Change

People say that change is for the better. I disagree. I found this photo at an estate sale the other day. What a great shop.
I had to go and see if it was still there. Well it is but it has changed. What a pit!!!! Sad

Drinking to forget and other random stuff

I show alot of things that I find on this blog. This time it's different. This is a picture of something that I missed. Another dealer got to it first and it is currently for sale in a local antique mall.

This is a great hand drawn illustration. If you are drinking to forget....Please PAY WHEN SERVED!!!

I spotted this along the road last week. I WANT IT!

I see beauty in the strangest places.

I also like things that you only have to buy once!

Iron Gates For Sale

These are really a nice set of iron gates. They are definitely pre war and probably date to the 1920's. All hand wrought and heavy as f*#@. They measure about 56 1/2" tall and about 34" wide.

Some of you may not understand my attraction to things like this. Let me explain it like this. These gates were made entirely by a black smiths hands at a time when men actually worked for a living. That man had hands like catchers mitts and calluses as thick as pink pet erasers. He created functional works of art that will outlast us all and I like that.

California Girl

I went down to San Diego's Big 3 swap meet last Friday and what did I find? This...


I have a habit of doing things wrong. Most were buying vintage speed equipment and other things rare and valuable. Hell, I had a friend that was pushing a cart with vintage tool boxes stacked to GOD. While these people were buying the things that I should have been, I set my sights on this pretty lady. I don't know, she just spoke to me. She wanted me to save her. I like her. She reminds me of a 1940's Catalina Swimwear ad.

Does Anyone Recognize

this little pinback button? I've had it for a few years in my desk drawer. It's always seemed familiar but I have never been able to figure out what the logo is. Does anybody have an idea????

Rings For Sale

I've got these two great rings for sale. Email me through my profile page if interested.

The first is this great Mexican nickle silver skull ring. This thing is COOL. Red jeweled eyes and the number 13 across his forehead. This dates from the late 1940's or early 1950's. The ring is about a size 8-8 1/2.


Secondly, I have this great sterling silver Indian head ring. This is a cast piece that dates to the 1950's. It's about a size 10.
