Out Of Control



Oly smokes!  This past winter of collecting and storing has left me in somewhat of a quagmire!  I've no more room to store anything in the house, uggh!!  In fact, I've now begun storing items in the back of my truck!  I've a sweet vintage train set in 2 boxes in hidden in the confines of my canopy.  I also have a box of vintage Grateful Dead books and a very cool drawing of actor Sam Elliot, lol.

I've just packed a huge Dell computer box with a ton of knick knacks and glasswares.  The items shown below would not fit in the box.


I've still a mantel to clear as we're rearranging and updating the decor in the room.  


Most, but not all the items are vintage and some you may have seen in my shop.


I hope to get pics taken of these straggler items like the old bakelite and brass clock, figurine planters, old cigar box, the vintage Davy Crockett collectors cards, and get them listed.


Need a circa 1910 compass??  I've got one for ya, but as you can see it has a crack in it's crystal.


Feeling a little bit looney? How bout an old "Looney Bin" placard?


I hope to have this awesome solid copper "Miner" figurine listed, but trying to figure out what I did with his handstaff.

Well, I should be looking instead of sitting here posting.  Hoping you have a great week of vintagicity hunting or whatever it is that strikes your fancy!!
