Some Weekend Flea Market Finds - 1/8/2012 4:34:06 PM    div2roty   Posts: 1542 Joined: 12/23/2008 From: DC with a Delaware Antique Store Status: offline I picked up some nice items (no bottles) this weekend. Here are Saturday's finds: A nice White's Binghamton jug with a slightly leaning top and a nice flower. Some nice advertising, not cheap, but I confirmed a buyer before I bought them. A 3 gallon Fort Edward crock with handles, some stain and a chip on the inside of the rim. A western Pa stipe canning crock. A little stool that's dated 1914. The best find, an 8 foot Firestone porcelain sign with some minor wear.  I got lucky with this one.  I bought some of the stoneware from the guy and I went back to look at the stool and while I was there he told his wife they wouldn't have room for the sign (it was an indoor show).  Of course I asked, what kind of sign do you have?  I bought it out of the back of his van in the parking lot. Sunday's Finds: A canning crock (with some post manufacture painting) and a yellow ware mold. An Esso ice pick and a Wilmington Delaware thermometer which was neat to find in D.C. My favorite find this morning, a shoe shine box, with some early green paint. _____________________________ Collector of Delaware Bottles, figural bitters, early freeblown.

I had to pay a good amount for the two clocks and the Tru Ade thermometer, but I confirmed with my good buyer that he was interested before I bought them.  I won't make much money, but it is very low risk.  The 8 foot sign was a good deal. _____________________________ Collector of Delaware Bottles, figural bitters, early freeblown.
