Collectible Hotel Statler Matchstand Ashtray

Remember when every home and place of business had ashtrays of one kind or another sitting around?

With the demise of smoking, ashtrays and advertising tobacciana items are rarely being made any more and they will, one day soon, become a hot collectible. Add to or start your collection today.

EX-SMOKERS, HOLD ON TO YOUR SMOKING COLLECTIBLES
When you quit smoking, keep your tobacciana collectibles. Tobacco stands without the top parts are good plant stands. Cigarette cases are popular as small purses that will hold a credit card, driver's license and a little money.

Tobacco tins and boxes are interesting storage containers, and the box labels and cigar bands work well for decoupage projects. Best of all, ashtrays can be used to hold short stemmed flowers or kept in the bedroom to hold earrings and rings overnight.

A very classy Hotel Statler Ashtray

If you are a collector, visit Supergrannys Treasures. I have been a collector for many decades and I just must dispose of my collection.

If you see several you are interested in...send me an omail with your choices and I will do my best to give you a super bargain.

Remember buy vintage...these will never be made again....

Happy New Year....

2010 is just about a week away... and that means Resolutions.
What do you resolve to do (or quit doing) in the year 2010?

Resolve to be tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic with the striving,
and tolerant with the weak and wrong...
because sometime in your life
you will have been all of these.

A Quick Twitter Lesson Using the Share Feature at OnlineAuction.com

Here is a quick 'Twitter for Dummies' lesson, and how to use it with OLA "Share" Feature:

1. Sign up for an account at TWITTER (takes no more than 5 minutes)
2. Go to any of your listings (do them all one at a time)
3. Hover your mouse over 'Share' (don't click 'share', or you'll have to search for Twitter, whereas it will be right there in the window if you just hover)
4. Click on Twitter (a window will open and it will be your Twitter account)
5. Click on "Update" (in the Twitter window)
6. Go back to your listing and refresh (be sure to look at how many views you have before you refresh)
7. Check out the views from just one Tweet!!! Those are actual views. Everyone single one means someone clicked on your link in Twitter and it brought them to your listing.

A WORD TO THE WISE: It is easy to get caught up in this form of advertising. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you only do a few at a time or you will be flagged for spamming. Yes, you are allowed to 'spam', but getting carried away is what you are not allowed to do.

SOME EXTRA INFO: You can do this for other OLA members! Every listing here at OLA has the "Share" feature. It works just like described above. So if you see a Hot Deal that one of your friends or colleague is offering, do them a favor and Tweet them too! Remember, each of us has a different set of followers... so spread the Tweets around... but don't get carried away!!! A few at a time... whether they're your listings or someone elses!!!

FB Rogers Silverplate Salad Serving Set Spoon and Fork



This FB Rogers salad set is vintage.
The FB Rogers mark is clearly visible on
the back of each utensil.
The mark reads,
FB ROGERS ITALY.
There is no sterling mark,
which leads me to believe this salad set is silverplate.

It is in a simple, plain pattern,
with only a double scallop on the back of each utensil.

Excellent pre-owned condition,
with no scratches or dents.

Both the fork and the spoon measure
9 1/4 inches long
and 1 7/8 inches at the widest point.
Together, they weigh just over 4 ounces.




Click here for details on how
you can own this beautiful vintage set!

Nor’Easter Videos – A Personal Experience

Northeaster Storm or the Nor’ Easter.
What a mess and this is our personal experience. It always seems like the worst things happen when you are asleep.
I shot these very unprofessional video clips to chronicle specifically for this blog. Then life got in the way and I forgot. Till we got hit with another storm! And, another flood. Not the same kind of storm but unrelenting rains on an already saturated ground.
We are in a low area. We can do high tides on their own and we can handle ground saturation in a stand-alone situation. When we get both at the same time, forget it, it’s all over and the basement will flood. :(
This is a four-part video show.
Part One is of the heavy rains and standing water.




Part Two is of the 4 inches of water that arrived in the basement and a clip of the high water from the river covering the road into our neighborhood, making it impassible.

Christmas Poem For OnlineAuction.com

ONLINEAUCTION.COM

Oh the joy of Christmas
Not a single parent awake
Little ones get out of bed
In waiting for presents to take
Not wanting to wait, they shake the boxes
Eating small candies stuck in their stockings
Amazed at all the stuff under the tree
Unknowing that OnlineAuction.com where parents went shopping
Christmas made better
Twenty-four seven
In the minds of shoppers
OnlineAuction.com is Heaven
Never a Final Value
Don’t worry about listing fees
OnlineAuction.com is here
To make shopping a breeze
Come see us today, you’ll like what you see
OnlineAuction.com is definitely the place to be
Merry Christmas!
