My mom, brother's girlfriend, and I spent the day going to a few antique stores around town. We had a blast and also found some really neat treasures!
One of my favorite things I bought was a 1960's 8mm movie camera. It came with a case, the manual, and an undeveloped roll of film with the tin. It's in pretty decent shape, but definitely has some use wear on it. I hope to clean it up and find a nice place to display it. Looks like everything still works, but I do have to find out if I can put some batteries in it to actually see if it runs. I know I usually see old cameras selling for surprisingly cheap, but I still thought this was a steal at $10!
Excuse the crummy quality pic. I took it with my cell phone.
I also bought these ceramic footed egg vases that are also dated to around the 1960's. They have really pretty hand painted designs on them and they were very unusual. I didn't get a photo of those though, but I'll try the next day I am off. The other things I bought (though not sure if they are antiques) was a accent lamp with a peacock feather lampshade and this strange paperweight thing with different grains (wheat, barley, etc) in it. Now I'm going to have to check out these few stores more often!
