Celebrating Valentine’s Day With Romantic Antiques

By Deanna Posted on February 11, 2014 Posted in Articles, For Sale

Along with our booth space at Exit 55 Antiques we have a shelf in one of the cases near the wrap desk. For the holiday, we filled it with vintage valentines, antique candy boxes, vintage cameras, and a few other bits and bobs…

Here are two of the antique mechanical valentines in action!

We also have some old valentines for sale in our Etsy shop.

You can look at, and learn more about, these and other antique and vintage Valentines we’ve shared here, here, here, and here.

How Now, Old Brown Milk Bottles

By Deanna Posted on November 23, 2013 Posted in For Sale

Just some of the old brown glass milk bottles we have available for sale.

Like beer bottles, these bottles were made of brown or amber glass to protect the contents from the deterioration of sunlight.

Glass milk bottles are not too common; and these amber ones are even more rare. They have neat old dairy advertising too.

Currently, the collection of these (and many other glass bottles) is at Antiques On Broadway.

Window Of Opportunity

By Deanna Posted on June 13, 2013 Posted in For Sale

We’ve taken additional space at Antiques On Broadway (Fargo, ND): the big storefront window! Right now we’re showing off some lovely primitive antiques — perfect for the garden, mancave, and your rustic rooms. Taking photos of the outside of such large glass windows is more difficult than I thought! But here’s on scene from the street, featuring an antique cultivator, lots of old galvanized things to plant in, a collection of vintage soda pop bottles, and a enameled vegetable draw from a refrigerator which makes a very cool planter.

And here’s a section of the window as it appears from the inside, when you are near the sales counter. In this photo you can clearly see the antique
Heinrich beer crate, the old Pepsi bottle cap crate, vintage Ford truck hubcaps, and a few other assorted rustic (and rusty) pieces, such as vintage bike wheels and spigots.

Baby Blue Vintage Princess Phones

By Deanna Posted on December 9, 2012 Posted in For Sale

When I was a kid, I used a Bell Telephone key chain just like as a phone for my Barbie dolls. Then at least someone in the house had their own pretty Princess telephone to use!

This powder blue plastic vintage advertising piece is on our case at Antiques On Broadway; just $9.

And here’s a photo of Ann-Margret, illustrating every young lady’s dreams of her own Princess phone in her room for private calls.

Vintage Flavoring Bottle

By Deanna Posted on August 27, 2012 Posted in Articles, For Sale

If you’re a collector of items or advertising from Minnesota companies, check out the vintage glass bottle of Gold Cross liquid “concentrated beverage base” in “imitation strawberry” flavoring currently in our case at Exit 55 Antiques. The syrup was made by Brechet & Richter Company of Minneapolis, Minnesota; here’s the article I wrote about the company and the bottle.
