Spatula

Paid: 25 cents
Insurance value: 15 dollars

This is a Mepa Melamine Rosti Design spatula made in Denmark. It seems this company is still in business. It also seems this company makes some fine wares. Please take a look at this children's dinner ware set. This is a nice set of kitchenware, no?

Celeste gets full credit for finding this piece amongst a pile-o'-crap; I'm jealous.




Child's Desk

Paid: 10 dollars:
Insurance value: 40 dollars/ 100 after we refinish it



Hem Gauge

Paid: 4 dollars
Insurance value: 5 dollars

This thing is used to gauge hems some how. That bulb at the top is squeezed and shoots air into the glass vial which shoots out a bit of that powdered chalk. It's got a flat nozzle so you get a line.

Black on Black, Wedgwood Ashtray

Paid: 5 dollars (they also threw in a free stuffed dog for Amelia)
Insurance Value: 45 Dollars!

Folks, this is our second piece of Wedgwood her on the Bringin' it all back home estate sale blog. We're just so darn proud we can write that. Our second piece of Wedgwood.


They have ones with white filligree but we are keen on the black.

Green Marbled Bakelite[?] Vanity Mirror Tray

Paid: 5 dollars
Insurance Value: Unsure, still pricing. But we're low-balling it at 40 dollars. I'm 99.975% certain it's Bakelite. If that holds true, I wouldn't be surprised if that broke 100 dollars. But I don't know much about any thing.
Nice detail in the mirror.


Sweet inlay.







We're big fans of the plant that mirrors the detail in the mirror.
