Dug these old bottles up in a creek bed yesterday. Both say Duraglas. Based on a previous post on here, I know the Diamond IO symbol means It was made by the Owens-Illinois Glass Company. The 7 to the left of the Diamond IO symbol on the brown bottle indicates it was made in Alton, Illinois...

Look what i found at a local estate sale. It was hiding in a box in the attic. It is BRAND NEW. I believe it from the 50's. I have a few close friends tell me that it's worth some serious money. What do you all think? Im open to offers:thumbsup:

Can anybody give me any information about this Coke sign?

I picked up this wooden jewelry box for $3. It has some brass decoration around it. It looks well made and looks even better in person. There is also a little side compartment. Whats cool about the side compartment is that it only opens up if you open the box first and pull a brass pin out...

I found the following in a thrift store: All-metal Cosco (?) folding chair, mid-century style. I think the style is called either Hamilton or Stylaire. Other similar chairs I have found online all have vinyl backs and seats; this one is all metal openwork. Can anyone tell me more about it? Is it...

After some extensive hiking and hacking through the woods, I come across the cellar holes of the old farm house property. As I dig deeper into the thickets, I come across springs for beds and melted glass scattered across the ground, along with other metal pieces. This is where it gets good, as...

Vintage Projector Help!!! I'm wanting to buy a vintage 16mm projector but can't find the right one for me. I want one that displays a large picture so I can have a nice old movie night with my family. Which projectors have a large display. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I found this apple at a local thrift store and searched all day online trying to find out (with no luck) what brand it is. The apple is not perfectly round but the lid fits fairly well in it. The sides are about 1/8 in (0.3175 cm) thick and the whole piece about 5 in (12.7 cm) tall from...

This type of thread has probably been posted before, but I haven't seen anything along these lines for a while. Post a picture of your tiniest bottles!! Here are my smallest, an adorable cold cream jar I picked up at an estate sale and a little cutex bottle with a quarter for size comparison.

Gold in the hole! UPDATE: FIRST GOLD! So I was out hunting at three different locations today. In the first two locations, I found all the clad. I just hate finding quarters from 1965! One year away from the goods!(always drives me nuts). Moving on, I went off to a new spot out in the woods...

I bought this bracelet in a lot purchase at an estate sale. It is marked inside the back clasp 585 which i know stands for 14k and means european or german. It also has AMU which I think means it was tested and confirmed to be 14k or .585 percent gold. Not certain if that means it was tested to...

Vintage Wendy's Table Found. Newspaper Print & Cast Iron. Good morning everyone. I was doing a bit of cleaning and I found an old table in the basement. Apparently it is an old table from Wendy's back in the 70's? It has very cool old newspaper print around the top of it. I would say it is in...

I have a locket ring that I picked up at a garage sale about two years ago for 50 cents. It looks to be made of some kind of antique metal or pot metal. The ring is the size of a quarter.. It's not marked. There are several small circles on the lower side of both sides of ring, however I cannot...

Any idea on these pieces? Game? Toys? These are either before my time or after but they are made of wood, unlike the junky toys made today. Not sure what the figures are but could they have had parachutes attached? There were a few of each color in the bag I purchased at a sale for $1.50...

I am posting this here just to help out everyone. If anyone is a newbie garage saler, they will learn a lot from this video about networking and how to get the best deal for an item. This is the 5 things I do at garage sales in order to make the most money out of what I buy.

Here is a video of my two new detectors, (or two old detectors), from Garrett. The TR Discriminator (Fortune Hunter) and the PB Groundhog TR/VLF (Fortune Hunter). They both work, pretty well. Still figuring them out. Anybody remember these? Skip to 0:58 for vintage detectors! GL and HH, CJ

I'm very interested in Depression Glass, and I'm hoping to buy some items around my city (Richmond, VA) and sell them on Ebay or Etsy to make a little money. Anyway, I think (hope) I found some good pieces today. I bought about 35 items all together, and I used some books from the library to...

I've been trying to get into depression glass, and today I bought many pieces from a yard sale. I got a few guidebooks from the library, but I'm still having some troubling ID'ing some of the pieces. Help is appreciated!

I bought this little pin on a hunch at a vender's mall for the whopping sum of 10 cents. It depicts Richard Nixon with a paper bag mask over his head that can be flipped up, but other than that, I know nothing about it. :icon_scratch: I'd like to list it on eBay but first I would like to know...

Have two vases that have a mark on the side and hoping someone can tell me about them. They are about 7 or so inches tall and look like they are a combination of metal with glass coating , not sure.

Friends, I need help finding a dog statue that was lost during a move (yes, that is the moving picture & possibly the last time I saw the statue). I don't know much about the statue & the above picture only has the rear-end view of the statue, just below the doorknob. For size reference, I...

Went to a few yard sales after a fun night clubbing for my friend's 23rd birthday. At a yard sale I stumbled upon a really nice looking cameo necklace. Was gonna list it on Ebay, but I couldn't find out anything about the markings on the back (It keeps redirecting me to "shipping"). As I'm...

hello all, this is my favorite recent thrift store pick, paid $10: appears to be a Caribbean harvest scene. seems to be the work of a fairly skilled hand; quite a bit more dedicated than what i'm used to with a lot of "folk" and "outsider" art (which I will probably end up listing it as it...

I found this motorcycle toy and am trying to discover who made it and the year. There are no words or numbers on it for identification. I found it metal detecting on a farm in Illinois. Other toy cars where found dating from the 1950s - 1970s in the same area. Thanks! I can't find anything...

Old Batteries - 1930's? I dug up three of these old batteries in a ruined farmhouse. Any guesses as to what company this might be? The 1930's perhaps...? T The words I think I can make out are: "instruments", "used", "to give", and "chemical". But these are just guesses. Thanks, fellow...

White's Vintage Coinmaster - Question for the Old Timers Hey all. Back in '84, a friend of my father's gave him a White's Coinmaster 6000/Di Series 3, which we had fun with when I was growing up. I got pretty darn familiar with that machine over the years and my dad still breaks it out once in...

Hello treasurenet! I have recently come upon a very large collection (1200+) of antique/vintage sheet music. The collection dates from the late 1800's-mid 1900's. I have sorted through each piece individually, grouping them into poor, fair, good, mint. As stated above there are 1200+ sheets...
