Our amazing vintage haul (picture heavy)

Good morning from BeaverCleaverville!!! This weekend was a flurry of activity. We had tons of our non vintage items leaving to make room for "new" vintage items coming in, we saw Godzilla in theaters "FINALLY" (according to the MIC), and the wham! I got hit with this nasty sinus infection. As some of you know from prior threads, I have been battling illness for some time with little to no illness, but fingers crossed we are getting closer to some real ones.
On Saturday we had an appointment to meet up with our new friend that has been cleaning his home out of vintage antiques. He had recently emailed us saying he had another lot that "we may be interested in". Needless to say after our last haul we didn't hesitate and off we went. We were NOT DISAPPOINTED!!!
BEHOLD:
First up :
 This cool steam humidifier is from the "Prak T Kal" corporation. (Swear to heaven I didn't make that name up) when we opened up THE ORIGINAL BOX, it still had the original warranty post card inside, think it's still good? Lol


next up:
 The General Electric vacuum cleaner. It has all it's original attachments and runs like new. When I started it up then engine sounds like it could run a jet!!


then we have:

 This entire box of gloves. Most were still in the original bag!!!



Next up:
This AMAZING women's mink hat! Putting aside my fur issue this women's winter hat was amazing! It came in its original hat box and was in pristine condition.


then we open this box:
 To find three pristine men's fedoras!!! Wowzers!!!
Continuing on
we then had:
This vintage picnic basket! I had been on the hunt for one of these for some 

time. We are often out all day thrifting on the weekends and I'd love to bring along drinks and homemade food!

next up:
This pristine carry all duffel luggage.

then:
These two percolators. Both in full working order!


next up:
This is a vintage outing bag. It comes with two hot/cold thermoses and a sandwich tray. You would use it when you didn't want to bring a huge basket with you.


next up:
 This pristine overnight train bag. Keys still attached.


 This was definitely the nicest of the three luggage pieces!!! It's 
compartmentalizing inside and also still has it's keys!!

next up:
FINALLY!!! I finally found my phone!! We plan on hooking it up this week!

Then:

This leather encased vintage Polaroid!! Pristine and still working!! Complete with flash annnnnd
 Full set of flash bulbs! Who remembers these? Not exactly functional ey?
finally these:
These amazing table lighters!! Silver and gorgeous! They aren't currently 

working but I'm hoping to find someone that knows how to get them back to working order!
so like I said this haul did NOT disappoint!!
hope you enjoy the photos!
