Introduction

In today's thrift haul, I want to share with you some of the vintage treasures I found at the Goodwill store. While the pickings were slim, I managed to stumble upon some unique and interesting items that I'm excited to show you. From a vintage Japan spice rack to a beautiful chain frame picture, join me as I delve into the details of each find and discuss their potential resale value. So let's dive in and explore the world of vintage collectibles!

2. Vintage Japan Spice Rack

The first item I came across was a vintage Japan spice rack. Though I'm not entirely sure if it was intended to be a spice rack, it caught my eye with its charming design. This piece is marked as vintage, and while the original jars are no longer present, it could serve as an adorable sponge holder for the kitchen sink. Despite some crazing and dirt, I believe this can be cleaned up and sold for around $15. The pink color, a current favorite among vintage enthusiasts, adds to its appeal. While I'm tempted to keep it for myself, I'll be adding it to my Etsy shop, hoping it finds a loving home.

3. Vintage Libby Juice Glasses

In the glassware section, I stumbled upon a set of vintage Libby juice glasses. These glasses feature a unique wheat pattern, with a minimal and elegant design. Though I couldn't find an exact match for this pattern, I believe it's quite distinctive. I purchased four glasses for a total of $1.60 and plan to sell them for around $35, offering free shipping. With their timeless appeal, they are sure to be a hit with vintage collectors.

4. Vintage Junko Syrup Dispenser

Next on my list is a vintage Junko syrup dispenser. This delightful piece, adorned in a lovely rose pink color, can also be used as a sugar or creamer dispenser. With its intricate design and neat pouring spout, I'm confident it will find a buyer at a price of around $15, plus free shipping. Its rarity and the fact that I had difficulty finding information on it suggest that it may be a coveted item.

5. Vintage Recipe Box

One of my cutest finds of the day was a vintage recipe box from 1982. This charming piece displays a farmhouse scene with sheep, hand-painted by an artist named Nina. With a price tag of $1.60, I believe I can sell it for around $10 to $12, with shipping cost not included. The box is in good shape overall and will surely appeal to farmhouse and vintage enthusiasts alike.

6. Nap Koware Candle Holders

I stumbled upon a pair of exquisite Nap Koware candle holders that left me awe-struck. These colonial-inspired figurines represent a boy playing the drum and a girl holding the 13-star colonial flag, also known as the Betsy Ross flag. With their detailed craftsmanship and impeccable condition, I believe these candle holders hold great value. I acquired them for $3.20 and anticipate selling them for around $35 to $40, plus shipping fees. While tempted to keep them for myself, I hope these exceptional pieces find a deserving home.

7. Vintage Bar Measuring Glass

Venturing into the glassware section again, I discovered a vintage bar measuring glass. This unique item features recipes for various drinks and a ruler to measure the desired quantity. Although I'm not much of a drinker, this stylish piece made me consider setting up a vintage bar display. Priced at just $0.80, I believe it can be resold for around $10 to $12, attracting mixology enthusiasts and collectors alike.

8. Vintage Chain Frame Picture

One of the most captivating items I found was a vintage chain frame picture. This frame, with its intricate design and black writing detailing, caught my eye immediately. Priced at $1.60, it offers tremendous potential for resale. I estimate selling it for around $30 to $35, including shipping. The picture depicts a mother and daughter, invoking a sense of warmth and tranquility. Its timeless charm will surely complement any decor style.

9. Vintage Tensor Lamp

Curious about the lamp aisle, inspired by the "Crazy Lamp Lady" YouTube channel, I stumbled upon a vintage mid-century tensor lamp. Made in the USA, this lamp features a unique brown color that adds a touch of elegance. While I paid $1.60 for it, I believe I can resell it for around $50, plus shipping. Its gold accents and sleek design make it an appealing choice for those looking to add a vintage touch to their spaces.

10. Vintage Berman Lamp

The last lamp that caught my attention is a stunning vintage Berman lamp. With its crackled glass center and intricate design, this lamp exudes elegance. Though the material is not brass, it is still a substantial piece. Although my search yielded few results, I believe this lamp holds value and uniqueness. If I decide to resell it, I estimate a price range of $30 to $35, inclusive of shipping. However, I may just keep it for myself as it perfectly matches my aesthetic.
