Items of Value Inc

     We are offering you one 3-day sale at this address, probably to be followed by another at some time later, because there is so much that has been stored that we need to display and so little room to display all for one sale.  For this first sale, think 1960s vintage collectibles plus 1980s collectibles.  For some of you this will be a second childhood or a trip down memory lane.  You will find a FINE vintage CocaCola metal cooler, large yellow Pepsi thermometer, CocaCola stenciled wood bottle crate, CocaCola metal bottle carrier, also vintage coffee grinder, three lithographed tin doll houses including one with furniture.  We have also put out two containers of costume jewelry.

     On the outside balcony sitting area, we have set out a few of the over 30 folding chairs available to you.  You will also find a recently repainted metal garden bench there.  When you come into the house, you will enter into the kitchen.  We provide you wrapping paper, some paper bags, and many plastic bags for you to use.  Still, you should plan on bringing with you canvas bags and/or empty boxes.

     Who will purchase the vintage jewelry box that has "Jewels" in script pressed metal letters on the lid?  Who will  purchase the vintage purses, some beaded, and who will treat themselves to a period sun hat?  We also have put out a selection of vintage embroderies and material from around the world.

     We have a vintage cast iron horseshoe set, a retro croquet set, a vintage pachinko game from Japan, two riding crops, vintage stapler and scotch tape dispenser, marbles, a metal rug beater, a sad iron.  We have vintage games in very good condition in their original boxes.  The rarest item will be the large lithographed tin doll house, which has two gables, a chimney, measures 44" long, and is accompanied by a swimming pool and molded plastic furnishings and people.  It is in fine condition. Note also the light string comprised of 3 white plastic skulls and 3 red devil's heads, a rarity in fine condition.  Another item you probably will not recognize is the bola, from South America, consisting of 3 heavy balls in wrapped in rawhide attached to woven leather cord.

     For musical instruments, we offer you a Hodo II banjo with Remo head, in its case, both in good condition.  We also offer you a Renell vintage accordion in its period case.  We have counted over 800 CDs, covering a large variety of musical tastes and periods, also about 40 DVDs for you to choose from.  We have put on one table as many vintage comic books, magazines, and newspapers as we have space fore.  Among the more modern collectibles, we offer you over 100 Keepsake Christmas ornaments, in their original boxes.  Along with the modern Christmas decorations, it will feel like Christmas in July at this sale.

     There is a lot of new kitchenware, including small electric appliances.  You will find hand-painted ceramic ware, porcelain dinnerware sets.  You may like the variety of handmade ceramic pieces including square plates in the Japanese fashion, a large variety of bowls, teapots, individual cups.  We have put a set of four authentic stenciled Windsor side chairs around a square table and loaded it with handpainted ceramic fish-shape plates and a large period aluminum bowl in the middle filled with artificial fruit.

       You women will enjoy going through clothes, including blouses and coats.  We also have a few men's suits in like new condition. We have filled two bedroom closets with clothes and vintage hats for you.  You will find a collection of antique celluloid vanity hand mirrors and brushes on a table along with some of the many Christmas items we offer you.

       Be dazzled by the colors of the crystal stemware on the dining table.  It includes small red liqueurs decorated in sterling silver ornamentation.  We have several partial dinnerware sets, but by far the largest is the vintage Dansk style white porcelain set by Rosenthal.  In the china cabinet you will find more cut crystal goblets, pitchers, and assorted plates.  We seem to have an overflow of cut crystal goblets at this sale.  In short, you will find a lot of variety at this sale to choose from.
