A Weekend of Antique Malls: Day One

My husband and I finally bought a house in Texas and needed a few furniture pieces for a few rooms. It was a typical sunny day in Texas, and we decided to go antique shopping. Antique malls are interesting in that they can have some very beautiful furniture, or items of interest, but then there are the unusual, to put it nicely. These are items that you wonder not only who would buy them, but who is the person selling them.

There was so much in this booth it was hard to see everything. I am not sure why it is in an antique mall.

I am not sure what you could possibly put in this display case that would stand out more than the case . Maybe a tiara collection?

Besides it being creepy, there is something wrong with using an animal you killed with a gun, and have it be your gun rack. Once again why is this in an antique mall?

Carrier Eagle? Not sure what is written on the paper between its legs, but I hope it is some kind of justification for the $8000 price tag.

Is Morris, Morse`s forgotten brother? Is that why the practice key was named after him?    -- --- .-. ... . / -.-. --- -.. .

I wish I would have kept this same picture I bought from Kohls in the late 1990s. I am sure it would not have been worth twice what I paid for it.  Not an antique.

Really, Chief Watta Pop? This is so politically incorrect that it has to be an antique.

I am just not sure what this is about. Do people go out looking for broken, damaged mannequin legs and arms? OY!

Who designs these items? Better yet, who buys these items. I have never seen the need for a torso magazine basket on legs. It may become an antique while waiting for someone to buy it.

We did not buy anything on this Saturday trip, but we sure had fun looking. Stay tuned for Sundays shopping trip.
