The Georges Briard ice bucket is from the 1960s and has never been used. The box even has a Green Stamps sticker on it. It cost 5 3/4 books, which was a pretty pricey Green Stamps purchase for a small item back then.
I also lucked out and got two great Raymor pieces with stickers still intact...a pitcher and matching mugs, as well as a footed bowl in two segments.
I'm still watching a few more pieces. When you're on a roll, who wants to stop?

The ice bucket with Green Stamps? It's like it was sent through a time machine - sooo cool.
ReplyDeleteWhoo hoo!
ReplyDeleteNo matter how many disappointments I get from eBay, they are usually minor-moderate, and you cannot find the range of items nor the deals anywhere else but eBay lol...
so pretty! are these for keeps or for sale?
ReplyDeletealso ~ have you made any sales in the shop yet?! i've been dying to know :)
@DearHelenHartman: I hadn't thought about Green Stamps in ages. Isn't that cool?
ReplyDelete@1950sarh: I agree. You could go to a million estate sales and not find what you're looking for, but you can almost always find it right at your fingertips on eBay.
ReplyDelete@stacey: Yes, we've sold several pieces of furniture and tons of smalls. We're really pleased with sales so far. And to answer your other question, I used the company card to pay for all this, but I'm sure giving the 2-part bowl the eye...:)
ReplyDeleteIt's always amazing to find things from the 50's and 60's that are unused and in original packaging! I hear you on Ebay - I too have been perusing and buying lately. It's addictive!
ReplyDeleteawesome! the tea set is such a beauty....sad about the tray though..:(
ReplyDelete@sudha: Never fear...The bowl is actually two separate footed bowls that fit together. It didn't get broken. :)
