Yesterday's estate sale (hosted by the Yes Co., here) was full of treasures:
(1) two metal receipt holders // added to my recent collection of receipt holders -- perfect for post office receipts
(2) lidded, engraved candy dish in silver and crystal (L.H. Peters & Co, Hamburg)// this piece needs some investigating -- I can't seem to identify the markings on the bottom or find records of this company
(3) little measuring tape (Darcoid Co. of Calif., Belting - Packing)
(4) painted red glass cutter (Red Devil)
(5) Washington DC souvenir note pad with metal cover
(6) Leather Wells Fargo checkbook holder/wallet
(7) box of vintage hair pins (Victory, Smith & Sons Corporation)
(8) two brass frames with country scenes (made in England)
(9) two hand painted floral designs in yellow frames (Hollywood, CA)
(10) other goodies (not shown)
a word to the wise -- don't rely on the honor system when it comes to estate sales. I left my labeled pile of items unattended (but under supervision) for a mere second and someone swiped a few of the items I was going to purchase. I just ordered a collapsible shopping basket (Reisenthel, check it out) to help avoid this problem in the future
