Remember These Vintage Drivers at Talladega Speedway?

I have been around racing as long as I can remember and love collecting vintage racing items. I have quite a collection but have been listing some items and today I have listed a 1969 Talladega Speedway Program Book. This is the first annual program book from Talladega and is filled with photos, articles and vintage advertising. There are also a few advertising flyers with this and a sticker from the track.

This lot is up for auction this week at the Book Corner Cafe on eBay. The program does have some water damage but all the pages are tight and there is no writing. I loved looking through this and remembering racing as it was years ago. Anyone who have been around racing knows how different racing in 1969 is from racing in 2013.

You can see all the photos for the program on eBay and also check out my other vintage racing items I have listed for sale.  We have everything with free shipping and also Best Offer and are happy to take offers on our items so stop by today.

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 Enjoy Sewing And Using Vintage Patterns?

Do you enjoy sewing and making clothes? I found these Vintage Patterns from Kandel that are for sizes 8 to 20 for Knits. I used to do a lot of sewing and at one time made a lot of my own clothes and loved these patterns. They are brand new and are uncut which is always nice since you be sure this is complete.

There are two patterns in this lot and they make both the jacket and the pants so there is a lot of different outfits you can make with just these two patterns. 

You can see the pants have the bell bottom flared bottoms and that was the style when these patterns were new. 

We also have craft kits in our eBay store you can check out if you love doing crafts as well.

Does Your Vintage Christmas Tree Need Lights?

My favorite holiday is Christmas and my favorite thing to do is decorate. I enjoy doing the whole house and put up 2 artificial trees and a real one every year. I have been sorting through some of my vintage Christmas items and I am listing them for sale. I have enough to decorate at least 10 trees so I know it is time for some of the items to find a new home.

Here is a set of vintage Christmas Lights that are in working condition and in the original box. The box of course has seen better days but it is the original box and I kept them in this box for many years. Actually I love these older large bulbs so much more then today's tiny lights. One reason being it is so easy to replace a bulb on these where it is often easier to toss the other ones out and buy new.

So if you are looking for a nice working set of Vintage Christmas Lights they are up for auction this week. You can see the listing and also additional  pictures including one that shows the lights lit up. You can also find other vintage Christmas items for sale in my eBay Store Book Corner Cafe n More.

Do You Have A Vintage Race Fan On Your Christmas List?

I have been a race fan for as long as I can remember and grew up going to the race track every week.  Over the years racing has evolved like every thing else and these vintage program books bring back a simpler time in racing. This program book for Atlanta Raceway is from the first race held there in 1961.

This is really a piece of racing history filled with vintage photos, articles and even advertising. Many people that followed racing will remember the names of Parsons, Allison, Petty and many more that are pictured in this book.

If you would like to surprise a race fan on your Christmas list this year this would make a great gift. You can find the program book on eBay along with many other vintage racing items.

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.
