Estate Sale Finds 9-22-14

This week end we hit one estate sale and a couple of small garage sales.  I was happy with quite a few of the things we picked up.   Let's take a look....

Chablis picked up a brand new heavy duty kitchen whisk and Pyrex measuring cup.  I got a pretty recipe box, a bag full of wooden clothespins for craft projects and this utensil holder full of red silverware.  I have no idea what this type of silverware is called, so if you know, please tell me.

A bunch of old keys and locks for crafting....

My first Pyrex refrigerator bowl with lid and the set of 3 green bowls.  All are in excellent condition.

These awesome skeleton keys, again for crafting.  It also included a brass USPS lock box tag.  Pretty cool.

4 brass bells. 

 A martini shaker but it was missing the silver topper and instead had this old Tupperware lid attached on top.  But the graphics on it are awesome and so retro.  Inside the shaker were dozens of old swizzle sticks.  A lot of them are from Las Vegas....

A cute Accent tin - never saw one like that before.  And Louie found the extension shoe horn that he's keeping for himself....

A bacon press that I have an idea for.  I don't know if it will work but we'll see.  I'll let you know when I try it.  A hanging napkin holder, and more assorted tea tins.   Chablis thought she was getting these, but since I paid for them, looks like she is outta luck.  Too bad!

A brand new glue gun with glue sticks - you can never have too many glue guns, right?  Plus 2 more tins and a Chase Sanborn coffee tin.

Chablis found a brand new set of silverware for 5 bucks.  She added it to her "If I ever move out and get my own apartment" pile that is growing by leaps and bounds in our upstairs spare room....

I couldn't believe it when Chablis found this 6 cup Pyrex tea pot.  I found the 9 cup one over the summer. 

Odds and ends for crafting like this nice pie tin, grater, 2 loaf pans and the Enamelware bowl....

I fell in love with this beautiful quilt.  I was at a garage sale and the man asked me if I wanted to see some furniture he had inside.  As we walked through the rooms he pointed out items like a dresser, a table, a television stand, a bed.  Well, I didn't need any of that, but this quilt was draped over the bed they wanted to sell.  As an afterthought I asked him if he'd like to sell the quilt.  He told me to ask his wife.  She agreed to sell and then went outside to find the matching pillow shams that were laying on a table.  I brought them home and washed them - not a spot or stain.  They are headed for the lake house....

Ok, here's my favorite find of the weekend - a vintage Wheary train case.  It's pale yellow with brown leather trim and handle....



 

 

The inside is red and not in too bad condition - not ripped, just a little discolored.  The best part was that it didn't smell at all - no musty, old odor at all.

 



The only thing missing is the key - darn.    Wheary Luggage was made in the 1930's-1950's.  I've already cleaned this up and it looks much better than what you see here.  Now I'm torn on what to do with this.  Keep it as is or re-cover it and put some new material or paper inside.  Keep it for myself or sell it?  I'm so confused!!!!!

What would you do with it?
