Well, Friday May 1st is Wilson Kansas 1st flea market at the Midland Hotel. So, Pasttimes Junktiques in association with The Prop Shop decided to get in on the action & is holding its 1st ever sidewalk sale! 427 27th street (same block as the big egg)
We've got lots of good sales inside the store & outside the store. Lots of small items that are priced right & good for online resale.
Jewelry, glassware, Jewelry, knick knacks, Jewelry, "Guy stuff", Jewelry, antique dolls, Jewelry, toys, Jewelry, rose china, Jewelry, old tools, Jewelry, vintage tins, Jewelry, books & JEWELRY! And it's ALL priced to sell!
Bead necklaces at .50 cents each, Rhinestone brooches (not just "pins") actual show stoppers starting at 3.00, some rhinestone "bib" necklaces, gobs of rings in the $2.00 range.
Much of our clear glass is priced at a $1.00 for each piece - you just have to bend down into the cabinets. (punch bowls a little more)
Our pink depression glass starts at $2.50 as well as our other glassware - some of which might be uranium glass (just bring your own tester to know for sure)
The selection of rose china bowls (there may even be some from Germany) are just beautiful and start at $2.50 each some are higher but nothing over the $20.00 range so you can breathe easy if you break something.
The books we have range in price from .25 for a Thriller/Mystery & from $5.00 to $10.00 for Collector books on all subjects, History books on the old West, Cookbooks & vintage childrens books (they're hard to get)
There are also lots of used tools and pocket knives. Ya know, "Guy stuff".
We've got quite a few pitcher & bowl sets that I'm willing to take $2.00 off the price.
The Victorian dolls are a bit pricey but I'm willing to trade for VINTAGE Ponytail Barbies (vintage Barbie must say JAPAN on foot - if she has that, then I'm ready to deal!)
Our dressed mannequins are $100.00 each. (Our "Twilight Zone" gal is $300.00 I know she's probably not worth that but I swear she looks just like the kind used in that show!)
We only have about 10 really "knock your socks" off antiques that don't come cheap. They include an 1800's butter working table, a stage coach hat box, an imigrants trunk, an 1800's highchair & craddle, an1890's ball-jointed bisque doll (I'm having a HARD time letting this one go). A one of a kind advertising sign actually from WILSON Kansas - Gramophones & Jewelry aparently sold by a family named Slimms (could never find out any info). Other things in this catagory include soda fountain items from the Victorian era. The building use to be the drug store/soda fountain shop so we're kind of partial to those items but everything has a price.
Please take to care to look over any knick knack or dish you buy for chips - there's so much stuff & I can't look over everything but I don't want you to feel cheated. So, examine things carefully!
I hope to see you there! Our regular days are Thurs, Friday & Saturday starting at 10 to 3ish (if I get discouraged) or 4ish (if I have business or just don't want to clean my house and read a book in peace)
I'll try to take some pics of the store - inside and out (if I can find a camera that works.)
I promise you this sale is worth getting gas in your car and is a collectors and resellers dream. Remember 427 27th street in Wilson Kansas. (I'm working on display and prices as I type) Oh, we also have vintage type writers and cute tea pots!
Finally found a camera! Still not the best pics but you get the idea
