Garage Sale Finds - 5/25/2011 4:46:37 PM    JustGlass   Posts: 1205 Joined: 7/22/2005 From: Green Mountains, Vermont Status: offline I had a chance to check out a bunch of  garage sale items that are going on sale Friday. I was told that a woman who was their friend went through the stuff before I got there and bought $100.00 worth. Here are some things I purchased. I was told there is more to be put in this sale and I can check it out before the sale starts Friday. I passed on a dozen canning  jars becuase I didn't think they were valuable but to tell you the truth I know very little about food jars. They looked like squatty bal masons deep blue aqua and a couple of masons. One embossed magic. Heres is some pics. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

RE: Garage Sale Finds - 5/25/2011 6:01:37 PM    swizzle Posts: 3596 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline You did good. The iron isn't all that great but the crock was worth every penny and then some. Richard Hudnut is one of our local figures. From what I've read he had a nice mansion, loved the oriental style and owned a ranch full of exotic animals. he also had 20 or 30 people working his ranch and in his mansion full time.

RE: Garage Sale Finds - 5/25/2011 6:29:57 PM    JustGlass   Posts: 1205 Joined: 7/22/2005 From: Green Mountains, Vermont Status: offline Ive been doing some research and found that the Hudnut perfume bottle is older than I thought. I found a list where it said it was marketed in 1896 and also in 1902. The iron although being in super condition and with box and pamplets isn't worth much. I think I saw where someone listed one and said it was marketed in the 1940's.  Good boat anchor. The crock I guess is 1870's era and well worth the $5.00 I paid fot it.

I'm from the Bennington area.  < Message edited by VTdigger -- 5/26/2011 7:44:22 PM > (in reply to JustGlass) Post #: 17

RE: Garage Sale Finds - 5/27/2011 12:14:03 PM    JustGlass   Posts: 1205 Joined: 7/22/2005 From: Green Mountains, Vermont Status: offline Vtdigger, Im live near the Rutland area. I travel down your way quite often to walk a large antique shop that is just up past the museum. I always wanted to look for arrowheads in the Bennington area and find some good old spots to metal detect. (in reply to JustGlass) Post #: 18
