Tuesday Treasures - September 24, 2024

 Remember how excited I was to find a one-piece salt and shaker in the Goodwill Bins?  

Well, St. Vincent de Paul had the same one (which I didn't get) and this one (which I did get)!  It's a souvenir of Hollywood, Calif.  Still has it's cork stoppers. 

I also picked up this little brown Scottie dog the same day.  It has a loop so it either had attached puppies, or is an unattached puppy.  

After that big postcard haul from there every time I go in I get another packet two.   Most packets have four postcards for $1.  I can see two of them, but the middles are a surprise!  I've gotten quite a few antique undivided back ones, and some from Germany, Canada, Monte Carlo, Spain, and Italy.  Of course, there are often ones for 5¢ as well!  

The Empress Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada postmark 1921

This one is interesting.  It looks like a divided back, however the area on the left is for a return address only. 

For 5¢ each I got a bunch of 1960s 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" Disney.  I got the duplicates, my son kept the singles.   I love that crabby pig, who is named Practical Pig (1933 Disney short animation The Three Little Pigs) .  He's had to work hard to make up for Fiddler and Fifer's lackadaisical attitudes! 

There was another city-wide yard sale this past weekend.  I'm working on those photos and research. That post will be next Tuesday, and Wednesday it turns out.  It is extremely heavy on the artwork.  Extremely heavy...
