Inside a Maximalist Estate Sale: Antiques, Style & Decor

We are in Tacoma, Washington's Old Town. Just north of this part of downtown is the Old Residential District and a 1906 house having a maximalist estate sale. And when I say maximalist, I mean it. There is a reason that so many people are here, even though it's afternoon. But we're gonna see what's left. This person really knew how to pack a whole lot of really fun antiques and vintage, a lifetime worth, into a house where you could see it, enjoy it, and have it look really good and really homey. I love that copper washing machine. We sold one at an estate sale for $450 once, and they used it as a cooler. Well, I think we're gonna head upstairs first as it is crowded in here. Although I'll look to find here because I don't think anyone has gotten over here. So let's see how much a ceramic tree is for starters. $40. Fenton table lamp with the cranberry shade $210. The pump organ is $124. They say this is antique. It may have been repainted. It looks worse. All right, let's take a look here. We've got a Fenton glue fairy lamp for $48. $22 on the aqua crest. Movement stars fairy lamp is $45, but that does not seem like a match. This is Maximus decorating. Little shelves that you can put things on so you can focus on things and highlight them. Mirrors. I love the gothic architectural piece that sold for $250. This is Czech glass, 1930s. Seems to be in great condition, and that is going to be my first purchase. So we found something the moment we got in. That's good juju there. Paperweight here $24, but that seems newer. White jade is nice, but newer also. The hand base is $22. This is stained. We don't call it flashed unless it's actually an applied layer of glass, so that's stained. $20 on the celluloid. I'm doing pretty well with celluloid. The mirror is not in great shape, but the box is okay. The silk is fine. It doesn't look like there's damage. The hinge is a little bit loose, but I think that just needs a little brad, and we can do something about that. So we're finding stuff right away, and I'm not surprised because this place is packed. You can see how the decoration was done here. The secretary desk is nicely laid out, and let's see what's behind it. The violet tray is cute. That looks like it's Bavarian. This is a toggle clasp bell from the 90s. This looks like a 1980s perfume bottle, but a lot of these were made in Taiwan. $42 on the Fenton Cranberry Fairy Lamp is not a bad price, and this looks to be Victorian Bohemian. $32 on the cobalt with the enameling. I suspect that that had a dauber that's been ground off, though. I'm a little surprised they're pricing the Westmoreland Charlton Decorated Campbell Sticks individually rather than as pairs. This is an interestingly made basket of this plastic wire from about 1950. Spode's Jewel is this blank. You see different patterns on it. That's $8 for the Demitasse Cup and Saucer. $22 for this Charlton Decorated piece, and there is the Charlton label on the bottom. Definitely seen more interest in Charlton decoration lately, and hearts are good. Okay, they have 10 each on the unmarked jewelry, and I see a lot of the Russian pins that I like. We're going to look for interesting shapes and certain qualities that are different, like color, especially since they have so very many to choose. Purple is a little different. I don't see any signatures of town names on these. These were made in the last 30 years, but they have a nice look, and I do find that I can sell them that I don't find them with these white shades very often, so I think that one is a yes. I prefer oval surrounds. This is just different because of the colors. This is a 1960s capri blue. I like the color. It's not by anybody important. This is round, but it's encrusted in a way that's interesting. The mark on this is made in Austria, so Austrian crystal. I think the crystals are good enough to make that a buy. The accordion is fun. These are fun colors in combination. Even though I usually avoid circles, I do like the shaped stones and the Rivoli center, so I think we'll take that too. Cute little Marcosite ring, but the Thunderstone is mourned. You can see that this person was not afraid of color, pattern, and texture, and they have a lot of fun. Hello, everybody! I like the hook, right? They're asking 92, though, which is million I'm willing to pay, that they are getting to be pretty collectible now. Chintz plate is 20. You know, prices at a sale like this, where there's a lot of good things, are going to vary from bargain price to retail, just depending on what they think they can sell. This is a very neat looking quilt that is sold, it says. This piece of fabric looks interesting. Is this a big scarf? Wow, it's giant. It's almost beginning to be upholstery. It's a huge runner. 