A very good weekend at the estate sale.

Here's what I picked up over the weekend at one estate sale,



Pictured is-
14 stereoview cards of various 1896-97 Egyptian pyramids tombs and such as well as the Eiffel tower, the Bastille, Venus De Milo, Michael Angelo's "David" etc. $5.00

a .22 cal starter pistol made by Vanguard in Italy-- $2.00

1986 Liberty Silver dollar and Half Dollar in original U.S. mint packaging-- $7.00


2 antique sterling silver napkin rings, both marked, one weighs 45.15 grams and the other weighs 21.12 grams both for $5.00

A set of miniature drill bits in a huot drill index sizes from .039 to .0135. -- .50

2 pair of antique opera or theater glasses-- $1.00 each

Mexico Sterling Taxco Money Clip marked .925 and weighs 15.18 grams --$2.00

a vintage Bronzed Empire State Building bank-- $1.00

a curvimeter made by Compass in Germany-- .50

A pair of Abolone shell salt & Pepper shakers with Utica N.Y. on them.-- .50



A print of Man O War by George Ford Morris dated and signed 1921-- $5.00



A vintage Garcia Conolon Model 2121D fishing rod in unused, mint condition--$5.00



A nice neon sign advertising "Coors For Florida". The "For" is formed by the L, I, D and the A in Florida blinking on and off intermittently. So when you look at it it looks like it says "Coors For Florida"



Ataxidermy alligator head and tail mounted on a piece of wood, the head is about a foot long--$3.00

I almost forgot, Last but not least is "Wee Wee Willy, fill him with water and when you pull his shorts down he pees on you, he was a must have for-- .25

Good day at the estate for you, and good prices. Seems all the estate sells I go to they must have researched each item and then tack on a couple of bucks.

It looks like you had a very nice haul there and the prices couldn't be beat, unless it was free

Real nice items at a great price, good for making a few extra $!!

The person that owned the house had passed away 6 months ago and the guy selling the stuff said he was "with the real estate company," (?) didn't make any sense to me. Oh yeah I paid $20.00 for the neon and the Man O War print needs some research done. It's probably worthless but I did find this-

Mine isn't hand signed on the botton right like this one and mine is a print from The New York Graphic Society so who knows.

I listed some of this stuff on Ebay already along with a few other things. Gotta make ends meet, work is way too slow lately.
