Don't Throw That Vintage Hardware Away

Are you an auction person who loves to buy box lots? We are and bring boxes full of items home from each auction we attend. Then of course the fun begins of finding out what you bought in those boxes. We have always felt it is like Christmas morning opening those boxes because you never know what treasure you find hidden in a box. One of our favorite finds is vintage hardware and there is so much you can do with these pieces.

People buy vintage hardware for a piece of furniture and to use for the purpose they are intended. There are also many other ways to use vintage hardware and you can check out our Pinterest board that is filled with ideas. I am truly amazed at some of the ways people re-purpose vintage hardware.

This week we have many items on sale including some of our vintage hardware items. We do have quite a few items to list as we have sold many of these over the past few months. Stop by today and check out all our sale items at the Book Corner Cafe n More Store.

Do You Collect Vintage Hardware?

My husband loves auctions and has collected items for many years. One day I was looking through some boxes for stuff to sell and found a box of vintage hardware. I mean the old original hardware on doors and cabinets that had been around for many years. I started doing some research and was fascinated by what I found. 

First I loved the look of the vintage pieces and never thought about it growing up. To me they were just drawer pulls or door knobs but today they are so much more. There is a lot of craftsmanship that went in to these pieces and many of them are brass. Over the years they have aged and took on a beautiful look. 

I started a collection on eBay for vintage hardware and also a Pinterest board of some of my favorites if you would like to follow them. 

I have listed some for sale and you can find them in eBay in my Vintage Hardware category.
