Estate Sales 6/25/2010!

[hooverwheelaway]

Pride weekend estate sales were good to us! That's two weeks in a row where we've walked away with some rather nice finds!

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Downy!

Robert was rather excited with these two!

 

[hooverwheelaway]

2 in a row!

I found this very same Eureka at a different estate sale last weekend.. I couldn't leave it behind... it can now keep it's sister company.

Best find of the day!

This delicious Lewyt that Gary sniffed out in the garage at one of the sales. Hiding in the corner, in its box. Minus a few tools, but I'll find those eventually. Yes, the wands are still wrapped in their original wax paper from the factory. In case it's not clear enough.

Put on your sunglasses!

Inside...

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Isn't she fabulous?

Top-half of the box

 

[hooverwheelaway]

A Sunbeam Dual-Deluxe. From the mid 60s, I believe.

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Then I found the tools, in the original tool carrier "purse" in the closet upstairs...

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Some other miscellaneous Sunbeam appliances. And a Rainbow RainMate air deodorizer, which is currently whirring away after we cleaned it out and put a few drops of vintage Downy in it.

That he's never seen the Sunbeam Saucepan...

Anyone else ever seen one? Would it technically be called a SauceMaster?

I'm hoping to come home from work tonight to a nice chili or stew cooking away...

Nice haul. That is original Fresh Start with 19% phosphorous and enzymes and...good stuff! I always thought it had sort of a lavender scent.

 

[mattl]

Nice finds. I have the same Sunbeam saucepan! Drag it out every other year or so for something.

 

[jetcone]

Never ever have I seen

A Saucemaster before nice findage there! What do you mean
"miscellaneous" Sunbeam appliances, those are Coffemasters mister and they make the best coffee!

I love those Lewyts, is that the roasting pan inside?? It looks unused.

Nice haul, Fred!

I like the Sunbeam electric saucepan. I've been using my GE electric saucepan fairly regularly.

Great finds!

Especially the sauce pan. I love the time table on the handle. Did it originally come with a recipe booklet?

 

[norgeway]

Dual Deluxe!

The Lewyt is probably the best find...but when you hook up that Dual Deluxe...look out,it and the Apex Strato are THE STRONGEST vacs ever...you wont believe it!

 

[autowasherfreak]

Nice haul y'all!

 

[tlee618]

Fred, it is just unreal!!!!! A new in the box Lewyt!!!! 2 Coffeemasters, how are the seals? A few years back Roger in Tucson found one of the Sunbeam saucepans. I think you are really going to like it!!!

Congratulations!!!!

Seems like the lucky horshoes are hiding at your house these days. Great finds each and everyone.

Thanks for the pics

Nice haul! Good to see "Made in the USA" on the side of the "Lewd" vac box. I'm guessing from the size of the cord receptacle on the Sunbeam Saucepan and the "helper handle" that it's the 5 quart model? The double wall construction of the saucepan was so different from that of the electric skillet and all of the other immersible electric saucepans. Two C30Cs are a rare find. Hope the plating inside the bowls is still good.

We are supposed to hit 99 today.
