Do you Remember Mrs. Beasley?

Growing up Mrs Beasley was my sister's best friend and constant companion. I can remember her going everywhere including sitting at the dinner table each night next to my sister. Funny isn't it how just looking at that doll can quickly brings back those childhood memories.



This Mrs. Beasley is actually the 2000 version that that was made for Children Help USA with the voice of Cheryl Ladd. This doll is new in the box and she has never been taken out of the box. She talks with 11 different phrases and looks just like the original Mrs. Beasley.

Mrs. Beasley is listed on eBay and you can check her out in fact she is on sale today. There are other pictures in the listing including the box which is in good condition with some marks from storage.

Are you a race fan that enjoys learning about the history of the sport? Or are you a race fan that remembers those vintage days of racing and how it used to be? One thing is for sure these racing programs are filled with both the history of racing and photos and articles that will bring back memories.

Original Vietnam War Picture Lot A Piece of History

I love seeing old vintage photos from any time and I found this lot from Vietnam from around 1972. I look at these photos and realize they are a part of our history and wonder about the person that took these? Was he a young many drafted like many  into that war or someone who went willingly? What were his thoughts as he took these pictures? Just so many questions when you look at these pictures. 


I have the lot listed on eBay and am hoping they find a good home. There are 44 photos in this lot and there are pictures of ships, helicopters, people, cities and beautiful scenery. This is truly a step into the past when going through these photos. You can see the rest of the photos including close up ones on the listing.

Before Door Bells were Door Knockers

It is often hard to believe what people used years ago before our modern day Door Bells. This Vintage Brass Door Knocker is one example and is actually a simple design but many were very ornate and unique. Brass was a common material and most people had wooden doors.  We have a Pinterest board for vintage hardware and Door Knockers you can check out to see some examples.


This Door Knocker measures 8" x 3" in size and also has the screws in the back to attach it to your door. We have this listed at auction this week on eBay and you can all additional pictures if you check out the listing. 

We also have a few other auctions listed so stop by today and check them out.
