I was able to pick up a few unique items at an a estate sale last week.
I found a couple of miniature vases, a copper pitcher, a wooden milk bottle, a Buffalo Ranch plate, a plastic cup, a miniature bar of soap and a metal Coca Cola tray.
My interpretation of the label on the miniature white vase is"made in Czechoslovakia" but I will let you be the judge.
Here is an enlarged show of the Coca Cola tray. It appears to be brass.
I was surprised to find this miniature Buffalo Ranch Plate from my home state of Oklahoma. I looked up the Buffalo Ranch online and it is located in Afton Oklahoma on the famous Route 66, not far from here. I think the plate might find a home in my Cozy Cabin project.
Lastly I thought I would share this. My brother-in-law and his wife saw this box of vintage miniatures at a garage sale the other day and picked it up for me. She said that she was sure I could find a good use for it.
Lucky you went to that estate sale, some nice little bits and pieces there. I have no doubt the brother-in-law's wife is correct. I too am sure you will make good use of the box of goodies. Can't wait to see how you use them. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful items! Will be waiting to see what you get from them as scenes!
ReplyDeleteYour things are very nice! I have to start going to Estate sales! What nice family you have to look out for you! :-)
ReplyDeleteJust for the record. I once attended a week long seminar at Tahlequah campus of Northeaster S U. :-)
Talequah is very near here! Where do you call home? I hope you were not here during one of our hot humid summers! Thanks for the comments. Troy
DeleteGreat stuff! Isn't it fun when other people pick up stuff for you? I like those little plates, I have one for the St. Louis Zoo and Lake of the Ozarks here in Missouri. If you want to see it here is the link to that post.

Very cool. I have another plate that I picked up a while back here: http://tulsatinystuff.blogspot.com/2011/11/recent-acquisitions.html It is the Wrigley building in Chicago and has a brass plate stand! Thanks for the comments.
