Look What I Found At The Bottom of a Old Hat Box At A Garage Sale

I love garage sales and it is all about the hunt.



 Piled on tables are a lot of treasures some cool and some just old chipped stuff from grandma's cupboards.

While wandering the tables I found a large old plastic hat box. Dirty , falling apart and zipper broken.

But inside were several wearable vintage women's hats from the 1930s to 1950s.

All listed on eBay in our store.  Sold one or two and it was time for us to travel south for the winter.

Hats take very little space in the van so on the road they went.




Well today another is sold and packed and on its way to Las Vegas

where it happens we are right now for the next few months.

We have a few more hats for sale and hopefully we will mail out a few more before returning north.

Vintage Orphan Photo # 67 Cars Dapper Dressed Man and Boy and Coffee Shop Sign


Here is a great old photo I picked up at an estate sale some time ago. I am guessing it is from the 1930's. Pictured is one car with what looks like two women sitting in the front seat. Standing out side in their best clothes is a young man and young boy. Both are wearing hats. Parked next is another car showing only part of it.

In the back ground is a building with a sign over the door. With a magnifying glass I can read that it says coffee shop.

There is no name or notation of where this was taken. Back has marks showing that it came out of a photo album


I love old photos and hope that you enjoy this one.

Please take a moment and look at some of my other old photos.. Grace

Orphan Photo # 64 Vintage CDV from Sweden Handsome young man wearing cool hat



Today I am sharing another of my orphan photos. This is a vintage CDV from Sweden Handsome young man in the neatest cap. He is dressed in his best suit and bow tie.
Photo is marked on the front A Wiberg, Linkoping as the photographer.

I am guessing he is in his twenties and this was taken early 1900's. Sadly there is no name on this photo to tell us who he was.

Thanks for stopping by... Grace

Orphan Photo # 49 Vintage Photo Poses Early 1900's Cute Man in Hat


I love these old photos where there is 4 different poses in a row. This one is of a handsome gentleman dressed in his best suit. His shirt has a wide collar and he is wearing a colorful tie. Second photo he is wearing a hat. What do we know about him? Not much really. Probably in early 20's , probably is a business man or works in an office from the clothing.

Sadly we have no name written on the photo or even know where it is taken. Looking at the chair in the back ground I am guessing this photo is from the early 1900's.
I remember these from the 1950's. You would go into this photo booth. Put in your money and get four different poses.
Some where I have an old photo of my sister and me taken in the 1950's. We are wearing coats and scarfs on our head. Look like 2 poor little urchins.

One of the photos in my banner is of a darling little girl in several poses. I have several photos of her that I bought at an estates. So sad when people part with their family photos.
Hope that you have enjoyed seeing this wonderful vintage photo. Please stop by again . Grace
