Great Finds This Week
July 29, 2012
It wasn't my best week thrifting but it wasn't the worst.
I have been looking for a vintage kitchen scale for quite some time, and I either thought the scales I encountered were too expensive or too distressed and shabby, or both.
I found this Hanson 2060 model, 60 pound vintage utility scale in black at a consignment shop for $8 this week.
It's a little bigger than most kitchen scales, but it is vintage and in great shape. I love the face.
Also this week, an Academy, heavy weight, silver over copper, rectangular silverplate tray. I haven't polished it yet but even if a some silver is gone, it's a great tray. It was $3.
Also a McCoy flat, white bowl marked Mccoy 7515 USA. I paid $4 for it. It may have been part of a McCoy pitcher and bowl set.
I normally do not pick up souvenir plates, but this Empire State Building plate in blue and white at $1 was too tempting to pass up.
What do you think?

You did good. I love the scales, what a great find and the silver tray is fabulous. I think the souvenir and ironstone plates are super too. I say a great week for sure. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteOoooo! I love vintage, what awesome finds. Don't you just love when you get lucky with great pieces? Good job :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the NY plate, but then, I am a teeny bit partial. ;-) Great finds all around. xo
ReplyDeleteCarlene I love tray! It's a great shape and looks very sturdy. I don't usually pick up souvenir plates either but that one is wonderful! I would have snatched that up in a minute!! Good finds this week! Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteWhat a find with that scale at 8 bucks, that's such a great bargain, love your other finds too, especially that McCoy bowl! thanks so much for being there! xo

Great finds! I love thrifting!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds. I would have picked up that New York plate too!
ReplyDeleteI love the Empire State Building plate.
ReplyDeleteThat scale looks brand new. I love the history on the back of the plate. You got some beauties for great prices.
ReplyDeleteThe scale for $8 was a great buy and I love it! McCoy for $4? That was a steal.
ReplyDeleteYour scale is in near perfect condition and only $8.00! Wow, great deal!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I bet you have something in mind for each one of them. . .
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finding a scale. I've been looking for a year and finally found one this weekend too - at the flea market. Yours is nicer though.
ReplyDeleteI think you had a very successful shopping adventure, Carlene. The scales look great and the tray is well used but both will be nice in a kitchen vignette. I'm sure you will find cute ways to display them. ------------ Shannon
ReplyDeleteCarlene what a great find!! I found a scale awhile back but paid quite a bit more than you!;)
ReplyDeleteOh My Gosh! I want to shop where you shop. You asked about the chair cover in my "girl cave". I should have told about it in my post, but I didn't think about it. I was shopping in a furniture store that was going out of business. I saw that chair cover in a cardboard box on the floor. It didn't have a price. When I asked about it, the clerk said I could buy it for $5. I was shopping out of town, so I had no idea whether or not it would fit, but for $5, I decided to get it. It's not a perfect fit, but it works ok. laurie
ReplyDeleteThe scale is simply wonderful--and in such great condition. The Empire State Building plate is really fun.
ReplyDeleteWow! you did great finding that scale for only $8.00! Love it! You got some great stuff. Finding stuff at good prices is the best!
