Wars are good. And I just picked the ones I thought had interesting graphics. Will I pay to have them graded? Probably not. I'm thinking I'm going to offer these to my friend Billy Galaxy in Portland, who deals in Star Wars and other things, and see if he might like to buy the lower number Star Wars. And then he'll pay to grade them and make a little bit of extra money. But he's been very helpful to me in the past, and if I can supply him something that he can make some money on and I make some money on, well then everyone's happy. Now I paid $125 for these bridles and various horseback. Originally there was a price of $175 just on this, and this one is Rawhide from Mexico. Very well detailed, and that's why you start to see higher prices, because these are for parade and dress. It is possible that these inserts, the conchos, are actually sterling. I don't see marks on them, but they are not always marked. So I'm going to need to look into this brand. And then this one, which is a Fleming, I believe this one's American made, is very ornate and has all of the leather. It's in great shape. And then there was also this plate, Caroline Ford. I don't think that was the name of the horse. I assume it was the owner. And then we have these pieces as well, which may also be sterling. They're not marked. But in any event, there was just enough here that I felt okay about taking a chance and paying this price, because I do think these are good pieces. And when you get into the parade stuff, and especially things with name brands, then you have a chance of having some real value there. So we're going to do some research on those. This is an Euler, a big tall Euler, really tall. And these usually sell for about $40 or $45. I haven't had one this size before. About a lot of wall hanging items. This is really neat. This is cast iron from about 1900. And she has a bird and she has the dog. It's very well stamped. It's got a big hanging chain that's original. I believe I paid $40 for that. I think it's probably worth about $75 to $85. I got a number of Rie Muñoz prints. She was a woman in Alaska who came from California. She was a teacher. She went to Alaska on vacation, fell in love with it, and stayed. Became an artist of note. And her prints, which these were mainly done in the 1990s, these ones in the middle here, are pretty collectible now. She has passed on. We usually see prices around $100 for these smaller ones, and sometimes as much as $200, $250 for the larger ones. They are pencil signed. They are limited editions. Winter sport. They're really fun. They're very animated. They're colorful. And they definitely depict Alaska in a whimsical way, but definitely show the lifestyle as well. And so they are rather collectible. This was framed later, but this is a I also got the book. I paid $5 for the book because I thought the book helped tell the story of the picture. Darius and Tabitha Kinsey. Photography of the people of the Northwest, as well as the early towns. This is Snoqualmie, as it was in about 1900. He was a very well-noted photographer. And this is a print of one of his photos from the Mason's Logging Camp in Ashford, Washington, in 1914. Back when they're still using horse teams to get the logs out of the woods. It absolutely captures the Northwest as it was back in the days of the pioneers. This is a good piece here. This is a Maritime Commission Chelsea clock. Chelsea bell clocks are known for having been used on board the ships. My Aunt Mary worked for the Maritime Commission when she was in civil service. It's in a bakelite case. So this is going to date sometime around the Second World War. The selling prices on these are all over the place. They are anywhere from $145 to $250. I think I paid $75 because I did base my offer on the lower end selling price, because there were more of those than the higher end. But it does seem to be the same clock that went for a higher price as well. So we're going to test that out. Probably put that on eBay as well. This is a stunning piece. This is Victorian. Love the cherubs. That is marble, as heavy as can be. It is dated 1892. The condition is really good. It's so important on these that nothing be broken. And this one is in wonderful condition. It has its original frame. It also has the original bronze medallion in the back. I paid $100 for this. I already have somebody who's interested in it. I'm going to have to do some research on this. In the tube here, we have a fishing pole. A small and not terribly significant reel, but it is bamboo. And it is the Ward's Thoroughbred. So this was sold at Montgomery Wards, or through their catalog originally. It is made of split bamboo. That is the area you're looking for. It has all three pieces. The tip is in good shape, and that's all important. And these typically sell for around $50 or more. I believe I paid $25. This piece is a chess set, carved in Asia, probably from Hong Kong, I'm guessing, because it has Chinese dragons on it. It looks like something that was probably brought over by a serviceman in the 1960s or 70s. It does have all the pieces. They've fallen around a bit. But all hand carved, and chess sets are something that are very collectible and to give as gifts. And so because of that, I think this will be a good seller. I paid $25. I expect to sell it around $65. Now this piece I may have overpaid for, but I paid $100 for it. I think it's really nicely done. It's called the Pottery Vendor. There is the name Zulo of the artist. This is not a listed artist, but it is an Italian artist. And we know that partly because when you turn it around, it does have a nice Victorian frame done right around the turd of the last century. And on the back, you see that it came from Gump's, which was a good department store in San Francisco. And here it is, the Pottery Vendor. So I think this was a factory painting. I think this is something that they produced various copies of and sold. But it's nicely done. It's in pretty good condition. It has a nice frame. And I just like the subject because he is walking through the streets of Rome and he is selling his terracotta. And I thought that for someone who is a pottery collector, this might be interesting. I always liked the old ringers, the Brighton. This would have gone on top of a washed pail back around 1900. And you turn the and you could ring your clothes. The rolls were warranted for one year for regular family use, but they are still there 120 years later. So I guess they were pretty well made. And these usually sell for around $65 or $75. This I just thought was really cool. It's got a 1913 copyright date on it right there. Made by Myers & Company, Valparaiso, Indiana and Toronto, Canada. This is something that would be used for your child to play with that was also educational. And the way this works, usually you just see this on a stand, but this one is built as a piece of furniture. So you turn it back here and all of a sudden you have a little desk with a slate, a place for your pens. And then there's this scroll. And when you turn the scroll, it shows various interesting things that your child can draw. Cows, farm scenes, teaching the calf to drink. Funny that you would have to teach a calf to do that. There is a little bit of water whiteness from a stain on the edge. But all in all, I think that they're in pretty good shape. Montessori in the middle there. Lincoln and Longfellow. So this I thought was just really cool because you don't see these as a piece of furniture. Usually it's just the top part here on a stand. And because of that I paid $65. I think it will probably price around $135 to $145. And on the back, for more educational information, the 48 states. Sorry Alaska and Hawaii. This is before you were part of it. The Dominion of Canada is shown just a little bit. And then this is a resource map, meaning it shows the main products from each state in the country. And that brings us to the last piece out of the hall. This is an Emily Carr print. Emily Carr was a Canadian artist. And this design is based on the northwest coast up in British Columbia and some of the totems that are shown there. This print originally was done in 1912. You can tell from the way that it's framed and the colors of the frame that the framing was done probably in the 1950s or 60s. It's a nice big piece. Emily Carr is definitely known as a listed artist and yet the prices that she fetches, I think, for the style of the work are surprisingly low. So I paid $45. I think it's worth $100 or $100 and a quarter, which for a really big, colorful, interesting piece like this I think is an awfully good deal. So now I have a lot of work to do processing this. Some pieces are going to go to my mall spaces in Florida. Some are going to Kentucky. And a whole lot is going to stay here with me in the northwest. If you saw pieces you're interested in, send me an email at theantiquenomad at gmail.com. And if they're still available, I'll be glad to give you a price.
