Antique and Collectible finds 25 July

This past Saturday I was able to do quite a bit of searching around and I came up with a good variety of pieces. I was able to get each piece for a great price. I think that my favorite piece is the Cutty Sark mirror sign. It was pretty dirty when I purchased it, but when I cleaned it up the piece came to life. Another piece that I really like, which is not pictured, is a Schonwald, Germany  small white creamer. I found a few other pieces that I really wanted; however, they were just a bit too high of price for my liking. Sometimes it can be difficult to pass an item up, but it the price is not right do not feel bad about letting that item go.

Auction Finds 11 July 2015

I have not been able to do too much shopping and searching around for items, but I did go to an auction on July 11th. Most of the items at the auction came from a closing cigar store. I was able to get some nice finds and got them at a great price. Most of the items that I purchased were cigar related; however, I was able to get a few military items and a few others.

Weekly Antique and Collectible Roundup June 22-28

This week I was able to do a bit more shopping and found a few decent things. One particular item I was excited about was a glass wine decanter from Sweden; however, the stopper on top broke so I did not provide pictures. Next week I will most likely not be able to pick any new pieces up, so I will not be providing a weekly roundup. However, I should be at it again the following week and will provide my new purchases. Soon I should be writing about different venues that I get my items at.
