Sir Thrift-A-Lot
in FLEA MARKET FINDS

Thrifting has been to a minimum lately, once or twice a week, but finds for me have been satisfactory & the thrifting adventures alone have been priceless & lots of fun!
These Vanguard/Vangaurd drinking cups, labelled 1976 by Maplex, Toronto kinda have me stumped. Funny, they would misspell their own name? One of the reds & both of the mustard yellows are spelled Vangaurd, one of the reds & the blues are spelled correctly. Any insight? This was another find from Windsor!
This Canadian made Delphite bowl by Pyrex I found in a Value Village on the way to Windsor.
I'm loving these boxes - perfect for vintage wrapping paper - $2.99 each at Value Village, not bad at all!
I've seen this thirst extinguisher before, a kinda vintage novelty fire extinguisher musical decanter. It was raggedy, this one much better condition & much cheaper!
This 470-C Snowflake Pyrex Casserole, Bake, Serve & Store as you can see is in need of some tender loving care. Surprisingly, this isn't a pattern you see too often in Toronto & I picked this one up at Goodwill, a bit more than I wanted to pay, but plan on cleaning it up soon.
I might be doing a quick Suburban Strip Thrifting Trip this week before a visit to the future mother in laws.. we'll see!
Great finds. I found my first piece of Delphite this week(thanks to your blog I immediately knew what it was). A fridge minus the lid. Can you believe I don't collect Pyrex? I do now
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheapchick & glad I could help! Great find on the Delphite, quite a rarity.
ReplyDeleteLovin' the Vanguard cups! So colourful! Perhaps the misspelled ones will turn out to be priceless! Woot!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDelete& that would be awesome, lol.
Love the Delphite bowl...it's pretty rare here. So funny about the misspelled cups! You just never know, do you?
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather!
ReplyDeleteI love that decanter. What music does it play?
