Absolutely amazed by this recent find!

We have not one, BUT TWO, never used decorative Victorian porch arches! The tapered fan details are beautiful!
We can only guess that these were a couple of extra leftovers from a c.1880’s house kit that stashed in an attic or basement for the last 140 years!

Both arches are made of cedar. They are double sided so they look beautiful whether you are sitting on the porch or admiring from the street.

We found a little piece of old Portland history!

This cool little gimbaled ship’s compass was originally sold by the C.F. Beebe Co.
They were founded right here in Portland Oregon 140 years ago in 1884. The company originally supplied equipment for the shipping, sailing, and boating industry along the Columbia and Willamette rivers.

Compass in original wood box 5”x5”x 3 5/8”

Descendants of the original founders are still doing business in Portland today.

They have so many artistic possibilities and stories to tell.

“Old Portland” find the f the day!

I saw one of these killer two gallon Aero Eastern Motor Oil cans at a buy a couple of years ago, but the owner wasn’t ready to let go of it.

I have had my eyes out for one ever since! I love the colors, I love the graphics, and as I discovered today, they were from right here in little ol’ Portland, Oregon!! 😃

The last couple of pics are of the current address shown on the can for Aero Eastern Motor Oil.

Now usually, vintage and antique petroliana stuff is NOT in our usual lineup of finds, but… what can I say, I love this can!🤷

This is, hands down, THE coolest piece of antique terra cotta we have ever come through the store!

It appears to be a rather chess like stately royal figure flanked by a pair of large birds (eagles? ravens? …rooks?😬)

Where’s it from? What building was it on? …we have no idea!🤷
And the people we bought it from? …they had no idea either. 😞 They got it from the estate of a collector with no info🤔

We do know that it’s BIG! 30”H x 23”W x 16”D.
We’re guessing it weighs somewhere north of 125 pounds

It’s definitely a statement piece!

It’s raining antiques!! So many new arrivals in the store this week!!!
From a large 1930’s tilt top drafting table, to a c.1950 chrome signal corp telephone on a scissor arm, to an antique watch makers bench, to a c.1900 shoe shine chair, to a GIANT set of old industrial bellows, to….
Just A LOT of unusual great old stuff!😃

Picked up pretty cool pair of old strap iron gates a couple of days ago! Solid and heavy!

They'd make a great garden entrance⛩️, plant trellis🌸, permanent Halloween display🎃, or addition to your home dungeon💀⛓️...or all of the above. So many creative possibilities😃

Each half is roughly 31 1/2"W x 78"H.
Combined width is 63"

What's the surprise vintage find of the day?

How about a TINY 1949 Toko Tone camera?

This is a vintage camera that we never even knew existed!
Apparently they were only made in 1948 and 1949 in Occupied Japan. This one even has its original case!! Both the camera and case are in great condition.

The perfect treasure for any vintage camera fanatic 😃

There’s just something oddly mesmerizing and intriguing about bad creepy old taxidermy!
These two old friends definitely fall into the “it’s so bad, it’s good!” category!
Do these two have names? Maybe. Maybe not. That’ll be up to their future owner 🦎🐢
