This is a vintage Postcard album with greeting cards for Easter, Christmas, Birthdays, Thanksgiving etc. They are all from the early 1900s and in varying, but good, shape. Most are floral or artist renditions of seasonal themes (I&#39;m including typical page samples in the photos). A good lot for collectors or dealers.

Big Lot - Interesting Vintage Wooden Items

This is a lot of old hinges and handles. They are all metal and black in color. One photo shows the three different things that are in this box. The screws that fit them also are in there. I&#39;m throwing in the beater of an old wooden box that they are all in. Don&#39;t expect to probably display that on your mantle piece though. Lol. The hardware is strong but fairly thin. They need a cleanup before using, but they are quite usable.

There are about 50 real photo postcards from the early 1900s, depicting everyday life, places, and portraits. There are also several more from that era that are good and interesting.

Included too are a number of celebrity postcards that are chrome cards and more recent (there are multiples of some of these - Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Billy Idol, Marilyn Monroe). Other celebs include James Dean, Elvis, Dustin Hoffman, Bob Hope,  Bing Crosby, The Spice Girls and more. Additionally,  there is a small stack of various other chrome cards.

A cast iron wall hook covered in receipts and papers of all sorts. This is in &#39;as found&#39; condition - I have not added to or taken away anything.  I don&#39;t have a picture of the hook by itself because in order to do that I would have to take every one of these papers off and then put them back on again. Look at the pics, you&#39;ll get the idea (the hook is cool). Sort of one family&#39;s expenditure time-capsule. Its from Stayner Ontario. Fun.

Cast Hook &#38; Ephemera 1950s and 60s 

I have not actually counted the photos in this huge lot but there are hundreds of them. Most of them are from the early 1900s, ranging up to probably the 1950s. Most are loose but a few are framed or mounted and there are photo albums or partial photo albums included too. I found three tin types which are featured in the photos right near the beginning. Most of these are family type photos with some featuring occupational subjects such as farming. A couple appear to be military and school related. Summer labeled on the back, some aren&#39;t. Lots of good stuff, but my favorite thing is the smallest framed picture of Gary Cooper - was this a sample photo when they bought the frame and they just never took it out? Beats me, but I like it. For scale, the box in the last pic is approx 16x9x12 inches in size. Most of these are in quite good condition considering their age. Hours of fun in this box!

Hundreds of Antique Photos - All Kinds &#38; Subjects,  A Few Tintypes

Not sure if either of these two clocks can be made to work, but they sure are lovely looking display items. The wooden one, which comes with a winding key but seems to be seized, is 7 in tall 7 in wide and 4 in deep. The round metal one is about 4.5 in around and two and a half inches deep. I&#39;m not exactly sure how old these clocks are but they definitely have a fair bit of age to them. I&#39;ve used them as display pieces in my office and don&#39;t care if they are functioning or not because they just have a great look!

This is an Aiwa Reel to Reel tape recorder, circa 1965. It comes in it&#39;s original box, carrying handle, along with a microphone for recording and an ear bud for listening. Takes four C cell batteries. Has been in my family since purchased. I can&#39;t guarantee it still functions, as it&#39;s been a long time since it was used (worked back then though). Everything appears to be in good condition. Measures about 9 x 8 inches.

Silver-Plated Teapot, Tray & Platters (10)

I don&#39;t know much about this so hopefully the photos help you. This lot of 10 pieces includes a large serving tray with a teapot, two pedestal serving platters and five flat serving platters. There is a pair of platters in excellent condition, marked HTF June 1989. I am pretty certain they are from the Hamilton Teachers Federation retirement dinner of that year. The smaller of the two pedestal platters has no mark on it that I can see and the larger one is marked Regis plate made in England. The smallest plate and one of the flat platters is Rogers and Son EP on Copper and the other two platters are EP steel made in China. The Teapot says Royale Old English Reprod EP Copper and the large serving tray isn&#39;t marked as far as I can tell. Everything is in decent shape with expected tarnish. My mother really like this stuff and kept all the pieces wrapped in Saran Wrap. I guess that&#39;s a strategy...
