Vintage Service Station Automobilia Advertising Metal Tool Cabinets
If you like automobilia, if you’re looking for some cool vintage advertising for your man cave, take a look at these vintage metal auto part storage boxes. Original metal wall-mounted tool cabinets which once hung in Sahr’s gas and service station in downtown Fargo, North Dakota, these were pretty stinkin’ dirty. This is them after…

Mid-Century Modern Metal Rolling Cart Revamps
We salvaged a number of vintage metal rolling carts, also known as kitchen carts, utility carts, bar carts, etc. And by “salvaging” I mean they were in atrocious conditions… Rusting, covered in funky old contact paper, missing the rolling wheels, etc., they sure were “fixer uppers” for junkers like us. But, after lots of elbow…

Westward Ho! Antique & Vintage Western Americana
Whoa, Nellie, did we bring in the Western Americana to our space at Exit 55 Antiques! You might recognize the antique burlap feed and seed sacks from this post on how to clean them. (They turned out super, don’t you think?) The old horse bits and antique curry comb were more deaccessioned items from the…

Have Yourself A Kitschy Little Christmas!
We’ve been trying to keep our space at Exit 55 Antiques (Fergus Falls, MN) full of Christmas items — but they are selling so fast! Yes, the vintage reindeer are practically flying out of the shop, but we do have a pair of the vintage or retro plush reindeer stuffed with sawdust. And there are…

A Rare Antique Folk Art Find: A Family Tree Made Of Tintypes
A few weeks ago, my husband & I attended an auction at the Cass Country Historical Society.

On one trailer full of guns & ammo, I…

Film Cameras On Sale
