Collectable crap - twisteroo - 05-11-2010
I picked these up today for $1.27 with tax. A little creamer and I suppose the other one is sugar, it has the spoony slot thing in the back.
I'm sure they are not worth much more than what I paid for them, but meh....

Oh they are adorable!
I have a collection of kitschy salt shakers that was started with some of my gran's.
LH is into this collecting stuff - if there are marks on the bottom, get a good pic of them - he may be able to tell you. He looked up a find of mine and it turns out it's worth quite a bit of money.
Lemme dig up some pics of the stuff - I think I have half the collection of salt shakers in the gallery already.

Cool.
The only thing I collect is fridge magnets from my travels. I just don't like to dust around stuff. Lazy ass at heart.

It's a pretty easy one, they are Avon.
Actually, there are probably something like 6 or 7 hundred cat figures around here, I mean we gots a hell of a collection.
RE: Collectable crap - Jamminitin - 05-11-2010
WOW!!! Are they scattered about or centralized in a particular area? If they are together, snap a photo-please?

OK here is part of my salt and pepper shakers. My faves are the monks:

And these are my thrift shop finds:

The soup tureen and platter were the things that are worth like $150 If I remember right. They've got these markings on the bottom:

But my prized collection is my hockey stuff. I've a signed stick by the whole 1974 & 1975 Philadelphia Flyers

The thrift shops rock. I'll buy stuff there and then go into the antique mall places and see the same stuff there for big money.
Is that a gravy boat cat?
RE: Collectable crap - Jamminitin - 05-11-2010
Looks like a soup tureen. Thanks for sharing.
RE: Collectable crap - Twitchin Kitten - 05-11-2010
Yes it is! It has a tiny ceramic ladle with it too. Sadly the glazing is all cracked on the inside and there are some chips so I can't use it. It's a good decoration though. The blue cat is wood. But the soup tureen and platter are in pristine condition. I got all of them for $10!
I also have a gorgeous silver Moroccan teapot that i got for like $5!
