New Items New Store Front

Blue Duck Antique & Thrift
129 W McKey St.
Ocoee Fl. 34761

Slow rainy day, but still getting lots of new items also I got rid of the rusty sign holder and put in some hanging flowers.


New Items: Sheet Music Got about 100 of them from 1900 to 1960 The Etude magazine has been around since 1883 and its got some cool ads in in. Not terribly expensive I have these on consignment and will be listing them in bulk on Ebay. Ebay Id: Blueduckthriftshop

Bought these today, about 50 Disney pins, The Jiminey Cricket Trainer pin sells for a lot because the Disney Company gives employees a real hard time if they lose it and need to replace it. Also came with a employee pass for a president Obama speech at Disney and that will definitely will be on Ebay.


 Got a box of 45s haven't gone threw them yet, but look forward to it.

129 W McKey St.
Ocoee Fl. 34761
Tue - Sat 10:30 - 7:00 Pm

Got quite a bit of new stuff over the weekend, mostly small stuff a lot of computer parts. Here are a couple project items that I ran into.

Sanyo Mini Fridge - Donation


The Sanyo 4912 Mini Fridge 31x21x21 is the ideal refrigerator for making a kegerator - just an FYI here is video on how to do it.



Got this inlaid metal bicycle piece that weighs a ton, it was pretty scraped up when I got it, I paid two dollars hoping I could touch it up. Ended up scraping off all the gray background. Ended up looking pretty good. I'll definitely get more than what I paid for it.
 Before:
After: I'd like to scrape off under the lead cyclist chin, might still do that even though it isn't the same material. WIP



 Also came across some african antelope skin drums,  an antique candle holder from the the hotel plaza - and a few old lufkin rulers - The older lufkin and stanley rulers sell for about 10 dollars a piece on Ebay but they are pretty hard to find. More pictures next week.
