Haven't Posted in a While... Eclectic Mix (Pic Heavy)
Been a while since I posted mainly because I haven't been going out to the sales. At any rate I managed a few finds over this past weekend, all from the same estate sale. Nothing spectacular but all vintage and decent money makers for the price I paid. Purchased everything for $50. In no particular order...
The first photo shows 4 late 1800's almanacs. Always like old ephemera myself and buy it when I find it.
Next is a cardboard calendar from France for the year 1922. Nice print by JL Beuzon and a cool map on the back of it.

Here is a cast iron desk bell and a pair of (mop) opera glasses made by Andrew J. Lloyd & Co.
An 1800's Nassau Selter stoneware bottle. Needs cleaning, the black stuff scrapes off pretty easy with my fingernail so it should clean up well. More info on that jug here (or one like it anyway)- Mid 1800's or 1890's Nassau Selter jug
Also got this wood carved Marionette from Thailand. These have been made for hundreds of years. This one is a mid century example. It is loaded with a thick coat of dust so a good cleaning will be in order.
For you Giants fans (boo!) I found this Bill Parcels signed football. The signature is pretty worn and I don't usually buy sports signed items but for the money ($5) I took it. Figured it's worth that much as a football alone.
Also scored this antique Alvin Silver .999 fine perfume decanter bottle. It is monogrammed and dated "dec. 99" for 1899.
Not pictured- The wife's home goods junk and... I also scored another Ouija board, the black and blue boxed one from the 60's, a very large wooden chef's pepper mill from Italy, a vintage pocketknife from Germany and a few old wooden yardsticks, a few vintage pillboxes, a pair of new vintage Godinger silver plated salt and peppers that look like gift boxes and a pewter Pope John Paul necklace (boxed).
This record was purchased a while back in Feb. but I never posted it. Still in cellophane but not sealed, exc. condition on the record. It's a decent score, paid $1. Swaunee Water and Cocaine Blues by Abner Jay. https://www.discogs.com/Abner-Jay-Swaunee-Water-And-Cocaine-Blues/release/3751921
