I sold $300 of vintage glass this morning

pretty glass. nice collection. too bad that in today's market. it didn't hold it's store of value.

great that you were both satisfied with the transaction...
 
@debodun you did well. A few years back you could have gotten more but you were very lucky to even find a buyer in todays world.
I'm very happy for you.
last year when I purged I felt like a weight had been lifted. Just less things to move around and think about.
Keep the photos. It's nice to look back on them once in awhile better than having them sit around. You don't have to dust photos. lol
 
I have one of those old M Salzman Purity Above All whiskey jugs in my kitchen.

The following account is from a great-grandson of Morris Salzman: "Morris came to this country from Austria in the late 1800s. He was 16 years old, could speak no English, and came alone. He settled in NYC's Lower East Side. By the 1910s he had amassed a small fortune in the liquor business. I have seen a newspaper article saying he stood in the back of a crowded Brooklyn, NY theater where people were buying War Bonds (WW1). People were buying small lots....10's and hundreds of $. He stood and purchased $1,000,000 in US Government War bonds...the crowd gasped in astonishment. That sum was unheard of in that day. He eventually exited the whiskey business due to Prohibition and went into banking, perhaps with his brother Harry.

How interesting! Is there any whiskey left in the bottle?;)
 
Glad you got more than 5 bucks. :LOL: My sister is into having all that crystal. That kind of stuff never fazed me. I've been seeing that certain Corningware vintage baking dishes with a particular design are worth a lot of money. Do you have one of those?
 
Good for you Deb. It must feel good to get rid of things. As someone said before I loved the blue things too. But I have more than enough of my own but its hard not to collect more. Trying to limit myself to the Blue Polish Pottery now.