110 on the wall sconce. Lots of shelving. Lots of fun things on shelving. Another Fenton fairy law. Here is a sweet little piece. This is Fenton also. It looks much older than it is, but it is part of their centennial line. Back in 2005, little dresser jar. They're asking 32. It's a rental box on the Westmorelander prices I would charge, so we'll leave those. 86 on the Christmas fairy lamp by Fenton. More Chintz. I like the side-by-side bookcase. Nice old piece of carnival glass for 18. That has good color. I see another Czech perfume. This one not as much of a deco style. This is another category on the list of things that used to sell for more, but it's really nicely done, and the color is good, and I think it's worth the price. Cute pair of bust bookends. Borghese is a good blind. 95 I believe was the original price. 42 now. Egyptian perfume bottle. This is a neat tin box from about 1930. Chocolate box. $18. I like the fan. This tray is nice with the little decals that someone put on it. $20 from about 1940. This looks like it's Mount St. Helens ash. I'm curious whether it's from the original Mount St. Helens glass factory. We're going to take a look. First we'll check to make sure there's no oil in it so we don't make a mess. Okay, it's dry. No signature. It could be an early piece. There's a cute half. $16. Matches my outfit. All right, let's see what is here. I see some... looks like Alaskan fur boots. We'll take a look at those. Actually, probably some other ethnicity. Possibly even Russian. I don't know if they have a blanket price on shoes. $26 on the mirror. Now if that had roses on the end that would actually be a good price. Now obviously they've spread stuff out so you lose a little bit of the original look of the place. But you get the idea. And what they've spread out, of course, are Christmas ornaments. Another Westmoreland wedding box. That's about the third one I've seen in this house. This person did like to buy some of the same things over and over. Cranberry glass. And this is an older piece. You can tell by the style of the lid. It has the hinge. It's a nice syrup going to date back to the early 1900s. This person was very organized. Even her craft room. All right, more jewelry. I don't have a way to test this for Bakelite. It sure looks right. And it's $10. I'm willing to take a chance on that for that price. That's a cute little pin. Might be a little odd to wear though. That's sweet, but I think this was made up at a later time from buttons. Look at the glue on the back. Look how shiny and new that looks. These, on the other hand, look older. And they have nice rhinestones and interesting contrast. So I think we'll take those. This is an older Bakelite piece. The bar pins aren't as easy to sell, but it is carved and it's only $10. So we're going to try that. This is trying to look like the Philadelphia Bakelite, but it's not quite the right color scheme. This is a cute Cordicovia. Thanksgiving day wear, I guess. Okay, now hopefully they're selling three-piece sets as sets. I do like the flower. And for the three pieces, $10 would be fine, especially because this is actually signed. I believe that's a Corot signature. These are great because they've got the rhinestones. They're earrings, so we have a winner. This looks like it's Renoir. There is a lot of jewelry. These plastic pieces from the early 50s are fun. That's cute, but again, made up from other pieces of old that have been glued together. That was a popular thing to do in the 90s. Okay, I don't generally like stretch, but I like those stones. And the stretch is pretty good, so I think we'll give it a try. It's for a little bit of a small wrist, though. Now this looks like an older piece. I like the rhinestones. I don't know if that's going to test for Bakelite, but I think it's cute regardless. Yep, the clamper is a winner. This actually would look good on. We are getting to the holidays, and people will wear clear. Pretty colors. I like the black. I think these would have to be signed for me to be interested. This one has fun dangles. Anything with motion is usually good. This does seem to have some age, even though the stones are pabe, so I think we'll put that aside, too. One more Bakelite piece here. Yeah, I like that, too. Anything car or $10 sounds good to me. Underneath $48 is actually a pretty good price off the Thastoria square cake plate. The squares tend to sell for about double that. The Fenton piece here is a nice color. But $28 is a little more than I want to pay for a small one. Nice piece of Victorian silver plate. There's another Fenton piece. This is based on the Chessie cat from the C&O Railway. I've sold this piece before for about that price. This piece sold for $148, and that is actually a pretty good deal these days because people love these little drawers. I'm sure that's where all this jewelry was. Chinese checkers for $12 is actually a pretty good deal. It's got the marbles in it. Sounds like it has some. Oh, what a cute Scotty ceramic from probably 1940, I would say. Oh, no, a little later with the rubber stopper. It's a bank. Might