Cameras and Glass!

Today I went to Savers, it's kind of like a Salvation Army only cheaper. When I walked in I spotted this vase and had to own it. It cost me 99 cents! When I came home and did some research, it is from the 50's! I'm very excited about this... here is a picture

Also I would like to share my cameras I also purchased at Savers about a year and a half ago. I bought each for 87 cents. I just wish I new how to fix them or work them...

The first is a Polaroid Super Shooter Plus

Finally, this little camera is a Kodak Instamatic 104

Re: Cameras and Glass!

That&#39;s very cool, Jenn.  You&#39;re fortunate, our secondhand stores here have stopped stocking most neat objects - I have to believe it&#39;s because there are far too many antique malls for the tourists, so those objects get bought up and priced up almost instantly.  I suppose if I constantly haunted Goodwill and the like, I could occasionally luck out, but mostly I&#39;m disappointed.  I confine my browsing to eBay these days, but I&#39;m trying not to spend money on "more useless junk that we have no place to store" as my wife put it recently.  She has a point, I suppose.  I may have to hold off on purchasing my tractor grille, then.

My recent good deals are a rotary dial phone and a set of &#39;58 Edsel valvecovers&#33;
