black hanger
From The Tilda Collections. I recently saw in Country Living that OLD wire hangers are selling to collectors at premium prices. Must be old and unique. This fits that description perfectly. From my own personal collection, I have had this hanger for many years. It is especially unique, in original black paint with its age evident, truly only showing its age. It is metal, curved from top to ends to hang a suit or coat nicely, held with the original heavy metal hanger. The back is printed into the metal the words... The Tourist Trade. Manf'd by The Buckeye Stereopticom Co, Cleveland, O. Pat. Jan. 3, 05. One of the finest examples of old hangers I have seen. All original, right and true. A Collectors Piece! 17" across the bottom. $98 + SH

From the Tilda Collections. I have 15 old metal dustpans hanging on my dining room walls. Some black, some the old greens, some with no color left, some rusted. I LOVE dustpans. This one was painted black and indeed, still shows that paint on the back. The front has peeling paint, which I have left alone, and some rust which could be removed, but I usually don't. $28+sh

From the Tilda Collections. This came several years ago from an old antique dealer from the Neboshone, an old woman whose shop you could spend literally hours in, with things tucked into corners, under tables, and in out of the way places. I found such treasures there. This bust in heavy and I always thought the woman looked like an Indian. It is 10" tall, finished in a copper color with verde green tinge of color on it here and there.. It is a handmade pottery piece, exceptionally well made, in excellent condition. Not signed. $89+SH
