Horsie! A Really Sweet Vintage Rocking Horse

This is a sweet little rocking horsie!

This neutral colored rocking horse with the yarn mane is  perhaps from the 1970s (?).  That still makes him vintage, or even close to antique, the way some people define antiques.

Condition:  He is in very good shape.

Dimensions: Vintage rocking horse: 26″ L x 7.5″ W.  It’s 14″ to the top of the seat, and 22″ to the top of the horse’s head.

Price:   $20.00, plus 5.5% Maine State Sales tax of $1.10 for a total of $21.10.

Shipping & Delivery:  Free local pickup.  We can deliver within Lewiston-Auburn for a $15.00 delivery fee, or Gray/Portland (along the 202 Route, or just off it) early Wednesday mornings for the same $15.00.  Shipping is $20.00.

Horsie! A Very Old Red Horse Designed for 2 Kids

Here’s a wonderful antique child’s horsie for two!

Our red horse with black features is clearly an antique, although a quick run through the thousands of photos of “red wood horses” didn’t find any similar to this one. 

This horsie was designed for two small children to ride together as you can see from the two sets of pegs… or perhaps one larger child who wanted to sit toward the rear, and perch his or her legs on the front pegs.

Condition: 

This antique horse has been well-loved.  Really well-loved.  And he even has broken his front leg, possibly in service to a generation of bouncing, excited kids.  He needs a lot of restoration work (including the “handles” that are missing as shown by the holes in the poor guy’s head) – or could be displayed as is, in all his well-worn beauty.

Dimensions: 

Red antique horse:  31″L x 9″ W.  It’s 10.5″ to the top of the seat, and 20″ to the top of the horse’s head.

Price:  $40.00. Plus 5.5% Maine State Sales tax, of $2.20 for a total of $42.20.

Location & Purchasing: This piece is located in our display case (#27) at Cabot Mill Antiques, Fort Andross, 14 Maine Street, Brunswick ME. You can purchase directly through them by visiting that beautiful shop, 7 days a week from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm (7:00 pm on Fridays).

Alternatively, if you don’t mind waiting a bit:

Shipping & Delivery: Because this item is on display 20 miles from us, I may not even know for several days (usually over a weekend) whether or not an item is still available, but can bring it back to Lewiston for you the next time I’m in Brunswick updating our display. At that point, you’d be able to take advantage of local pick up at my office (by appointment only), or I can get it delivered to you per the next paragraph.

We can deliver within Lewiston-Auburn most days, or along the Lewiston-Lisbon-Topsham-Brunswick route (dates vary), for a $15.00 delivery fee, or Gray/Portland (along the 202 Route, or just off it) early Wednesday mornings for the same $15.00.

Shipping via USPS is $20.00.

Greek or Roman Urn with 3 Maidens

I love old statuary, and while this isn’t really a “statue”, it still makes me happy in that awe of the ages kind of way.  And I really, really like it with the philodendron curling around the maidens.  It just feels so very classic.

Condition: 
Excellent, vintage condition.

Dimensions:  About 15″ high, although as usual, I’m creating the blog while several miles away, and forgot to bring the dimensions with me!  Will update soon.

Price:  $60.00, plus 5.5% Maine State Sales Tax of $3.30 for a total of $63.30.  

Unless we’re having a sale, which would be listed here, our prices are firm.  

Shipping & Delivery:
  Free local pickup.  We can deliver within Lewiston-Auburn for a $15.00 delivery fee, or Gray/Portland (along the 202 Route, or just off it) early Wednesday mornings for the same $15.00.  Shipping is $15.00.

3 Beautiful Vintage George Z Lefton Calico Cats

We found these sweet little calico cats at the estate sale of a local child psychologist who died a few years back, and with whom I’d had some previous work-related conversations. 

He was an avid collector of a wide array of interesting items from cats to cookie jars to radios, as well as a talented artist and photographer in his own right.

The 3 hand-painted Lefton cats pictured here are from 1985, and – it seems – fairly rare.  I’ve found few instances of them on-line, either sold or for sale.  The prices listed are slightly less than the actual sold prices I found.

George Zoltan Lefton was a Hungarian immigrant who apparently was originally a designer and manufacturer of sportswear, but eventually began producing his ceramic designs such as these lovely, collectible kitties.

Condition:  All pieces are in excellent condition with no chips or cracks.

Dimensions:  
Upright kitty:  about 5.5″ tall x 4.5″ wide
Watchful kitty:  about 5.5″ long x 3″ tall
Sleeping kitty: about 5.5″ long x 1.5″ tall

Price:  Individually, they are $28.00 each plus $1.54 Maine State Sales Tax each. 
As a set, $74.00 for all three.   Plus 5.5% Maine State Sales Tax of $4.07 for a total of $78.07.  

Unless we’re having a sale, which would be listed here, our prices are firm.  

Shipping & Delivery:
  Free local pickup.  We can deliver within Lewiston-Auburn for a $15.00 delivery fee, or Gray/Portland (along the 202 Route, or just off it) early Wednesday mornings for the same $15.00.  Shipping is $15.00.

Beautiful Handmade Full-Sized Quilt in Pink and Black

This quilt is just lovely with its cheerful bright pink patches tempered with the black floral ones. When I bid on this at a recent auction, I had no idea that apparently the quilt maker was related to the auctioneer – possibly his mother, based on the name safety-pinned to a small piece of paper on the back.

She had also priced the quilt, possibly for a church or other sale, and I decided to keep the price the same in her honor.

Whoever purchases this beautiful piece will get the crafter’s name in her own handwriting, still attached.

The quilt is reversible if you prefer it that way.

