For any questions you have, please contact me {Craig Rusbult} directly [not thru yelp.com] by email{craigru57-att-yahoooo-daut-caum} or phone {zzzzz} – it's a landline so is only for talking or voicemail, not texting} / also: Throughout the process of “clearing the house” one of my main goals has been to "give away more and throw away less," as explained in my homepage for giving-away.
Here are some technical details that are optional — and you'll probably want to skip to the TABLE OF CONTENTS— but in case it might be useful,... I've made two pages for you. Both pages have the same content, the same photos-and-words. They differ only in the resolution (and thus the file size) of the photos.
This page has photos with lower resolution, because the width & height of each photo has been cut in half. This will be useful IF you want faster loading or (more likely) IF you have a cellular plan with limited data.
Another page has full-resolution photos (without the “cutting in half”) if you have unlimited data, and you want to see the details more clearly when you do a close-up viewing.
Or you can see any individual photo with its full resolution if you... 1) right-click on a photo to see its file-name, and 2) go to this folder and double-click on the photo that has the same name but without a "z" at its end. For example, the third photo (showing lots of items on a table) is whole.JPG and whole.JPG is the full-resolution original. {but near the end of this page all photos are the lower half-resolution}
Sewing Machine & Cabinet – Large Items – Antique Desk – Wide Variety of Antiques – Variety of Antiques – Jewelry – memorabilia (Olympics, Presidents, Royalty, Stray Cats, Angels, Mickey, Kobe, Seattle 79) – Tools, Dolls, Baskets, Jars – Books – Pictures in Frames – Large Items (Part 2, details).
| ANTIQUE DESK (41" x 20" and 30" high) {made from high-quality wood that's beautiful, and with some work it could become more beautiful} {the local estate expert also said this kind of desk [in its current condition, "needing some work"] typically would sell for $150-250, although of course your own experts will decide what you think it's worth.} | ||

|
|
|
| crystal glassware (only the glass on right, in a set of 6) with “frost etched” patterns { I know this isn't the name, but it reminds me of the frost on windows in Iowa where we grew up, and Wisconsin } | 9 plastic mini-trays with birds (6) and paintings of medieval scenes (3), | |
|
|
|
| silver "railroad" pocket watch with fob and magnifier, | ||

|
|
|
|
| silverware (regular & small), TINS (Ritz, CocaCola, tobacco), candle holders | PLACE MATS (plastic) | |
|
|
|
| silverware (it's tarnished, and if some is solid silver, not just silver-plated, this would have guaranteed high value just for its metal content), small fancy silverware, TINS (Ritz, CocaCola, tobacco), candle holders that can hang on wall (here it's hanging from chair) or flat, | ||
| JEWELRY — I.O.U. (soon, maybe late-afternoon August 25, I'll separate a large amount of jewelry - mostly low-value but probably also some higher-value items – and will post photos of it) | ||
| MEMORABILIA {a wide variety, some more interesting-and-valuable than others} | ||
| OLYMPICS (1972/84/96) and PRESIDENTS (Ike & Jimmy; cup is Nixon with Elvis, Prez with King), old Blue Chip Stamps, | Struttin' STRAY CATS and ROYALTY with Silver Jubilee Family Tree, and the classy beginning for C & D followed by a baby book (with kinky cover, although tame inside) before their rough ending, | |
|
|
|
| T-SHIRTS — Mickey, Captain, Kobe; also two on left from Seattle 1979, where two big holiday festivals began the summer (Folklife in late May) and ended it (Bumbershoot in early September) and where our Supersonics won the NBA in 1979 after losing in 1978 Finals to Washington Bullets whose coach used "it isn't over till the fat lady sings" as a slogan. | ANGELS – two souveniers from 1989 All Star Game, hat (maybe ealier version?); also old tools (probably used on farm) and old fan, plus Braves jersey, and recently (after taking photo) I found an unopened box for a bobblehead doll of hall-of-famer Nolan Ryan, although it's from Texas Rangers not California Angels. | |
|
|
|
| STAMP from ISRAEL – commemorating a "Rescue of Danish Jews" in 1943, {a check of eBay shows this seems to have minimal monetary value [although ours says "Limited Edition, 17 of 10,000"] but maybe it will have some emotional value for someone} | ||
|
|
|
| TOOLS {as you know, an old tool will have value IF someone thinks "it's cool" and wants it} {fwiw, on eBay the Clairol "Kindness 20" kits are being offered for $40-$60 | BASKETS above old cabinet with drawers | |
|
|
|
| DOLLS | JARS {plus rackets} | |
|
|
|
| BOOKS — These have wide variety, most are fairly old. {originally I was planning to systematically go thru each book and put a card with copyright/printing date, but I didn't do it} | ||
| HARD-BACKS | COOK BOOKS (from Iowa & Betty), and many kinds of BOOKLETS, ... | |
|
|
|
| SPECIAL ("Official Pictures" are from World's Fair in Chicago, 1933-34) ("My Fair Lady" is from Chicago in late-1950s, was attended during a “senior field trip” co-chaperoned by my father while he was principal of their school in Iowa) | SACRED SONGBOOKS -- and there are two other “sacred music” books in the section for hardback books. | |
