gotta make a list of stuff to look for next time i go to antique stores. if i had one of those blacklight flashlights i'd put uranium dishware on it but alas, i don't and can't test any.

anything anyone wants me to try to get pictures of?

#last time i saw ventriloquist's dummies #an old ice cream maker #mini metal novelty pencil sharpener's in the shape of a stagecoach spinning wheel and other cool stuff #medieval spanish coins (would've gotten some for my brother-in-law but my sister called and said he already has some)#carebear toys and holiday barbie ornaments #a set of opera glasses and compacts one of which had a compartment for a comb and a lipstick holder #LOTS of fur coats and capes this time #as mentioned i got a persian lambskin coat w silver mink collar #which i got for under $45 #a whole display of the like. novelty glasses for like flintstones or batman or coca-cola that had high lead levels lol #and something i am very much regretting not getting: mini cast iron woodstove models which were labeled as toys #one was labelled ''sold as is'' and was missing a few lids and the other (in a display case) was complete w mini copper pans #my mom said they used to be brought around by traveling salesmen as models #also i saw pins that pre-dated the lowering of the voting age to 18 (''if i were 21 i'd vote for...'') and a giant christmas frog #and hatpins and postcards from mexico and poland #also an elvis doll and a motorcycle phone