actually be an 80s version of the Rainbow Heart. That's kind of fun for $30. I see a few silhouettes. Needlewood train. Don't see a price on that, but I like that. That looks like a 1930s or 40s piece. A bunch of old children's books. Westmoreland pen on a basket. That's a little different. $175 on the Fenton lamp in a good color. Little Fenton bear here is $20. Lifesavers. That's an old one. That's kind of fun. Someone could use that as a purse if they didn't mind it rattling around. It's just fun. Everywhere you look in this place. Ah, there's a silhouette that has the milkweed, which I like. $42 on the Blue Henon Nest is about the right price. There's another silhouette. I do like these with the... oh, and it's purple background. Oh yeah, that's kind of sweet. They don't have any of the silhouettes priced, so we're going to take them up and sell they're looking for. I'm sure they just ran out of time. That one is sweet as well. $64 on the dollhouse with a lot of the miniatures included. Seems like a good price. Here's an older Mexican Saltillo. You can tell by the fabric and it's $28. It looks like it's rather large, so if the condition is good, I would probably take that because the large ones will sell for a pretty good price when they get back into this age era. The How and Why of Machines. I bet this was a fun place to come visit grandma because there's lots of toys. Eagle is cute. That looks like one that would actually work. $20 is not a bad price on that. Serious. Let's see if there's age to this particular quilt. Looks like it's applique and quilt. Oh, $115, and it is newer than it looks because you can see that backing. This looks like Chippendale by Johnson Brothers. Is that right? Oh no, it's Syracuse, China. Huh, restaurant wear. Very similar pattern. These are fun just because of the contrast. The one on the left has damage, but the one on the right looks good. Silhouette box. That is a cigar label, but not original to this box. This would have been a cami box originally from about 1930. Made of cedar. Nice to store your hankies in so that the bugs don't get to them. This isn't finished, but it's awfully cute. Looks like it's from the 1930s. Burnt orange, rope hats, mouse overalls, moss green. So they basically told you what to do. Cruel work on the pillow there. It's nice. Look at this darling laundry bag with the cat. Cute embroidery. Also not priced. We'll see what they want. Well, Fanny and Annie aren't subscribers, but you can be. All you have to do is click the subscribe button and then click the bell to be notified of future videos. Fanny and Annie are the Sirens of Bright Park, which is a big urban park, 27 acres, and has 145 different species of trees. The reason that this ended up becoming the nice neighborhood of Old Tacoma. Let's take a look at these prints. See, these are $6 each. That makes me think that some of these prints might be reasonably priced that I've picked out. And the strategy I like to use at a sale where a lot of things are more expensive is to find the things that aren't priced, because oftentimes they could do a better deal. This is an interesting catchwork abstract. I like the color. That's cruel work. That's nicely done. $32. You have one more room upstairs here, but wow, a lot of people are going to be cautious here. $32 on this. Some sort of a potpourri sensor made of brass looks Asian. What do you think it was? For incense? Yeah, I think so. Some sort of a sensor. Pretty cool. It is really neat. Very well articulated, if you look at the hammer. Yeah, the detail is really great, isn't it? Yeah, I thought it was pretty impressive. Railroad matches. We'll see what they want from those. The Wit and Wisdom of Oscar Wilde. Ah, the fish piece is cool. I know someone who collects those, but that is low price. Oh, it's gobble. That's interesting. These little dogs were given out as advertising pieces, I think by a stove company. Ah, yes, the fireplace shop. Longview, Washington. There is one basket here that looks Native American. I think this is Salish of some sort. $35 is a pretty fair price. Condition overall is pretty good. It's a fairly loose weave, probably for berries. Looks 1940s. I like the accordion. $2.25 on that. $10 on the mountain goat buckle. Now, this is interesting looking here. Handmade in Russia. Interesting. Definitely has a Viking look to it. The turtle is cute, and people love their turtles. $16. I think that's Sriracha wood. Mondale's Machinist book, $12. Hostessel, Missouri, $10. That looks like it's Henri from Italy. Bullein Bambola. See how fun it is to use old things on the walls. It's just interesting. It's a conversation piece. $1.24 on the Canadian desktop file. It's actually not a bad price. It's a rather specific collectible thing, but it is in great shape, and it's got a 1906 patent date saying the year this house was built. Handmade Longfiller, Predelector's Trossen. Ah, that is actually a great price. I don't think I can legally sell it, though. 