Vintage Advertising Signs

New Booths for Vintage Signs and Collectibles: Crafting History has two booths at Traderbakers Flea Market in Martinsville right next to McDonald's. We are booth # 332 located in aisle 6 and in aisle 7. These 12x8' booths have walls and floors filled with vintage and antique advertising, old crates, rustic tools, collectibles, and some fashionable antiques.  These items come and go quickly and I will try to get updates on the blog and on facebook on a regular basis.  As of July 10th Crafting History has added  a Vintage Sieberling Tire Sign for $375 from the 1940's.  We have a great 4' x 3' Coke Sign vintage from $250.  We have a wonderful cherry settee with rose damask upholstery in aisle 7 and it is only $125.   Lovely piece.

I want to invite everyone in Indiana to come to Martinsville to Traderbakers Flea Market. We have signs of every size and shape, price and time period.  Some collectors love to keep up with us on a regular basis and see what we bring in each week or so.  I have at least one gentleman who has purchased 4-5 signs from us since the beginning of May.  I will try to feature some pics from both booths.




 New:  July 1, 2012 -- Crafting History has a new booth at Traderbakers Flea Market in Washington, Indiana located on old business 50 in the Jay C Grocery plaza only 1 mile west of the I-69 interchange construction.  We are booth #332 in aisle 1 at the back of the store behind the check out.  It has different items from Martinsville, but we do have quite a few advertising pieces, rustic items, old pics, chairs, toys, tools, and more.

Twin Bed Frame

Twin Bed Frame Headboard, Footboard, metal Rails, and wooden supports. Vintage 1975.

Victorian Washstand

Vintage Piece: Victorian Washstand. Although not extraordinary, it is a cute piece. It is probably a reproduction from the 1950's. It is complete with original porcelain bowl. The bowl is very worn and has some cracks. I am seeking a replacement and will sell the stand with both the original and the new (old) one. It has a place to place towels or a plant on a lower shelf. Mirror is adjustable. It also has two wooden candle holders and two delicate towel racks.  It is 54" h x 23" wide
Very nice addition to a large bathroom or bedroom.

Settee - Vintage upholstered Bench Seat

Vintage settee upholstered bench seat. Beautiful wood frame with dark rose colored upholstered seat. Measures 47" long x 22" wide. It would be a wonderful addition to a bedroom or sitting area. $85 obo

Vintage Porcelain Table with Treadle Base

Unique Vintage 1930 Porcelain Table Top - Decorative Black Design on Grey with black trim. Once had its own table legs, now is setting atop a black iron sewing machine treadle. Great for using on decks, patio or add this extraordinary piece to your family entertainment area.  Table measures 40 x 25 " with 28" H Black Iron Treadle Stand. Pieces are presently separate but can be easily made to be secured together permanently by adding a couple of pieces of wood, drill some holes and add screws. Will do it for you if you purchase at full asking price: $200

All wood - maple dresser - smooth finish 8-drawers with adjustable mirror. The piece is vintage 1940 and was originally part of a bedroom suite which included two twin beds and a night stand.
