Coca Cola memorabilia is a huge collectible area. The brand is a true piece of Americana. It holds a place in our culture much larger than being just a beverage. Here’s a more recent commercial… [nms:coca cola,7,1,50] Guy Peellaert, The Michelangelo of Pop Art « Coca-Cola Art Gallery – … Coca-Cola Art Gallery · Coca-Cola [...]
Among the many items I have to list are about 2000 vintage and antique postcards. These could take a while, but I figure I’ve got to get started. I’m listing them below what I’ve seen them going for on specialty postcard sites because frankly, I’m not an expert on them. This is a very old [...]
Second Hand Sale presents… Vintage Sewing Notions and Buttons I moved a box today and found a ton of vintage sewing notions and buttons. It was actually a mixed lot made up of items from at least a few different estate sale purchases. I started wondering why the heck they are called “notions”? I checked [...]
Second Hand Sale presents… These Cutwell Automotive Engine Burs are a fine example of what I’m surrounded by right now. I’ve got so much stuff that has accumulated through buying lots of estate merchandise that I can barely keep track of it. Someone could probably really use these (even though some are missing). I, on [...]
Second Hand Sale Online presents… This is a program distributed to professional teachers who attended the 1929 Fayette County Teachers’ Institute. This is definitely a niche item, so we’ll have to see if anyone out there is collecting old materials related to teachers and/or education. This might also interest people who collect prgrams from various [...]
I occasionally come across World War II Aviation Memorabilia and books. One of my best finds to date was an original P-51 Mustang flight manual that was in great shape. I don’t know if the original owner was a collector or a pilot, but it was fascinating to read it. It felt like holding a [...]
Car Sales Second hand car sales are a wonderful way to save some money. That new car smell just isn’t worth the thousands of dollars it costs to enjoy for fifteen seconds before you drive your new vehicle off of the lot and watch it depreciate in value instantly. I’ve had two friends ask me [...]
I’d like to use my Second Hand Sale site as a place to give more thorough descriptions and background information about what I have managed to collect over time. I also think it is important for buyers to get a feel for who they are dealing with when they buy online. Of course, I invite [...]
Second Hand Sale presents… 1926 McKeesport High School Yearbook This is a very nice old find that I came across at an estate sale. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I run across old yearbooks on a fairly regular basis. This example however is in exceptional shape for such an old book. It also [...]
Second Hand Sale presents… A very nice 1945 Vintage McKeesport High School Yearbook. One of the things I enjoy finding at estate sales is old yearbooks. Looking at them is like looking back at life during another generation’s glory days. All of the young faces filled with dreams of the future! I generally could have [...]
My Second Hand Sale Presents… Vintage Gibson Guitars! Ok, I’ll admit that I haven’t run across ANY of these at yard sales or estate sales yet. But I used to play around on guitar a bit and if I do find one, I’ll be keeping it for myself most likely! The best deal I ever [...]
Hi. If you haven’t read the “About My Second Hand Sale” page at the top, please do. I’ve always enjoyed going to garage sales, estate sales and auctions. I’ve found a lot of great stuff. Over the last couple of years however, I’ve enjoyed it a bit too much as I sold part time on [...]