50 Golden Years. This is about the 50th anniversary of Washington statehood. This is done by De Grange's. I've sold these before. If it's not expensive, I'll take it. We'll find out. Nice list of Model T parts. $65 on this fairy lamp. Charles M. Russell reprint, given out by the Elks Lodge in Montana. Cool old chairside rack with the turn spool effect, and that is $75. All right, let's see what they have over in the corner here. Clock is 65. Old Prince of Union station here in Tacoma. Tacoma was originally a railroad town. Nice brass lamp for 52. I think that's newer, but this is old. This looks like an old miniature oil lamp. Milk glass and cobalt. I'm thinking this is from about 1900. Probably a newer shade, though, and maybe a newer mantle as well. It's nice that it has the hand holder. I have a collector for these. That's not really a bad price. Something to consider. $48 for the Imperial on the Thinker bookends. I think this is Fenton. Yes, $42. More than I can get for it. Some more Italian carved figures. This is a neat box for Imperial of 1930 spectacles. The Italian box is $25. This looks like something made here in the northwest. A lot of woodworkers here. Oh no, Virginia. Artistry and wood. These are relatively common tobacco tins. I like the radio I see under here. Let's see what the price is on that. $40, but it has a crack. That's too bad. Blue toll lamp. That's a better color for this. We see a lot of those from the 60s. I see an old Brownie style camera in here. Let's not say how much this is. Brownie reflex, a fairly common model. I think we'll leave that up where people can see it. Oh, a Santa walking stick. Interesting fossil for $24. That would be nice to hang. $24 each on these 1960 Western plaques. This is fun. This looks like Czechoslovakian from the 30s with the polka dots. Not a terribly sophisticated painting. Some of these can be very collectible. And yes, there's our mark. If it was a little more skilled, I would probably be interested in it at that price. Masonic Stein from the 70s. People are finding some cool stuff. Lots of it. I have a basket on the hold pile now. And I was just told by one of the folks who works for this outfit to go look in the garden that there were some good deals out there. But I'm going to take a little time on my way there. Edward Frockton. Yes, a Utah artist in bronze. That's a nice piece. Definitely worth the price. The Barrister Woodface sold. $78 on this basket. This looks like Eastern European work. This is Macaw. $70. That's about what I got for those. The miniatures do actually sell well. Tornora Kitty. There's a Howard Pierce Roadrunner for $68. And a tea set at Ravon. This is definitely a cozy den in here, the way that they had it set up. I believe this is a Klamath basket, that it does have losses, like it says. $72 on that piece, but that was definitely done for tourists, because of the shiz. The Big Bell sold for $315. That is pretty neat piece, actually. Ah, Suquamish. Probably been in Vancouver, BC. You have Suquamish here in Washington as well. $162 on that piece. That looks a little damaged. Beaver State. That's another Pendleton line. There's another Russian apres-ski pair. $48 on the totem. Now, depending who the artist is, that might be a viable piece. It doesn't really have an artist attribute. Oh, yes, it does. Fard Williams. Not bad. You can tell it's not terribly old, because it had a UBC label on it at one time. Is this a bottle? No. We'd love to see a bottle. This is a nice piece with the lid. This looks like it is one of the Salish tribes, and it is $265. It's a great basket. That seal's at $3. It's an old sake bottle. There's a new piece that also sold. The Native American baskets all seem to be priced about retail. They are nice, though. I like this leather flap. $24. Seems like a pretty decent price. 1960s. Probably from Spain, I would think. A lot of them were in that period of time. Some sort of a Navajo pot. A more recent artist piece. Argoite Totem. And then, on the bottom, out of nowhere, we have what looks like it might be... Is that Czech glass? Hmm. It's possibly Japanese, actually, with that casing. Someone got the Bennett print for $250. It has the signature. I just sold a Bennett myself. That's nicely carved and older. All right, we're outside. I need a little break from the people. Have to be careful about being in a place so crowded for very long. Some goose real old willow, but that one's got a chip. Wow. She really enjoyed decorating the house, the garden, and everything. Here's a fun McCoy piece. I don't see a price on it. That might go cheaply, and there's not a lot of mid-century in this house, so we'll put that aside. All right, we have some discount area over here. A lot of tools and useful things. This certainly has a rusty rustic look, the oiler there. $24 on the munitions box. Tools and lots of useful stuff. A lot of this ends up being overlooked at an estate sale