So I collect Watkins products antiques, I've gotten some really neat stuff, but this time I felt like I hit the jackpot!!! (I also have a feeling dad would've been proud of me!!) Here's some of my collection and new stuff:
Most of this is from my past trips, however, the mortar and pestle and 3 of the tin cans are from this go around. The bottle on the top left is a Wrights Liquid Smoke, that is the only thing that's not a Watkins product up there. I have it because my best friends name is Wright.
If you can see that paper in the back behind the bottle, well that is an old Watkins Cookbook!
Below.....
These 3 beauties I am very happy about!!! A very VERY good find...
Left: A 1917, its an 50th Anniversary Watkins Almanac; Home Doctor and Cookbook!
Middle: A 1922, Watkins Almanac; Home Doctor and Cookbook
Right: This doesn't seem to have a date nor a publishing date, however this is the first time I've seen a Watkins Timely Suggestions book. It has tested recipes, secrets of beauty, home doctor, helps for the housewife, hints on the care of the car and many other miscellaneous information.
So I didn't get everything Watkins. I for sure couldn't pass this up:
4th in the Litter is going to love these! I have plans on scanning them, load them to my photo shop, blow them up and put them in 4th in the Litter's room.
So this is a large crock! Haha! No really! It is!! I've always wanted one of these, mainly when the Litter was younger so I could put their toys in guess I will use it for Ulu's toys. I got a heck of a deal on this; and that's no crock!! Before I saw this one there were 2 that was 1/2 this size which had prices of $80 and $85. I got this large baby for $29.00 with 20% off that!!!!! AND it doesn't have a crack in it!! Granted its probably not as old as those others are but I still feel like it was a good deal!
Well, its almost 11:00 and I'm usually in bed by now...what can I say, guess I'm getting old.
I wanted to add more of my Watkins product collections but that will be another day!!
Hope ya'll enjoyed looking at my good finds!
