Women's Golf Clubs & Bag

 I haven't touched these things since I moved her.  After breaking my stupid elbow, no way I can even straighten my right arm out to swing one, so why bother keeping them.  I bought them, new, in 1994, and rarely had time to use them.  This a full set with three woods, six irons, putter, wedge (?), and a really nifty putter I sold in the store I had in SC.  I paid a heck of a lot of money for them.  Cat hair is extra.  I'll have them spiffed up by Friday morning.  From what I can tell, the going rate for used clubs and the bag is about $100, so that's the sale price.

Misc. Crosses

I have far too many crosses.  They are hanging on the wall by the stairs, where the cats constantly knock them off, breaking them.  I'm tired of hanging them back up, pounding new nails, and trying to repair broken ones.

Cowboy Night Before Christmas

There are 2 copies of this cute little gift book by Waddie Mitchell.

Historic Map of AZ & NM Territories

The map is about 24X12 or so, hand colored and is the same date as the US map. 

Map of US

I don't remember the date.  It is hand colored, about 8X10.  I think it is either 1860 or 1870.

Table

The end table is in very good condition. There is a matching coffee table, but I don't know if I'll be able to get it here in time.

Hand Carving from Jamaica

I bought this in Jamaica, I think while I was trekking up through a rainforest.  Once upon a time, before the drug dealers took over the country, I spent a lot of time there.  I miss not being able to go there, today.  One of the drivers I hired was a friend of the care-taker for Goldeneye, Ian Fleming's home.  I was able to get a tour.  Stunning location.

Christmas Wreaths

Need a bag o' wreaths? I don't know how many there are.  They came up from the basement today.  I assume there are at least 15 or so.  They're selling for $2.00 each, dust is not extra.  I also have some grapevine wreaths at $2.00 and a couple other wreaths. 

Pretty Boxes

The boxes came with a set of dishes.  They were so stunning, who could toss them? 

Dresser Set

 My mother did not even know she'd bought this.  It is a 3 piece set, still in the wrapping from the gift shop where she purchased it, when I found it.  The jewelry case is quite nice. It is in perfect condition, and would make a lovely gift.

The Infamous Bread Machine

 The Cuisinart Bread Machine (instructions included) has been used once.  Yep, it's another electronic gift that my mother has used only once.  She did not want me to sell it, but I told her I prefer making my bread the old fashioned way, in the oven.  I actually bake good bread.  

1870 Map of New Mexico Territory


It is a gorgeous map, original, framed.

Franklin Mint Star Trek Insignia Collection

Once upon a time we thought stuff sold by the Franklin Mint was worth buying.  Now, I think most people know it was a total and complete crock designed to separate idiots like moi from their money.  One of those fool's ventures was the Star Trek Insignia Collection. I forgot I even had them.  They don't hold up well with age.  But, if you are a Trekkie, they are of some strange value.  They were to me, then I began giving my things to my nephew.

Far Side Christmas Cards - "Vintage"

I did not even know I had these.  Josie found them on Sunday.  There are at least 10 different styles of Far Side, and off-beat Christmas Cards.  They've been separated and packaged by card.  I also have numerous blank cards and card sets.  The other day I found a stack of Valentine's Day cards.  The Far Side cards are at least 10 years old, and in excellent condition.  If you use them now, I doubt if you will see anyone else sending them.

Paper Napkins

What can I say? 

Plastic (?) Camellias

Josie & I found some interesting plastic camellias that I had in my shop in South Carolina, ages go.  They have faced a little with age, but I think they look better than when I first purchased them in 1988!  They are gorgeous on a Christmas Tree.  The flowers are unique.  I've never seen any others like this.

Misc. Tombstone Souvenirs

Nothing exciting, other than a deck of old style playing cards, a few magnets, post cards, tokens, that sort of thing.

Napkins, Paper Napkins

If you need paper napkins, especially yellow ones, well, come and get them!

Mexican Made Beverage Crock

When I took this photo, I didn't even think about the lid, which is there.  Found it today.  The crock is nearly a foot tall, and holds several gallons of beverage. 

Lionel Toy Train

 This is one of the last real Christmas presents I gave to my father.  He always wanted a toy train, but never got around to having one.  I don't even think he opened it.  I can't see keeping it, unless someone in the family intervenes.  I'm selling it for $125.