like this that's mainly about antiques and vintage, and so you can get some good deals on that sort of thing if that's what you're after. The pulley here, the green paint, is not original, I don't think, but it is a nice looking pulley. Outboard motor is an old Johnson from about 1940. This old 60s homemade tiled little bowl there. I like the box over there with the ethnographic bits on there. Let's take a look and see if we can find anything about who made that. Oh yes, there is the artist's information in the lower right corner. I'm a bit of a car nut, so this caught my eye right away. 1958, that was not a great year for the auto industry overall. And there is the Packard Hawk made by Stu Baker. They made 600 of them. Very hard to find now. I just bought a McDonald's Perfect Seal. I guess I don't really need another one, but that's a good name. That's probably a $20 jar. This neighborhood is called the Stadium District, and it is named for Stadium High School. Probably the most elegant high school in the entire United States. This was originally built to be a hotel for the railroad, and it came open right during a financial panic, and so the city of Tacoma turned it into a school instead. If you wanted to go to school in a castle, well this is one. It has a wonderful view, and yes, a stadium below, hence the name. Isn't this pleasant? What a great house. $85 on the tile top table, but those tiles are newer. I like the 1920s era. Snoopy Whirligig is cute. I'm a fan of these. They're great for display. I like the tall ones, though. Only $6 on this. This could be Bauer. U.S. Pottery also did these. This one is Bauer, definitely. 1950s era. Now there's a good deal on a wedding box. $14 is cheap. I like the wicker. Nice toll-painted piece here. There's definitely lots of other stuff that I could sell that I could buy here, but I'm trying to be particular because, well, I've been buying a lot lately. Ah, these are going to stay together. How nice. Rachel Marshall got the chair and the elephant stand. $2.50 on this interesting carved bench that looks Scandinavian. Maximalist decorating is especially fun in a kitchen because you can do lots of things that hold things, that serve things, and it's useful. A couple more silhouettes. Oh, these are nice for $12 each, I believe. Those are Blanco with Little Rondel on the bottom. Let's see what this drift drop roaster is. I believe that is a Wagner, yes, and they're asking $75. There's some pretty cobalt glass. I like the crisp shittin' jar. Okay, the ring bowl. We've got coasters here. $42 on the scale. Blue Willow. That looks like a Blanco piece in there as well for $26. Not a bad price. Some Eastern European pottery and the calico chintz. $20 on Reliance Coffee. These all seem priced about what I would get for them. This is Booth's Real Old Willow. English pattern, the blue willow with the gold edge. This is one Gold Edge China that does sell that their prices are about what I would get for them. These appear to be Blanco rather than Indiana glass because of the number of loaves. And this is Corn Queen. This is Shawnee and the Corn Queen is not as bright yellow as the Corn King. Some cute kitchen linens here. It's so neat that this person got to live with all this cool stuff and have it out where they could enjoy it. That is also Blanco with the multiple pinches. Well, here's the wall with the German tallcase cloth. I like how they got the fireplace surround up there where you can see the detail and then they've used it as a shelf. That's very clever. That cardamom is decorating, is finding different ways to display things. Here's how she used the top of the piano as display. $2.35 on the Fenton hand-painted cranberry lamp. They also have the piano but we know those are typical to move and difficult to sell because of it. $52 on the Fenton Apeirn. There's a ruby Fenton fairy lamp for $32. Not seeing as much ruby glass lately. Toffolet glass. That's one of the Fenton animals. Here is a Charlton decorated Fenton piece for $40. And this nice basket with the patriotic motif for $55. Very nice wardrobe. Has a lot of Eastern European ceramics and a bunch of these. These are the Adam pattern. This is Pilgrim glass from about 1990. This is before they were putting the on the bottom. There's the serving pieces in the real old willow. Nice Sorrento tray for $48. This is Ring from the 1930s. This is a 1970s go-along and that one is $28. A bunch of Riviera, the linemate to Fiesta and Harlequin, that in the square shapes that I've always liked. They have $10 each on the Suit Bowls. Fair prices. $6 on this Pilgrim cranberry glass cruet is a very nice price. Blue Willow terrine is $48. That's actually not bad. We're getting into the season where people are going to be ready to use those again. $12 each on the Fenton coin spot. If you had the pitcher that'd be a great thing to go along. Ah, this came out of Port Townsend, Washington. Another Victorian era town that was competing