I Like Old Stuff!

Finally, I found something good at a yard sale here in Town -  I've been wanting a blender for a while and was actually going to price them at the store when I found this - $5 for a blender in perfect condition!  Great deal!  I'm thinking it might be from the 80's, just because of the wood grain.

We went to visit Carla yesterday, this is what I picked up from that trip-a Perkins Pancake House side plate, probably from the 60's - it set me back 25 cents.



Can you imagine buying mustard in this little jar now?  There's a bunch of colored  toothpicks inside, I'll just leave them there.  The little jar is only 3 1/2 inches high


I paid $4 for this chopper/measuring cup.  I think it is made by Dominion Glass as it has a "D" in a diamond on the bottom  



I bought a couple of old catalogues at this shop before,  they were only $3 each, I've seen them at other shops and they're a lot more!  It's a great deal for these old Sears and Eaton's catalogues from the 60's and 70's...



50 cents for a Vera


I'm wondering if anybody has seen a jam pot like this?  My great aunt gave it to me when I was a little girl - I've always loved it and just brought it out for display once again.  There are no markings on it as to where it might have been made...

  1. I love that mustard jar. Since it's so small, I'd have to buy a dozen of them to keep up with my family. Great finds!

  2. My grandparents always bought mustard in very small jars. I think they liked to replenish it with fresh mustard sooner rather than later. Love the Vera scarf! I haven't found any recently.

  5. Cool finds Jill! I think my favorites are the little mustard jar and the chopper. I had a similar chopper that I gave to Ryan a while back. You seem to always find a Vera scarf and yesterday was no exception, lol! I've never seen a jam pot like that but it sure is cute!

  7. Hello Friend-
    Great finds. I like that chopper, and the blender looks cool against the kitchen backsplash! You always find Vera in that cool pointy shape...I always find square ones. Odd!
