Antique or Vintage Items You Love - Not For Sale

[burgyeb]

The watch, banjo, and drums are all super! Love vintage and antique items, particularly if they are being preserved as family heirlooms! Thanks for sharing pics!

Anyone able to work on resizing this thread for easier viewability? :-)

Best wishes for many sales to all,

One of the pieces from Mom's elephant collection. No maker's mark, but I took it the Antiques Roadshow which was held in Tampa, FL on June 25, 2005. They told me it was from 1890 and was of Czech origin. Valued it at $75. Of course to me it's priceless and will remain in family. It is 10 1/2" tall.

Very nice elephant collectible Florida!

Thanks. She had quite a collection. Over 1600 elephant items, not including her elephant jewelry. I only kept a few pieces. Some went back to family members who had given the piece to her [she kept great records]. The rest was sold on-line. Her collection is what actually got me into selling collectibles on-line after I retired.

OMG Ginny, that is too cool! I've always wanted to go on Roadshow, but I don't have the knack for getting tickets it seems. The elephant is really cool, too, I just love antique/vintage items, so much better made than newer stuff and usually with unique looks and features you don't find much nowadays.

Your mom sounds like she was a great and wise lady!
