memorial day weekend

[jerseyben]

Hit a huge town wide sale on memorial day weekend. Probably hit close to 100 sales. I would say I set a new record for myself. Also went to a vintage toy show immediately afterwards and managed to buy another box of records there.

Grabbed some decent stuff. Mostly the usual:

-boxes of vinyl records, some tapes
-handfuls of retro video games, systems, controllers, etc
-a handful of jewelry, only 1 14k earring
-ray ban sunglasses
-a sterling spoon
-ronson lighter
-other various pieces

Yes, I was being VERY picky about what I bought. Only spent $50 for the whole day.

Also, my favorite piece of the day, this awesome trucker glass.

Thanks for looking.

What's up Ben. I haven't been finding records anymore like I used to. If you lived near me I would sell you all of my video game crap, cheap. Just to get rid of it. I have 3 plastic bins full of that stuff. I don't even buy it anymore unless it's a handheld gaming system. I pass on the other stuff weekly. I even still have that Magnavox Odessey from the hoarder house.

I used to have that Magnavox system, when I was a kid and it was new...

Too bad you're so far away, I'd go for that again.

I've found the RARE video games are great. Common ones, not so much. Commons do OK if you make a lot of 5 or 10 and start them at $10 or $20. Rare ones do Great on Amazon.

So how tall is that glass? Kind of shaped like a small pitcher or a creamer maybe. Looks mid century by the shape of the handle.

I will have to measure it but it is mug sized, maybe a little on the larger end. Still not sure exactly what it is supposed to be. Perhaps a beer mug?

I'd call it a small pitcher with an applied handle and pinched lip. 1960's. Is the spout and ice catcher type or "ice lip"?
IOW- Does the lip fold over at the top to prevent ice cubes from spilling out when pouring?
I think it may have been some type of promo item.
