SOLD! Nice Solid Little Coffee Table with a Blue Top

Posted on July 30, 2016 by lindasnyder
 Coffee Table with Blue Top Coffee Table with Blue Top 3 Coffee Table with Blue Top 2

Here’s a great little coffee table – nothing fancy, but sturdy and functional – that someone painted in a country blue on its surface.  (The photos make it look greenish, but it’s really a blue.)  You can’t beat the value for the price.

Use as is, or turn it into a project piece.

Condition:  Structurally it’s in great shape.  There is an area on the top that seems to have sustained some damage (water, perhaps), but a well-placed doily or plant, and voila! Totally hidden!

Dimensions: About 15″H x 40″L x 20″D.

Price:  $15.00 (was $20.00).  Maine State Sales Tax of 5.5% applies.

***************

NOTE:  With the exception of books, maps & music, most of our antique and other inventory can now be found at the Undercover Antique Mall in Oxford.  FMI:  https://heritagecollectiblesmaine.com/details-hours/ 

We hope you will enjoy our revamped shop, as well as our booth in Oxford, as you did our original retail space on Main Street.

For those dying to check out the revamped Heritage Collectibles, Books & Maps, we are still in the same building, but our new entrance is at the back of that building.  

Just enter 9 Park Street, Lewiston into your GPS and park in the nearest available spot.  Our entrance is through the door at the end of the building on the right hand side.  You’ll see signs in the windows (“Retail Store” and “Heritage Collectibles” and “Antiques” as well as others; you’ll also see my silver Jeep Liberty parked nearby.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us since August of 2104!

 Modern Entertainment Center 4 Modern Entertainment Center

 

This is a nice little modern-design entertainment center.  It’s lightweight and easy to move around, but also seems designed to hold fairly heavy objects, such as a television.

Although it’s made of particle board or a similar fake wood material, its usefulness can’t be beat for the price!

Condition:  Structurally it’s in great shape.  Cosmetically… it has some minor dings.

Dimensions: About 23″H x 51″W x 15″D.

Price:  $24.00.  Maine State Sales Tax of 5.5% applies.

Posted on July 24, 2016 by lindasnyder

Price:  $20.00.  Maine State Sales Tax of 5.5% applies.

Location:  This item can be found at our booth (#56) at the Den of Antiquities, 1399 Bridgton Road, Westbrook ME.

Cookbooks! We Have ‘Em!

Posted on July 22, 2016 by lindasnyder

Cookbooks Cookbooks 6 Cookbooks 11

We have loads of boxes crammed full with cookbooks, including many older ones – with more on their way!  (Now we just have to get them back on the shelves, after reorganizing the shop!)

See more pictures below from before the downsizing. (Note: Some of the pictures, especially those taken using the “panorama” setting on my iPhone, make the shelves and books look crooked.  They’re not!)

We have American cooking, Asian cooking, French cooking, German cooking, Italian cooking, vegetarian cooking, barbecue, baking, breakfast, desserts, The Joy of Cooking, the Barefoot Contessa, James Beard, Julia Child, and much more!

If there’s a specific book, cuisine, or author that you’re looking for, send Linda a text at 2077402247 and I’ll let you know if we have it in stock, its condition & type of binding, and what the price is, along with a picture of the front cover.

Condition:  The books range in condition from used and rather poor condition, all the way to new or like new.  Most are in good to very good condition.

Price:  Prices vary, but are generally in the $2-$3 range.  Older books, especially first editions, are market value and could be $7-$8 or more.  Maine State Sales Tax of .5% applies.  Bulk purchases of 24+ cookbooks can provide you with considerable savings.

July ArtWalk – Brandon Goding is Our Featured Photographer!

Posted on July 22, 2016 by lindasnyder

ArtWalk - Brandon Goding ArtWalk - Brandon Goding 10 ArtWalk - Brandon Goding 8 ArtWalk - Brandon Goding 6 ArtWalk - Brandon Goding 3 ArtWalk - Brandon Goding 2Clearly, my photography is no where near as good as Brandon’s (which I say with full acceptance of my point & click method using my iPhone – and getting lots of glare in the process), but the pictures here will give you a sense of this young man’s skill.

Brandon says, “I’m a hobby photographer who enjoys shooting nature and floral scenes. I travel around the state in my spare time on my motorcycles looking for neat places to take photographs.”

Please come in and meet Brandon during our next ArtWalk, Friday, July 29 from 5:00-8:00pm!  If you can’t make it on Friday the 29th, you can still view his work beginning right now and for the next couple of weeks.

As always, our featured artist’s work is on sale, with 100% of the proceeds going to that artist!

SOLD! Amazing WWII Era Scrapbook from Boothbay Harbor ME

Posted on July 17, 2016 by lindasnyder

Scrapbook Cover Scrapbook 5 Scrapbook 16 Scrapbook 8

This was originally a book about the Buick Motor Company titled “The Factory Behind The Car”, but over 70 years ago, an avid Maine news junkie by the name of Gertrude L. McKown, of McKown Hill in Boothbay Harbor, turned it into a scrap book, which includes newspaper clippings and other articles and information pieces from about 1940-1946.

Every single page – from the very first to the last – of the original book is covered with a clipping, chronicling events such as weddings, funerals, local catastrophes, ships launched in the local area (including YMS 104 and 106, mine sweepers), horse race info, and world news items in general as well as items of local interest.  Included are some cartoons, ads, poems and clippings on war heroes.  Some of the original book can be seen between the clippings.

The book also includes a typed letter to Mrs. O. M. McKown thanking her for her help in launching the YMS 104 built by Frank L. Sample Jr., Inc., Yachts and Vessels of Boothbay.

This is not only a fascinating, important historical document of the times in Maine during WWII; it is a wonderful insight into the interests of Ms. McKown.

See more pictures below.

Condition:  The binding is in pretty rough shape, but the contents are in 100% superb condition.

Dimensions:  8 1/2″H x 11″W x 1″D

Price:  $95.00.  Maine State Sales Tax of 5.5% applies.

Layaway Plan:  Please see our “Details: Layaway Plan” page.

Payment Information:   Please see our “Details: Payment & Pricing” page.

Shipping & Delivery Information:  Please see our “Details: Shipping & Delivery” page.

Heritage Collectibles and Heritage Books & Maps are being combined into one shop: Heritage Collectibles, Books & Maps, located at 189 Main Street in Lewiston.  We’ll still have two separate blogs: https://heritagecollectiblesmaine.com and https://heritagebooksandmaps.com.

This 1960s-70s era gold-veined wall mirror with ornate, brass-toned frame is in marvelous shape, and is reminiscent of orange shag carpeting and swag lamps!
