Auction Treasures

I finally got a chance to unbox some more of the treasures that we bought at the auction a few weeks ago.    I fell in love with this brass coffee/tea set .  It is #92 on my receipt (at the bottom of the post)  $20...what a steal!   (The tray was in a separate box of brass for $17.50)

I did a post earlier on the other items shown in this picture....$12.50 for the stag (#65).....$25.00 for the rose tea set  (#297) and $10.00 for the scales (#117)  Anyway...back to the kitchen island to see what was in some of the other boxes!


Here is a photo of all the brass ...  There were 5 trays...that large one on the stand is 22" x 17"....6 lidded boxes, and other assorted pieces.

This is #61...beautiful brass dish...  This dish is quite large 21" x 12"...

It was only $10.00.

There was an assortment of brass in #85 box for $17.50.....but the reason I bid on that box was because I wanted the large tray that the coffee/tea set is sitting on! 

Box 85....    I have all the brass displayed on a piece of vintage fabric that came out of one of the boxes...don't remember which one!

box 85....


and more box 85!

The salt and pepper shakers are #314 for $10.00....there were some other things in that box.   (we donated a bunch of stuff)

Carafe...#295....$7.50

Kleenex box...#188...$5.00.    It is a vintage plastic box with hand painted roses on it....I have it on my night table.
I am not going to polish the brass...I like it with all its aged character!   
Can you see my reflection in this photo....I have on pink PJ's...does that surprise anyone!

Box #5 and #41 were full of pots and pans that were sold in our recent garage sale.    I bought the table (#19) for my daughter to use on her patio.  I will show you the ice skates (#292) at Christmas....and you'll see the wall planter (#325) when I figure out where to hang it!  My grand daughter needed a food processor (#305)

Til next time....

  2. Penny, what great buys and fantastic treasures!! I would love to have very piece!! I am off now for 2 nights so i will finally have a new post or two up soon. Computer is fixed and running well thanks to my son!! I almost had a stroke when the computer was working right. Isn't it funny how attached we get to these things?? LOL!! Our 90 degree heat wave has broke a bit and the humidity went down. The humidity with the heat is a killer here in the northeast. You can cut the air with a knife sometimes....

    Hugs,
    Deb
