SOLD! Zappa – An Original Created by Stippling

Art - Zappa

According to Wikipedia, “Stippling is the creation of a pattern simulating varying degrees of solidity or shading by using small dots. Such a pattern may occur in nature and these effects are frequently emulated by artists”.

You can see how effective this method is in recreating the likeness of Frank Zappa.  Photos of others coming soon.

Heritage Collectibles Boutique – Opening Soon!

Business Card

While it’s been great having our inventory in markets like The Undercover Antique Mall in Oxford, the Southern Maine Indoor Flea Market in Scarborough and Drinker of the Wind Studio in Turner, we’ve also really wanted to have our own place… partly to get all of our fabulous inventory out of our house, where it’s taken over!

The Heritage Collectibles Boutique will also allow us some space to start our eBay business.

Signs for Storefront

John and I are thrilled to announce that very soon, we’ll be opening the Heritage Collectibles Boutique at 5 Park Street in Lewiston.   “Soon” is because we have a lot of painting and cleaning up to do inside the space before we can start to add fixtures and inventory… and we both work a lot of hours each week at our regular jobs.

However, the Boutique will definitely be open by Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving), and almost certainly before then!

We’ll be working hard to find more cool, vintage and collectible items, as well as Americana, Signage and Military pieces.

In the meantime, you can find out more about Heritage Collectibles by visiting our Facebook page or checking us out on Pinterest.

***
Consignment available at our Boutique or in our spaces at the Southern Maine Indoor Flea Market and the Undercover Antique Mall.  Give us a call to find out more!

We clean out garage sales, yard sales, rummage sales and flea markets!

FMI:  Linda Snyder at 207 740 2247 or John Snyder at 207 713 0674.

SOLD! Columbia-Type AX Tong Test Amp-Meter – $85.00

Amp Meter 2

The fact that this measures AC AND DC makes it valuable. Circa 1950. 100% fully functioning and accurate. The case is immaculate. Several are available on line, none nearly as good as this one. All are in the $50-80 range (with no guarantee if they work or are accurate) and shipping of $25-40, so my $85 is an acceptable price.
