Weekend Yard Sale Find

Tweet

I had to pick up some auction wins on Saturday from an online auction that I sat through on both Monday and Thursday nights last week. I won 3 pieces of Fenton glassware in Milkglass in the hobnail design. I also got a crystal serving plate. The owner of the business where I won the auction also has a store where they have misc. things, a bait shop and an antique store. His son just happened to be having a yard sale on Friday and Saturday. I planned to take a look around, not expecting anything good to be left. It was almost 2 pm when we got there. I walked around to the yard sale first before going inside to get my auction stuff. My hubby poked around for a few minutes and quickly called it all junk. He left and went inside. I piddled around and took my time. I found a box of old baby dolls with some composites in there. Upon looking closer I spied the doll in the photo, which is an original 1934 Shirley Temple doll made by Ideal. A couple of the dolls had price tags on them from the original owner and several were over $100. I knew Shirley Temple would be much more than that. I took the whole box to the table and asked how much the dolls were? He asked me how many I wanted and I asked him what could he do on a "box deal." He said, "$20!" I said, "SOLD" really fast! When I got home Saturday night I inspected her and found the markings on her neck and signature on her back that proved she is the real deal! I'm still excited over this find and giggle about a young man not knowing what he had! Have you found any good deals lately? If so, what was it?
