Art Deco Ceiling Light


Found this great Art Deco Ceiling Light, or a least I think it is art deco. If anyone knows any different please let me know. It is a beautiful piece, the picture really doesn't do it justice. The light is in very good shape to have been hauled around as much as it has been. It has been boxed up for at least 5 years maybe longer.

Salt and Pepper Shakers
















I have come across lots of salt and pepper shakers in my hunt for treasures. I really did not realize there were so many people who collect salt and pepper shakers. These would make a great addition to anyone collection.

Ocarina Flute


OK it took me a while to figure out what this was. It is heavy and is in pretty good shape. I search eBay and finally found one like it. It is a musical instrument; Ocarina Flute I think. If this is not the correct name for it please let me know.

Antiques and Collectibles Old Bottle

http://www.junkables.com/
I am amazed that this old bottle was not broken and in decent shape. It was in the bottom of a box I was going through. “The Old Blend Whisky of the White Horse Cellar - established in 1742. The label is in pretty good shape and it still has the cap. If you are interested in seeing all the items we are going through, please stop by our website. http://www.junkables.com/
It has been a lot of work but I think it will be worth it in the end.
Thanks

Flash Gordon Comic Strips








http://www.junkables.com/The great treasure of the day: a collection of old Flash Gordon newspaper clippings. Someone had taken lots of time and energy gathering lots of comic strips of Flash Gordon. The papers are very old and are crumbling at the edges. They are from the Post-Dispatch and some are dated Sunday October 29, 1939. If you are a Flash Gordon fan you have to see this.

Vintage Cameras











Today I found vintage cameras. Kodak Hawkeye - ILOCA (German I think) - a 420 Polaroid and a Model 80 Polaroid with the case and Flash. I think I am getting the "disease", because I am getting more and more excited about going through the boxes. I am going to have to limit myself to one or two boxes a day. It seems to be too overwhelming when I go through 4 at a time. I have to open up every box and drag everything out just to see what is inside the boxes and then I have to take pictures of each item for the website and load it onto a database. My basement now looks like a junk store. Oh well it is all worth it.

Legend Products, Chalk Heads








Today I uncovered a box of Legend Products - (Made in England) heads. There are over 20 heads. To a collector of chalk items this would be a great treasure.
