I Love Vintage and Collectible Items

I love vintage and collectible items and so it was natural for me to start selling these items. I collect things (too many I think) and enjoy sharing these items with others. One nice benefit of selling is being able to buy items to add to my collection.  I have found it is often easier to buy then to sell but I am working on downsizing a bit.  I have been selling on eBay since 2000 and have listed many vintage items over the years.

I also enjoy hearing from buyers about the items I am selling and the story behind them. I sell a lot of vintage racing items and have often received notes about drivers, tracks and the memories they have of these places. It is interesting to hear the memories from other people about racing. Often people buy some of these items because they attended that track or their dad raced there. This is an example of vintage racing program book we have listed on eBay.

I think most vintage and collectible sellers are also preserving a bit of our history by sharing these items and having them go to a good home and not the landfill. So stop by today and check out my other vintage items on eBay.

Do You Love Vintage Hardware?

I love the look of original Vintage Hardware such as these brass drawer pulls. The detail and craftsmanship that goes into an item like this is amazing and they last for years. It is hard to tell how old these are since they were probally used for many years. 

This is a very nice set I have listed on eBay along with some other vintage hardware items. You can see all the additonal pictures on the ebay listing including close ups.

I have a Pinterest page for Vintage Hardware and you can see many uses for all types of vintage hardware. There are some very creative ways people use vintage hardware in addition to the original use.

As always on eBay I have all my items listed with Best Reasonable Offer and also free shipping so stop by today. 

Do You Love Looking at Vintage Photographs?

I was at an auction the other day and they were selling things by the box lots there was so much stuff. In fact there were selling things by a lot of boxes instead of individual boxes to get it all done in one day. There was an amazing amount of stuff at the auction and I love box lots.

 

So as I started bidding on some and looking through them I found this lot of old photographs. There were some of the family members at the auction and so I went up and asked if they knew they were in the boxes and did they want them? The answer was no so I decided to bid on them.

I have listed them in two lots on eBay this week. You will see one lot of snapshots and the other of larger photos. I have always loved looking at these beautiful old photos and wondering who they are and what their life was like.

So if you would like to bid on either of these lots check them out on eBay they only have a few days left.

Do You Remember Vintage Film Reels?

This is one item that brings back a lot of memories including watching home movies with my family. This vintage film reel is from the TV show Bewitched from 1968 and this is how TV and movies were filmed and also shown for many years.

This film reel is also from the TV Show Bewitched and is a Network Print from 1970

The difference between these 16mm film reels and today's technology is amazing to say the least. I am from the generation that both remembers the film reels and enjoys today's technology. 

Last month I had written a post on the group blog that I write for about Vintage Film Reels. You can read that post at The DSRs of our Lives blog. .

I have 2 different Bewitched Film Reels up for auction this week. One is a Network Print from 1970 and the other a regular print from 1968 and both are in Black and White.

Do you rememeber watching a movie on these 16mm Film Reels?
