I've had a fun-filled day of thrifting, and bought home some un-expected treasures!


 


Stopped in good-will, Saw a nice old 1984 TV, with knobs! Didn't bring it home, I need more storage before there's a wall of TV's in the vacuum room!

Stopped in another thrift store, Overpriced Hoover Elites, and Overpriced Wetsuits!!!!


 


Decided to stop in a thrift store that rarely has cool stuff, boy was i ever surprised!


 


TWO G-E hand-mixers, to match my mint-green and closely kept GE hand-mixer, the same model!


AND Some unknown blender brand, called a "Crest". Never heard of them! it's odd, the blender cup thingy is clear plastic, and the base also appears to be chrome-plated plastic!


 


I ran out to the car to get money (I didn't bring any considering this thrift store rarely has the cool stuff!).


I ran back in, And spotted a Dormeyer stand mixer hiding behind the other appliances! Glad i bought a $20!


Everything WOULD'VE came to $36, I'm glad everything was 1/2 off!


 


Then I went off to a closing thrift store, 1987 television, same Sears slide projector (They close tuesday, I plan to go back the last day and see what deals i can get!

). Was about to walk out when I spotted a Sears tool-caddy (Some plastic teeth are missing, 2 of them, drats! It's stained regardless) and a VERY special type of Electrolux Style C bags, See the picture!

I feel stupid now! Thanks for clearing that up,I didn't see 'WARING' until I posted the picture!

Boy did you clean up!!! What a haul, and on a chance just passing by. But that's how it usually happens, I can only think what habitat thinks of me popping in every other day & I'm only trying to help their organization
 
I usually get my best finds in the shop I've never found anything at all. Persistence is the key to great finds!
 
Our local Wards was handy, well equipped and with good sales staff, we were very sad with its closing and of course the charge! I miss my canned ham Wards Eureka, it had a big set of ball in the suction dept, and the power head did too.Wonder where it is now, I know its got to still be alive!

didn't they turn your montgomery wards into a two story Walmart?? If I remember right that is what it was. I used to just live down the street from it on ElCamino Ave.. I thought it was weird how walmart got shopping carts up and down the second story.. Oh the good old days.. Dan
 
My local Wards,

Is still vacant! besides a consignment shop that occupied it about 2 years ago! (COOL place, they even had a hearse parked in it!). I tried an old fan once in it (Well the cashier did!) and it was an electrical nightmare! didn't buy it, but I did buy my first typewriter there! (So I can half-way say my first typewriter came from a Montgomery ward!

). It was a 2-story, but the 2nd story's escalators were sealed off. Wonder if they still work? the elevators didn't, or at least according to the sign on them! it was such a cool place, I wish i could go wonder around in it all day!


 


There was one by a highway, don't know about that one!

Very nice finds! I'm jealous of your GE hand mixers and your WAY COOL Dormeyer stand mixer!!! I would love to see more pictures of your Dormeyer! Do you have any idea when it was made? :) -Michelle
