Auction of the Week Dec. 3
If I had better sewing skills, I’d buy those groovy deer curtains to make a vest for my dog. More about that in a moment.
Today’s Auction of the Week is hosted by Light in the Attic Estates (Hendersonville, NC). I stumbled across this a few days ago while researching vintage airline collectibles (Nov. 24 post, “Decoupaging D. B. Cooper”).
Simultaneously classy and quirky. That’s how I’d describe these 426 lots.
All photos are from HiBid/ Light in the Attic Estates (Hendersonville, NC). Auction begins closing Dec. 3 at 6:00 pm, and the broker premium is 15%.
Most lots are from “a lifelong collector with an eye for the unique” per the auctioneer.
Lot #2 Uranium green glass plates (2)
Vintage uranium kitchenware is a thing, trust me. High bid on these two plates at press time was $35.
Lot #28 Bakelite art deco (by Taylor) 3-in-1 weather gauge (thermometer, barometer and humidity)
Bakelite is a thing, too, and I’m a fan. Such a cool device! Same as the plates, high bid at press time was $35.
Lot #64 Group of 3 vintage paper fans/ advertising
Lot #64 Closeup of one fan front
Lot #64 Closeup of one fan back
Ah, the days when one shop could sell you a piano, washing machine and/or water heater. I’m also a fan of these advertising fans. High bid for the three? $15.
Lot #359 Assorted vintage men’s clip-on ties, plus tie hangers
Are clip-on ties still a thing? Apparently so. I found many on Etsy in single or small quantities. This batch up for auction was going for $20 at press time.
Lot #335 Vintage airline playing card decks (62) and Pan Am carry-on bag
This alluring lot is how I found the classy-quirky auction. What a collection! I admire the person who collected and cared for these. The lot includes 62 decks and that oh-so hip Pan Am carry-on bag. Consider me smitten! Other folks are, too. High bid at press time was $40.
Lot #353 Deer pillow shams (2) and lined curtains (2)
Don’t laugh, but I think my dog would look uniquely hip in a vest made from these curtains. According to the auctioneer’s description, the curtains are lined (see photos on HiBid). I’m guessing the entire set was handmade – just a guess, of course. I’d love to know what the winning bidder ends up doing with these. At press time, the high bid was a mere $5.
Check out this classy-quirky auction and good luck bidding.
