This Weekend's Estate Sale Finds CAUTION PIC HEAVY

Be prepared there is a lot of pictures

Warranted Superior Saw from the early 1900's I paid $1 for it and sold it on Ebay for $40

Disston Saw I don't know much about this one yet.

This has to be my favorate book yet its from 1874 and its in perfect codition its called Miscellanies and its all about how the human brain operates. Paid 2$

Navy Training manual from 1944 don't know much about it yet. Paid 75 cents

Another navy manual paid 75 cents

Navy fireman training manual paid 75 cents. Seems to sell for a lot of money on ebay?

Disston brand saw from 1850 paid $1 its worth $100 I think i am gonna keep this one.

A N64 paid $5 for 12 games, 2 controllers and the system. Worth about $230 on ebay.

A old language book from 1876

This is where things start to get interesting.

The Huguenot Family
This book was awarded to someone from the British school of hopwood and haywood for good conduct. It also has a really cool dry cleaning receipt inside the book from the era. Aswell as a 1894 Hoyts German Cologne Advertisement in the back. There is no date on it but i would say its from the 1890s's Paid 1$

Dog Crusoe
This book has not date but I would assume it is from the same period as the others. It has a hand written marraige licence from 1850 in it along with a picture of a women and about 20 dried up leaves. Also it has what seems to be a receipt for 3.5 yards of fabric. Paid $1

Tried reading the marriage licence but I can't understand the hand writing.

Lothair Baconsfield paid $1

A book on gardening from 1854 this one is really cool paid $1

This one is the oldest and the most destroyed I paid $1 for it as well It's called world to come. I like the rustic look of it though 1846

This one is called Gems of Beauty paid $1 It is from 1851 the cover is coming off at the binding though.

This one isn't much but its still cool its an old calorie counter from 1931 its missing the dial.

More in next post.

Your value on the N64 stuff is way off. It will sell but not for anywhere near what you think.
The saws are cool but I have had several and again, they will sell but not for very much. Antique saw collectors want them in near mint condition.
The logo on the blade seems to be what determines their value more so than the handle. I did not look it up to confirm but I think your saws may be much later than you think.
Nice find nonetheless!

Wow...those pics are huge...

The saw marked "Warranted Superior" is actually a Disston saw. Disston made the WS saws for different markets, and sold those WS saws for a lower price than the saws with the Disston brand name.

The marriage certificate is cool. If I owned it, I would try to do a little research on the Mormon/Latter Day Saints genealogy site. I'd probably list it as an auction with a high starting point. Someone will want that paper. Make sure you list the family's last names in the ebay listing, and list it under the correct genealogy category.

The pruners, IMO, are worth about $2, which is exactly what I would try to sell them for at the flea market, but they would sit for eons at that price.

Nice picks overall.

Yea i read something the other day that said disston made 50% of the Warranted Superior Brand saws.
I was thinking about selling the marriage licence I just dont know what the value of a marriage licence that is handwritten.
Also I just bought the pruners because I thought they where cool was gonna sell them if they where worth anything if not I was gonna keep them.



Sorry about the image size i took them with my SLR and I thought the website cropped them. They appear small on my end.

Also found these for $1 I know they are plug taps but i cant find many this old. They seem to sell for a lot on ebay. Also 3 of them are unused.

As for the marriage certificate, I'd be inclined to do a $99 auction, and see what happens.

Anyone working genealogy for the families mentioned in that certificate would want it. If you'll do the research, I think it will help your auction.

Of course, your listing title needs to include the family names, date, etc. My listing would read "Original 1850 Marriage Certificate Smith and Jones Family History, Podunkville, VA Genealogy", or sumpin' like that.

I would also list it in the genealogy category.

FWIW, I've seen these MC sell for hundreds of dollars, and watched one sell for over $800.

If you were listing my grandparent's original MC, I'd pay $200 in a New York minute.

I will definitely have to look up more info about it when I have free time. Maybe over this weekend.