with Seattle and Tacoma to be a big place. Well, Port Townsend lost, so that came here. Port Townsend has a great antique mall. We'll have to get there sometime. Interesting design on this terrine. Looks sort of like a sea creature. Love the barley twist table. Whatnot shelf is a nice size with the mirrors and then all the glass in the window here. This looks a little out of place here because it's more modernist than this is. Looks like a Chihuly type. Let's see if we find a maker name. I don't see one. A lot of people who studied with him ended up doing similar pieces, so we don't know who did that one. That's a different fairy lamp and I can't say that I know who made that particular one. Let's see if we can find out. Nope. No mark. Interesting fish scale pitcher here. Very thin glass though. This is a little more contemporary looking. No maker name on that. 48 on the Cranberry Oak, Alicent Hobnail Fenton Fairy Lamp. If this only had its bottom part, that would be a great deal on that. I like the Tree of Life. We see a lot of these in Mexico. Various variations on that theme. More Fenton and more. This person had a lot of fun collecting all of this and it shows. And it's neat that it's getting to go have a new life with all these other people. A knife set from about 1950. That is Faustoria's sun ray pattern in ruby. You don't see the ruby very often. I have someone who's looking for ruby bowls, but she wants something open. Nice old ice box that they were using as a bar. Great repurposing there. The Swedish Toll Painted Door is really neat for $2.35. It's too pretty fun. An old gentleman just walked up and pulled the tag and is gonna buy it. And I don't blame him because where are you going to find another like it? Hard Richorian Cher is beautiful. They sold the big mirror. She had used it to give light and contrast behind a bunch of dark objects. This is an interesting wooded check glass piece here. I'm thinking it's a $10 piece because it doesn't seem to have a tag. We'll take that. $22 on the Vesta. Cameos are $52. That's really about where I would sell it. $48 on that one. They have some other Alaskan marine ivory pieces in the case here. Nice guilloche on this. It looks like it's probably gold out as a comb, that recanular piece. Some little sterling pieces. This guy in the kayak is not badly priced at $52. Tooth made into a guilloche for $48. Enton Santa on the sled is $58. And people sure love the demoghost. That one is $115. So many neat things in this house.

One thing I have learned is look for the things that don't have a price tag and they often will give you a better deal because they just want it gone. So I paid $10 for the laundry bag and that's as much as I would pay for this. But it's so cute. It's from the 1930s. It's embroidered. It's in wonderful condition, and it's big, and it's a cat. So it pretty much had everything going for it. I paid $6 for the pilgrim cranberry glass piece and any of these little pieces from the 1980s. If they are cranberry at this point and they're five or six dollars, I'm buying them because, you know, back then when they were making them gold was about $400 an ounce and you have to use gold to get cranberry glass. Well now gold is $3,100 an ounce. At eight times the price there's just not going to be a lot of cranberry glass being made. Silhouettes. I got four. These were very cute with the blue background. That's a little bit different. Looks like winter. And these two I really like because of the foil, especially the purple. You don't see that color very often at all. These are all from the 1930s. I am really surprised that nobody snapped these up. They're sterling. Now they're weighted and everybody says, well, then it's just foil. Well, it's foil that it's heavy enough and the top is solid. Three quarters of an ounce to one ounce total of silver in these. I paid $11. Silver is $41 an ounce. That just seemed like a no-brainer to me. Cars of the World, the Washington 50th anniversary guide, and this price list of parts for the Ford Model T. These were $5 for all three. These I paid $24 for the pair. This one seems to be a very light wood. It almost feels like cork, but probably balsa wood or something like that. But it has glass eyes so it's old. It's pretty worn. This one is a cute. This one is something that somebody made probably in the 1980s, but this one was definitely meant to be used. And I have been selling every single decoy. In fact, I'm completely sold out. I had six at the beginning of summer. They're all gone. And those were great prices. The pulley I paid $10 for. It's been repainted at some point. I didn't hate the color. And a big heavy pulley like that is usually a $25 item, so I felt fine about that. These two flower power pins were $5 each. Now this one has a couple of stones that have been replaced. I'll have to get red ones, but I have some extra ones in a box. So that'll easy to change out. This is an older piece. You