Hi everyone! Who's going yard sale hunting this weekend? Looking forward to hopefully bringing home a few antiques and some fun things to flip.

If anyone else would like some help trying to decode what they've found, I really enjoy looking into antiques and building my knowledge of them. Please @ me in your post if I can be of any help researching and digging! :)

Aww yay I’m so glad they were happy to hear about it. They found something so cool!

@Anime2lover - Yes I am sure the sight of them coming with a big saw was not impressive! Oh goodness! But maybe you can take a nice Fall walk when the brush and bugs die down and when some of that scrub clears maybe you can see things better. I know just in this family span, my husband's grandpa...

Sorry, but I love being a nerd and trying to dig up the ages and information on things like that :D

@Anime2lover - Your saw is most likely from the early 1900s, probably around 1911 judging by the medallion with their company name and the keystone shape in the middle. How cool is that! That saw is over a hundred years old likely. They have just found a treasure. Makes me wonder how many trees...

@Anime2lover Looks like they've found an old one-man crosscut saw! The button on the back says Warranted Superior, an old tool brand:

@Artichoke Lover - It is so nice to see someone who appreciates old books as well! I have a knack for anything 1940s and older primarily, and in particular 100+ years old. I'll have to do some sorting but I believe my oldest currently is 1890s? Yet, I have not actually read any of them through...

I love seeing older books, this reminded me to post some photos of another cool book I need to pull off the shelf.

Just scored FINALLY on some Corelle “Spring Blossom” (70s to 80s range) plates! I picked up some bread and butter “saucer” style little plates a few years ago in the same pattern- local hardware store had BOXES of them unopened and I managed to buy a 4 set for $2 per box. Plates are sold often...

AntiqueB I have an encyclopedia I think it was...some older book that was used to define and give examples of things at the time. Can’t recall what it was exactly but I’ll pull it off the shelf today. There are black and white photos inside, and one shows the fire department still using horse...

Posted three books above, most are put up right now. Some books are not in great shape but I love them just because they're beautiful and deserve to be treasured for another 100 years or more.

I need to add some photos from my antique and vintage book collections. Some aren't quite 100 yrs + but they're still very much treasured.

@itsasmallfarm - what type of old guns do you collect? We know a gentleman who has guns from the 1800s he enjoys hunting with

@orloffer - Yes, my book looks like that one!

I set aside some of those pieces I picked that were brand new and have them to use. I am very picky about the patterns of Corelle I like, and this set is called "Spring Blossom" Green. Often times the patterns were compatible with a set of Pyrex (different pattern name but pattern is similar) -...

I love finding hidden gems of vintage dishware, in particular Corelle brand. I had the opportunity to flip some that were brand new in the box from the 60s and 70s. My big passion is older books, particularly 1940s and older. I have a antique mall I like to visit and I often score these books...
