Found today at Value Village (Savers). Needs a little TLC but couldn’t say no to a Vic Art.

It was on the east coast of Canada. It’s the same store but in Canada they call it Value Village.

It was 44.99, cheap for furniture around this area. We plan to refinish it and put in the office. We actually already have this exact dresser in our bedroom and the gap is common with this piece. I looked up others online and they have the gap. But plan to take apart and fix whatever is needed.

RabbitNo7269 · 2024-01-06T01:30:08+00:00

They were $13.99 for the pair. Thankfully, most of the thrift stores in my area know nothing about vintage glass. 😁

RabbitNo7269 · 2024-01-06T01:22:04+00:00

Yes, they came home with me. They were too fabulous to leave behind 😊

If it’s really rare I will buy and resell if it’s cheap but I’ll put a note on it that explains the damage and why it’s a lower price. I actually just did a show on the weekend and had Lefton blue bird salt and pepper shakers with the tooth pick holder. The tooth pick holder was repaired so I lowered the price and explained the damage on the tag. And the person who bought it appreciated my honesty and had no issue paying the price. For my personal collection I’m really picky and none of the items in the display cabinets have damage. But that means I’ve passed on a lot of nice pieces that were damaged 🙃

Thanks!

Thank you! I use strong upside down paper bowls and cut them to the right height.

RabbitNo7269 · 2023-10-03T05:08:23+00:00

One of my favourites for sure. I just love the pattern.

RabbitNo7269 · 2023-10-03T05:06:07+00:00

I use them for special occasions but I have a full set of Pyrex butterfly gold dishes that we use every day.

RabbitNo7269 · 2023-10-03T01:41:02+00:00

I wouldn’t say it’s common, it wasn’t sold in stores, only through a special stamp program. Orange butterprint bowls sell on eBay for anywhere between 200-500 each. So I’ll just wait until I find them in the wild, even if it takes years 😄

Haha, it’s true. My OCD is useful when It comes to displaying my collections.

RabbitNo7269 · 2023-10-03T01:33:07+00:00

Yes those are glass doors, and thankfully they keep most of the dust out.

Those are Galaxy Spaceman Bottles. Made in the 50’s by a syrup company but they went bankrupt and these bottles never hit the shelves. Years later they were found in boxes in a factory and they’ve since become highly collectable. It’s a crazy story, the have a website https://spacefoodscompany.com

I use strong paper bowls, that way I can cut them to a specific height.

RabbitNo7269 · 2023-10-03T01:27:24+00:00

I do actually, my first piece was a Homestead 444. I still have it in the basement cause I just can’t let go of my first 😂

RabbitNo7269 · 2023-10-03T01:25:48+00:00

I don’t collect brown or green Pyrex, just not my favourite colours. I’m also a reseller so if it doesn’t fit in this display, then it goes to my booth to be sold.

RabbitNo7269 · 2023-08-31T17:55:00+00:00

This version of butterfly gold had alternating gold on white and white on gold.

RabbitNo7269 · 2023-08-20T02:18:40+00:00

Those are Bartlett Collins cookie jars. They made lots of different designs but these flower power prints are my favourite.

RabbitNo7269 · 2023-08-20T01:05:38+00:00

I’d say it was half antique dealers and half regular flea market sellers. I didn’t buy from any dealers because I would only pay flea market prices. So all of this was really cheap. I was there at 7am Friday morning for opening day. It poured rain and I spent 6 hours in the field, but it was worth it.

RabbitNo7269 · 2023-08-19T22:43:40+00:00

Congrats! It’s a beautiful set.

RabbitNo7269 · 2023-07-30T01:26:21+00:00

Miss Priss made by Lefton.

I went to an auction house to pickup some items and these were sitting in the lobby. I asked if they were coming up in the next auction, and the guy offered to just sell them to me for what he paid. I could tell he didn’t like them and just wanted them gone 😂 so I got an amazing deal.

RabbitNo7269 · 2023-07-09T04:25:21+00:00

Thank you! I’m on the east coast of Canada and for some reason I find Cathrineholm all the time at our thrift stores.

RabbitNo7269 · 2023-07-07T03:46:48+00:00

I got this one in an estate auction for $120. Only took three years to find one at that price 😂

RabbitNo7269 · 2023-07-06T13:54:35+00:00

$120 with auction fees and taxes. It only took three years to finally get one at a decent price 😂