look at the finish on the back. Probably 1940s, maybe 50s. And I love the fact that it has dangles. So I figure that's about a $25 piece. This looks to be Czech from the 1930s. I love that blue color. And it has dangles too. This, I doubt, is going to test for Bakelite. I suspect it's carved lucite, but it's a bow pin, and I just thought that was really neat. I figured that's a $25 item. Same with the carved Bakelite pin from the 40s here. I figured that this might be in that range. It's 1960s, and even though it's round, it's got a lot of good dimension. This is a simple Bakelite bar pin, but again 1940s, and the price was right. This set is Coro from about 1970. I thought the deep blue color was good. And the silver doesn't look cheap because it has this finish on it. This, I just like the colors. It looks like a snowflake. I figure it's a good winter piece. This bracelet I thought was nice looking. It's got a little bit more design, and it fits about a seven inch wrist, which is a little larger than they usually are. These I thought were just neat. They are, I think, some sort of a pop feed nylon type of thing, but I like the studying. I like the contrast. They sold me this set together for $10, and it is 1950s. It's got the ear clips and the quamper bracelet, and that's a really good deal for that. This is carved Bakelite. I was very surprised somebody didn't snap that up for $10. That's right out of the 1940s. This piece I just thought had good color. It's Austrian crystal. It's marked. It's from about 1960-65, and I thought that was good. Even though it's a wreath, again, it's stacked. It has dimension, and that's what you're looking for. This, it'll fit about a six inch wrist and not look metal-y, and that's important, but it had good stones. And then the three Russian pins, I picked the ones that had the interesting shapes and a little different color scheme than I'm used to seeing. The Czech glass perfume bottle needs a little cleaning, but it's a great piece, and I figure it's worth about $50. They only charged me $2 for this McCoy Harmony bowl. It needs some cleaning, of course, but that's easy to do and a great price, which makes up for the fact that I paid $20 for this piece, and that's more than I would usually pay. But it is Westmoreland. It is Charlton decorated. It does have the Charlton label. I paid $22, actually. I bought this because I need it as an example at a presentation that I'm doing, and I didn't have anything that was Charlton decorated in the heart form. And hearts sell, and I didn't see any of this size box actually sold on eBay or even for sale on eBay recently, so I suspect it's worth somewhere in the $30 range. And then last, I got this huge Saltillo that everything is sitting on. It is big enough to cover a very large dining table or be put out at a picnic. It was $28 when they're this size and this age. This is 1950s. It's got good color. It doesn't have damage. It's a wool, which is what you want. People really prefer this to the acrylic. And one about this size recently sold for $125 online. It's just got good color. If you decorate with westernware, it makes baskets look more interesting because it gives a color spot. If you like fiesta wear, it's a great thing to put on a table. So there is definitely a customer for that. I hear resellers all the time saying, oh, the estate sales are charging way too much these days. Well, you know, at some point, they've got to get rid of the stuff. So go back on half price day. That's what I did, and I bought more than I bought the first time, and the prices were really good because I just picked everything that was priced at retail, and it was divided in half, and suddenly I'm paying half of retail. If it's something I think I can sell pretty quickly, then I got it. And besides, every guy needs a five dollar hat, which, interestingly enough, is what it sold for originally back in 1950. The Czech pottery picture here from the 1930s, I thought it was really fun. I didn't think it was defined enough to be worth paying $28 for, but at $14, it's a great fun color spot, and I think it'll sell for $35 or so. Dionne Warwick and Valley of the Dolls, I paid a whole dollar for that. It's in the original cellophane. I've seen those sell for as much as $18. The Delphinium Blue should sell for somewhere in the $40 range. The Mount St. Helens ash oil lamp with the handle I'm putting aside because I'm salting away Mount St. Helens items right now. I got six of these. This is pilgrim cranberry glass in the pattern they called Adam. They didn't do a lot of the drinkware, and so to have a whole set of six at $6 a piece I thought was a great deal because I remember they sold for something like $18 each new, and that was 30 years ago. I paid $10 for this. I always buy the Charlton Decorated Westmoreland if it's a heart, especially a heart with hearts. It's easily a $25 piece where I sell. This very cute little tin box for candy from about 1930 