Cool Finds - Thrift Stores and Flea Market

[RondaS]

Hi All! This is my first post, I hope I do it right! I found some very interesting finds this month! I hope you enjoy!



1st pic: Signed Edna Lewis Oil Paintings
2nd pic: J. Gould bird print - Wood Victorian Frame
3rd pic: Wilton Pewter serving plate - HEAVY
4th pic: Old school books from 1800's and 1900's
5th pic: Pretty little-framed prints. The frame is heavy...I am thinking brass?. The 6th pic is the back of the frame. The only mark I could find is the word "ITALY." I could find anything on these prints.
7th and 8th - Folk Art from Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, Front and Back

Welcome to the forum. Do you resell or buy for yourself? We do have a garage sale and Thrift store forum here as well as one for eBay users. You may want to post your finds in one of those forums next time. The mods may move even this one. The small vintage Italy frames are brass usually, though sometimes they are white metal with a brass finish. The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller piece is interesting.Is it a print or an actual piece of art?

Nice... boy you dig at high end cellar holes.

Gaspipe...Not really! I have been very luckyI guess. I like going to the local Mission Thrift Store in Clarksburg West Vriginia and a Flea Market they have in a small town called Shinnston, WV. The Flea Market is set up at a old Drive-In movie theater! Thanks!

Digummup, Thank You! I usually buy things I like and I can decorate my apt with. I live in an old 1910 renovated hotel that was turned into loft apartments...It is GREAT. But if someone offered me the right price, I would sell!

The Rockefeller piece ....it is a print. It looks sorta"decoupaged" onto the wood.

If your thrift store/flea mkts are like the ones here, you have to get out before they open the doors to beat the ones that do it for income. I like the books best

Thanks! the books are so cool! I don't know how I have been so lucky lately, I'm not a early riser on the weekends and I usually do not have time during the week. I guess the picking God's have been with me and it doesn't hurts that I know a little about what to look for.

Nice set of finds. The 5th pic of framed prints, unfortunately, aren't as old as they look. They were sold by Princess House company in the 70's. Had the same prints in larger sizes on my walls for years.
