What A Rare Find ! Jack And The Beanstalk Pattern Dishes

What A Great Rare Find ! Jack And The Beanstalk Pattern Dishes

I absolutely love going to estate sales, sometimes I can do a little research on some of the items coming up for auction before I get to the sale. Most of the time I buy on instinct this was one of those sales. Recently I attended a estate liquidation about 7 miles from my home.

In the early 1980's two sister that had been collecting a great deal of things over the years, decided to open a small Museum to display the many rare items that they had spent many years collecting. They opened the museum to the public. A couple years ago one sister passed away and recently the second sister passed, the whole estate including the Museum had to be sold.

I walked in to the Museum that day to check out all the items coming up on the auction block, because I like to have a list ahead of what I plan to bid on. In the corner displayed neatly on shelves this set of dishes just caught my eye. I had never seen such an amazing pattern and I did not recognize the mark on on the bottom, but do you know how, you just get that feeling, or call it a instinct, that there is just something very special about an item you find. Well I had to have them.

Not a lot of information is available about the maker L Batlin & Son Inc. But I did find out that they produced some really unique patterns in the 1930's - 1940's. The Jack In The Beanstalk Pattern being there most sought after highly collectible pattern. I just thought they were the most adorable and spectacular dishes I had ever come across in the last 15 years of going to auctions.

Here are a few pieces that I have on eBay

Look at the great Cookie Jar, it has jack sitting on top holding a cookie, the lid has been repaired, but hey, it is still great for display.

I Really Love Old Bottles !!! Do You ?

For many years, I have had this fascination with collecting old bottles. You know I can't even tell you why I even like collecting old bottles. I guess I just love any piece of history. Some of the bottles in my collection I have bought from estate sales or yard sales, but the best thing is when you find that old bottle either in the ground or at a old dump sites. What a thrill when a great old bottle is unearthed, especially when it is great condition. Right now my collection includes old medicine bottles, old soda bottles, old milk bottles, old canning jars and old wine and beer bottles. My collection is always displayed as part of my vintage kitchen decor. I am letting a few bottles in my collection go, so up for auction is this small blue tinted bottle by Major's of New York. It is a old Rubber Cement bottle in good condition with only one very tiny chip on the bottom edge.