was $9. I'm sure it'll sell around $20. This is Royal Albert. That's a $15 piece that I got for less than half that. This is Fostorius Sunray. You usually don't see it in the ruby. You usually see it in the clear, and that's why I got that piece. This is elegant depression glass. You notice that it is a little bit better quality, a little thicker fire polished. It just needs a good cleaning, and that should be a $15 piece even in today's market. I did get this nice Westmoreland piece. It does have an artist initial. Westmoreland didn't typically sign like Fenton did, so that's an unusual thing, and it's a great color. Hills Brothers Coffee. Well, Coffee Chinsel and Hills Brothers is very well known here on the west coast because they were out of San Francisco, and that should sell for about $15 to $18. I think I paid $5, and I paid $6 or $7 for the brownie. I've been selling cameras pretty regularly lately. Some people want to use them, and some people want them as decoration. This cameo I thought was very nice. This looks like it is late Victorian, but when you look at the safety catch, it's probably a revival piece. It is actually sterling, and it was $26 with the discount. I should be able to sell that for the $52 or a little bit more. This piece, also sterling, a nice little book locket, and that has some good weight. That's probably an ounce of sterling that I got for $24. Another silhouette. I thought this one was really cute the first time, and at $5 it was especially cute. Another delphinium blue piece. The lovely little box there was only $9. I think that's about a $25 to $30 piece in my world. I bought a bunch of these Russian enamel painted pins from about 1990. The woman apparently collected a bunch of them and then never took them off the card. She had run a gift shop, and I suspect this was old inventory to her that she just never sold, and at $5 a piece I was happy to get them. This was also $5 from the 60s. I thought that was fun with the Aurora Borealis stone in a nice cluster, and it will be good for holiday time. These are Japan earrings from about 1970, and a lavender flower power pin. Nice Victorian cranberry glass muffin ear. I have been selling muffin ears pretty regularly now. I always sell this one for $45 to $50, and with the discount today it was $21. The Fenton piece, also cranberry, very pretty with the narcissus, and a nice size. The doorstop, now I get about $55 for these, but I haven't had one for a while, and if they're painted with the bow knot from about 1920, most of these were made either by Bradley and Hubbard or Hubley. This one doesn't have a mark on it, but it doesn't really matter. These are pretty consistent sellers if they're painted like this, and I didn't see this the first time I went to the sale, and neither did anyone else because she had it hanging on the wall, which was not where people were expecting it, and it was in a hallway that was very crowded during the first sale. This is an Henri carving. There were two. This one was in better condition. I put the other one up on the shelf, and someone grabbed it immediately after. Made in Italy sometime around 1960. It was $12 when they're nicely detailed and painted like this. $24 is an easy sale. A couple of World's Fair spoons from the Century of Progress in Chicago with the Native American. These are silver plate, so they didn't cost much, and this one has the Sun Tower from the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition. Two pocket knives. Now, I paid $11 a piece for these, but this one's a better quality Imperial, and the blades were in good shape. That's 1950s with the stag handle, and then this one because of the pink color, and this is another American made from the 50s, and the collectors do seem to like the ones in color. The pomade was inexpensive, and I just thought they were so cute. The flapper and her boyfriend with all that gel in their hair. A couple of railroad items. I only paid $2.50 a piece for this little coin purse that is showing Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific about the time they merged in 1980, and Maughan Lines out of Indiana. That's an old line that's long gone, and then I did step up for one Native American basket. They had a bunch sold before I got there. This one was a souvenir piece. It's a little later in time, but it has the ship. I thought it was an interesting enough style. It looks Northwestern, but I think it's actually Papago. I got it for $36. I do think it's a $75 basket, and I have really sold down my Native American baskets and was looking for something to spice up that collection, so I stepped up a little bit for that one. But to make up for it, they gave me all four keys for just $2. Well, now you've gotten to see an estate sale where they did maximalism right, and I hope it inspires your own collecting bug. I sure feel like going home and rearranging a bunch of my shelves, and I have some fresh stuff to do it with.