Embossing Powder for Rubber Stamps

There are quite a few rubber stamps, none of them used.  The embossing powder is unopened.  I enjoy playing with it.

Set of 4 Chairs

The set of 4 chairs is in good shape.  They need to be painted, but everyone has a different idea of a decorator color.

Cute Travel Tool Thingie

This vintage goodie came from the Plaza Hotel gift shop.  I think I bought it around 1985.  I ought to keep it, and might still to it.  It is like new, thought the tape is shot.

Nieman Marcus Popcorn Tin

 There are 3 Nieman Marcus Popcorn Tins. Ignore the what-ever-it-is on the lid.  It could be a press.ure cooker.  Having never used one, I have no idea what it is

Electric Turkey Fryer

The electric turkey fryer needs to be dusted which it will be, as soon as I get it here in town.  It also looks worse because of the light angle.  It's still in San Patricio.  I think my father was allowed to use it one time.  The interior is clean, but obviously needs to be sanitized before cooking.  These things scare me. 

CAUTION:  Don't drink & fry.

Levenger Tote Bag

This was one of my father's Levenger totes.  When we traveled, I would put a couple cowboy books in it, each day.  He had his snacks, a pad, and we hoped, a place for his wallet, and glasses.  Before we knew he had Alzheimer's, he was always misplacing his wallet when he sat on the back seat.  The object was to put the wallet in the tote.  Same thing with his glasses.  He'd read a couple cowboy books a day.  I rationed them.  Each morning, I'd put a couple more in it for him.  He had his candy in it.   There is a discoloration on the front side.  I suspect it is where he probably spilled his coffee. The bag easily cleans.  We had two of these totes for him.  I'm keeping the other one.

Cat Balls, Paper Umbrellas & Beeswax

 These are small play balls for cats, with a noise maker inside.  Naturally the cat won't want them.  I'm also selling a cat feeder that is an adventure toy, recommended by Jackson Galaxy.  My cats could care less.  His advice is good though.  I followed what he said about cats, and managed to keep the other cats from beating up on Baby when she was a baby.

There is a pound of beeswax.

The paper umbrellas are perfect for cocktails and doing something stupid with them!


Samsonite Computer Brief-Bag

The Samsonite brief-bag will hold a 17" laptop, with dividers for various things.  It will handle a fairly heavy load.  Heavy duty, the shoulder strap is missing.

Sony Cyber Shot 12.1MP Digital Camera

Once again, yet another attempt to give my mother something electronic for a birthday.  It failed.  The camera comes with a 4GB Scan Disk card, charger, connecting USB, and the instructions!   $50

Valentine's Day, Hearts & Love Rubber Stamps

I like this line of rubber stamps.  I especially like the inking cubes.  The cubes are 1inch square which shows the size of the rubber stamps.  $8.00 new.

2PM Tombstone by Danny Day

 Artist Danny Day has created a wonderful series of lithograph prints about Wyatt Earp and the OK Corral.  "...It's 2 p.m. in Tombstone, Arizona at Haffords Saloon just before the gunfight at the OK Corral. Virgil, Morgan and Wyatt Earp are expertly painted into this historic scene. Artist Danny Day used archived photos to paint character in this piece. Done on heavy weight archival paper (never turns brown with age) and measures 23 x 31 inches. We have a very limited supply of these pieces to sell so call now for one of a thousand signed and numbered pieces. This was sold-out edition in 1996 and very few remain..."  There are 1000 signed & numbered prints.  I am not sure which number mine is.  It is in the closet.  I'm down-sizing, and getting rid of most of my prints, with just a couple exceptions.  
Framed, the price is $200.

Rubber Stamps

 They range in price from $5.00 to $1.00.  All are brand new, never haven been used. 







Cute Little Cross

It is a cute little, simple wooden cross, maybe 24 inches long.

Original Painting #2 by Tom Hilbern

 I'm not as fond of this piece as I am the first one.  But, it is a rather pricy little painting, and should sell for between $1,200 - $1,600.  I want $1,000 for it.

Original Painting by Tom Hilbern

 This is the first of two paintings both by Tom Hilbern.  When on of his pieces is in good condition, it brings upward of $1,200 - $1,600.  This has a little damage.  An artist out of Texas, he spent time in New Mexico. His style is all his own.  It is an incredible piece.  If I cannot get $800 for it, I'm not selling it.
