Odd Yard Sale Finds

Month

May 2012

What a dashing looking couple!

For all of the stuff I come across, I keep very few things for my personal collection. Here is one of them: (or would it be two of them?) A great looking pair of large ceramic salt & pepper shakers. They do have a certain charm, don’t they.

“Don’t foreget the e”

He did make himself an easy media target, didn’t he.

Here’s the classic clip of Dan giving his famous spelling lesson:

They don’t make funny ashtrays like they used to.

Paperbacks of the “Pulp” genre, like this one, are highly collectible, strange as that might seem to the non-yardsaler. I think I bought this one for 25 cents, and sold it for a lot more.

One of my favorite finds.

This little figurine tells a very big story. Apparently American GIs (aka Kilroy) left a lot of little somethings behind after the World War II occupation of Europe.

Is he super cute, or super tacky?

I almost missed him. As I was leaving the yard sale, I took one last look, and there he was, poking out from underneath a pile of junk. Image
