Auction item for Marilyn_C
Comments (6)I have a hard time finding old cupboards, like the one above, that are in good condition. When I go to the flea market, I see a lot of them, but on closer examination, they are often new or cobbled together. Or badly painted and in poor condition. However, one of my favorite ones, my husband found sitting out in someone's trash. It needs a new glass in the door, but it is way cool with lots of stacked/crown molding and original hardware on the door. I'd take a picture of it, but it is in the Rust Palace...which is what I call the storage building because I have so much old iron stuff in there, and I can't get close enough to it to take a picture. Another one I have, I went to an estate auction in Galveston years ago. There was so much cool stuff in that house...but out in the garage was a couple cupboards. One, hanging on the wall, that had an old window for a door. The other one was huge....and extra wide and deep....and very heavy. The owner had stored paint and all kinds of stuff in them. I waited all day to bid on them and passed up a lot of nice things that I would have liked to have. When they finally came up...I got the hanging one for about $35, and I was pleased. But the big one....a dealer was there to buy it and she was determined. I had waited on it all day so I wasn't going to let it go. She kept uping the bids by $50 trying to scare me away. I just stayed with her, and I don't remember how much it cost...maybe $600. She left...mad. I left...happy....See MoreMarilyn C; PBS show reminded me of you!
