The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

[330CK]

where is the mirror from though? i figured either some colony or very rural place the crown with lightning shooting out of it is boss

My first thought when I found it was Central or South American. Appraiser doesn’t know for sure either, but said most likely Spanish Colonial, very likely Central or South American.

You can see remnants of red and green paint, along with the gilding—a polychrome pattern very common to Spain/Spanish work.

Speaking of kicks...

Chaos and violence erupted when hundreds of people showed up to get 99-cent sneakers from Adidas and Arizona Iced Tea — see what happened

The New York Police Department shut down an Adidas and Arizona Iced Tea sneaker pop-up in SoHo on Thursday after two people were assaulted in line.

That's awesome!

I still have my camera find sitting on a shelf. A 1952 Canon IVSB for $15.

I'd try and take it for a spin, but the ****** is more complicated than the space shuttle.

Probably late pass on this
but if you didn't see what ended up happening

Sotheby's Sells 99 Pairs Out of the 100 Rarest Sneakers of All Time

So far, all but one of the 100 pairs of sneakers in Sotheby’s “Ultimate Sneaker Collection” auction has been sold.

www.nbcnewyork.com

one guy bought 99 / 100 pairs. and i'm sure he'll make sure he wins pair #100

I guess their plan worked: some rich dude with bad taste in sneakers bought all of em. Those were so insanely overpriced and 2/3 trash.

I seem to recall that @barrelntrigger once posted an ancient Japanese vase or something like that. I don’t remember how old it was.

It was a Chinese vase from the Ming dynasty I think and I hope. Long time no see, guys! Haven't been on here in years! Lol life got busy. I've been doing lots of ot. It beats the money I was making from thrifting. Lol been traveling, too. Haven't been into the fashion scene lately. But did get some hookup with some stuff.

what’s the record for oldest item posted here? got an appraisal back on the nightmare mirror, and turns out it’s likely late 17th century. gonna hang it, I think it’s amazing.

I can't remember if I posted this before. I found it in a flea market at the start of last year. It's an empty bottle of the "eau de Cologne" made in Cologne by Johanne Maria Farina. The first edc made in 1709 came in a long tubular bottle. This is a later release, still probably 18th century.

but but they're going in a museum!

(totally overpriced)

i'm sure guy will bid on those moon shoes as well and probably pay way too much on those, too
