You know I love a great antique haul.  I also love sharing them and I do when I find some great pieces. Well.. I found some great pieces this past weekend so here we are.  We stopped at a thrift store randomly one day when we were doing errands which I brought something home for $10.  And, a last minute flea market visit paid off. So, here is my small antique haul from last week.

My Small Antique Haul from last Week

Deb and I had a bunch of errands last week including picking something up from Home Depot.  Well, right beside Home Depot is a Salvation Army.  We rarely get out that way in town so we stopped.  They had a lot of great things that day including this clock with a price tag of $9.99. I’m so confused by the age of it.  I thought it was old because of the style and the glass and brass door on the front looks old.  However, the mechanism to run the clock is new.  It’s made of plastic.  However, I’m not sure if the clock is actually old and someone switched them or if it’s new. Whatever it is, I don’t care.  It’s perfect here in our family room.  We have never had a clock in here so I’m enjoying it.  It chimes every 15 minutes but it is set to a very low setting so you have to really listen to hear it. Let me know if you have any information on it.

I met my cousin at a flea market that is in the town we used to live in on Sunday. They hold it the first Sunday of every month all year long. Since our weather isn’t good during the winter, it is inside only. Once it starts warming up, people set up tables outside and the closer to summer it is, the busier it gets.  The weather was fantastic on Sunday so people were already outside.  There was a vendor who had two tables.  Everything on the one was $5 and everything on the other one was $10.  She had so many great vintage items. So, her booth was right up my alley.

“This is a 19th century Majolica plate featuring Mercury or Hermes carrying away Tanagra.”

I found several pieces at her booth to add to my collection of yellow ware and spongeware including a few bowls and this plate.  The plate was added to my cabinet in the bedroom that has all of my random green and gold pieces. I knew nothing about this plate until I did a reverse google search and I found just a small bit of information above. Let me know if you know anything else about this. I thought it was so cool. The crazing on it is spectacular.

Here is one for sale!

I cannot remember exactly which items were $5 and $10 but all of them were those prices. These two vintage wooden hand mirrors I know were $5.  I loved them and they went right in my collection of celluloid hand mirrors that I have collected for years. And, I found these gorgeous cast iron bronze finish bookends that have such great detail.  They say Stratford on Avon and when I shared on social media, I found out what that means.  Ha!  I guess this was the cottage of Shakespeare’s wife, which I had no clue.

I did find these for sale here.

And then I found this little wooden box.  I have no clue what it is or if it is old but the price was right and I loved it. I will be able to style this pretty easily so stay tuned for that.

And, that is my antique haul from last week.  If you like seeing this type of post, check out all of my antique hauls that I have shared over the last few years.