Condition:   Excellent.  I doubt it’s ever been used.

Dimensions:  7’3″ long by 5’7″ wide, so it’s slightly narrower than a standard full-sized quilt, not quite meeting the 78″ standard for a 12″ drop typical of a full-sized quilt.  

Price:  $75.00, plus 5.5% Maine State Sales Tax of $4.3 for a total of $79.13.  

Unless we’re having a sale, which would be listed here, our prices are firm.  

Shipping & Delivery:
  Free local pickup.  We can deliver within Lewiston-Auburn for a $15.00 delivery fee, or Gray/Portland (along the 202 Route, or just off it) early Wednesday mornings for the same $15.00.  Shipping is $25.00.

Possible Delivery Options in the Next Week or So – January 31-February 07, 2021

Because we sometimes travel throughout Maine and New Hampshire to pick up new inventory, we thought perhaps our customers would like to know if we plan to be near their area at any time, in order to deliver heavier or more fragile items for less than a shipping company might charge.

So here’s a quick overview of some upcoming travel. We’ll try to stay on top of this in case it’s helpful for you! (The above photo is of our constant travel companions.)

Please Note Our Delivery Fees: Generally, our delivery charge is $15.00 around town (Lewiston/Auburn) or anywhere along a route we might be traveling on. (It can take time to package up inventory to be able to deliver it to you safely, and then time to go out of our way and actually do the delivery.) If you’re more than about a mile off the route we’re traveling on, there’s an additional cost of $1.98 per mile that we have to travel off our route.

On Sunday, January 31, 2021, we will be in South Paris (ME) by about 6:30 am, and returning to Lewiston-Auburn around 9:30. After that, we’ll be traveling to Old Town (ME) from Lewiston-Auburn (ME), leaving here at about 10:00 am and arriving up there by noon or so. As above, we can deliver within a mile along the route for $15.00 that morning, or further off the route for $1.98 per mile.  There will not be room in the Jeep to deliver on our return to Lewiston-Auburn, or our return from Old Town.

On Monday, February 1st, I’ll be heading to Brunswick (ME) around 9:15 am, and returning to Lewiston by noontime.

For the rest of Monday, February 1st, and all day Tuesday the 2nd, Thursday the 4th, and Friday the 5th, I’ll be working at my office management business, out of my own office (where some of our inventory is stored) or at my clients’ offices… all in Lewiston (ME). If you’d like to pick up an item, I’m more than happy to be here for you, but need a specific time so I can make sure I’m available. (And of course, I do have meetings via Zoom that are conducted from my office, and which I must be in full attendance for!)

On Thursday, February 4th, I’ll be heading to North Yarmouth from Lewiston-Auburn around 4:30, and can deliver in the Gray-Yarmouth-Pineland area around that time.

On Saturday, February 6th, we’ll be traveling to Harpswell (ME) at some point in the morning. The time is dependent on other factors we aren’t yet sure of, but we’ll probably be leaving Lewiston-Auburn around 9:00 and returning around 10:30 or so. We will be stopping off in Brunswick at some point; probably on the trip back from Harpswell. We can definitely deliver in the morning, but won’t know until late Wednesday night if we can deliver on the return trip.

Quite probably on Sunday, February 7th, we’ll be traveling to Ossipee (NH) from Lewiston-Auburn (ME). We can transport inventory along the route there, but not on the way back. We won’t know the time – or even if it’s definite yet – until early Saturday evening, the 6th.

Please Note: If we do have to deviate from our planned route i.e. by driving 10 miles out of our way, it would require adjusting our time schedule somewhat, meaning we’d have to leave earlier in order to still arrive at our destination on time.

Any and all items plus delivery charges must be paid for in advance.

SOLD! Vintage Drop Leaf Side Table with Great Features!

This is a beautiful drop leaf side table with a good clean drawer that unfortunately has lost its finish on much of the top surface, perhaps from repeated overwatering of a plant placed on that corner? (The two sides have mostly retained their glossy finish.)

It’s a lovely piece with beautiful detailing on the legs, and would be worth a great deal more than what we’re asking for it, if the finish was in better condition.

Even with this flaw, the table is lovely, and would look great anywhere. You could even put another plant on the spot and hide the blemish! (Just be careful with the watering!)

Condition:  Structurally, it’s in great condition.  The area where the finish has eroded can be seen in the photos.  There is a pit in the wood on top of the table, as well as a smaller one a few inches over.  There are a couple of other scratches here and there that are to be expected.

Dimensions:  It’s about 27″ long by 17.5″ wide by 27.5″ high.  Each leaf is about 10.5″ at its widest, so fully opened, the table would be just over 3′ in diameter.  

Price:  $60.00, plus 5.5% Maine State Sales Tax of $3.30 for a total of $63.30.  

Unless we’re having a sale, which would be listed here, our prices are firm.  

Shipping & Delivery:
  Free local pickup.  We can deliver within Lewiston-Auburn for a $15.00 delivery fee, or Gray/Portland (along the 202 Route, or just off it) early Wednesday mornings for the same $15.00.  Shipping is $35.00.

SOLD! Large Driftwood … Can You See the Horse’s Head?

With just a touch of imagination, you can see the shape of a horse’s head in this fantastic piece of driftwood. That’s the way it was presented to us, and yes, we can see it! How fun and magical is that?

This would look fabulous at your beach cottage or home, or pretty much anywhere else.

Condition:   It’s in very good, heavy, driftwood-y shape and condition.

Dimensions:  About 3′ feet high/long x 16″ wide x 9″ deep.

Price:  $74.00, plus 5.5% Maine State Sales Tax of $4.07 for a total of $78.07.
