Vintage Finds of the Week #11: Campfire Tin, Depression Era Pottery, Cast Iron Banks and More!

 

I don't know what it is about summer but the

days just fly by so fast.

 

We must be having a ton of fun!

 

Check out the treasures we found this week:

 

 

 

 

This "CAMPFIRE" Marshmallows tin

says it all, doesn't it?

 

Summer. Fun.

 

I spotted this tin and couldn't

believe how cool it was.

I'm afraid it might be

a repro or something!

I am usually not this lucky.

 

 

 

 

And then my hubby found another wonderful item....

 

A beautiful gift book "Letters from Browning" ...

be still my vintage lovin' heart!

 

Just look at the chromo lithograph illustrations.

I love the pink roses. (Of course!)

 

This little book is from 1846.

Beau's Valentine Writer.

Apparently Beau felt he was

the only one who could

write romantic verse well!

 

 I might just keep it on hand

for handy reference!

 

The hubby brought these home.

Matching lion cast iron banks?

 

Hmmmm.

 

I'm thinking possible bookends!

 

This is really cool.

I think it is a Westinghouse

Hall Pottery teapot or pitcher.

May have come with a

Westinghouse appliance.

 

I love the lines in the design.
Very 1930's/Early 1940's.

 

It looks like a bird sitting

 on a wire to me.
Does anyone else see that?

 

 

 

And also for your vintage

kitchen... how about

 "The Joy of Cooking?"
From the looks of it...
someone enjoyed cooking, a lot!
 

 

I loved this deep red tray

with hand painted roses
as soon as I saw it.

The hubby wanted me

to pass it on by.

I am glad I didn't!

 

The wooden spools were

a great find. I love to

wrap vintage lace around

them and sell them

in bundles according to size.

 

And the tin globe was a

happy find. But then I wasn't

too happy when I got home

and saw there were many

dents in it! The hubby popped

most of them back out so

I'm sure I can still sell it,

but for a lower price. 

 

 

And then of course, in my last post, I shared this

 curio cabinet and the fabulous deal we received.

 Now it displays my crystal.

 

 I'd love to hear what

you've been busy with or what you

found... drop me a line!

 

Enjoy the day!
