I told myself that I was not going to go to any estate sales this weekend. No getting up at 6 or 7 am on my off day. No going through all that trouble to get to the sale 30 min early only to be no. 91 on the list and watch someone walk out with all the items I spent the previous night dreaming about. No,Absolutely not. And I made good on that and slept in and relaxed. Yup! Then the sun came out, and so did the estate, garage, and yard sale signs. What's a brutha supposed to do when he has Saturday and Sunday off for a change? Well, I reasoned that it wouldn't hurt to stop and visit a couple of them, because YOU NEVER KNOW RIGHT? RIGHT!? You know how the rest of the story goes....(sigh)...
Bell & Howell two twenty 8mm video camera from 1950s.
WWII International Signalcards.
I actually met the gentleman to whom these cards were issued to. I could easily have pulled up a chair and listened to him for hours.
Vintage View-master.
This was a nice find. An assortment of 3D reels. They're so much fun to look at.
French story of a boy and his best friend who happens to be a red balloon.
1956. Based on a film.

Has to be my favorite find. Vintage metal trucks/jeeps some from the 60s. Remember Tonka?

So...that must be the secret...sleep in and then go sale-ing!!! This is an amazing inventory of treasure for one sale!!! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteOh my Goodness. We had two or three viewmasters and tons of the reels when I was a child. Wonder what ever happened to them. A great find and certainly worth getting out of bed for.
ReplyDeleteThe Viewmaster and the Tonka trucks!!! What fantastic finds!
ReplyDelete@Joy Ha! I wish I only made one stop that day. I won't be too hard on myself since it really was a gorgeous day to be out.
ReplyDelete@Barbara Yes, I absolutely do not regret it. You should have seen me. I was wearing a big grin all day.
@Laura Don't think I'll be topping that day anytime soon.
Thanks Everyone!
