Wooohoo! great garage sale find!

[oblongmelon]

I am an avid garage saler-
and today I scored BIG TIME
I found two Fenton vases, hobnail glass cruets, and a covered sugar bowl for 1 dollar..
and the tray that goes under them for 50 cents.
I'm glad that people who have garage sales don't know the value of things or I'd not be very happy.

How much are these things really worth?

Fenton vases manufactured in the late 19th century vary in value depending on condition and design. If free of cracks or fading, a Charles Fenton vase can fetch over $2,500 in an antiques auction. Hobnail Glass Cruets are quite a rarity nowadays because the company went out of business when the Great Fire of 1908 in San Francisco erupted, it left the factory in rubble. Homnail Glass never recovered, and the few pieces that managed to be bought before the fire are now worth between $1000 and $1500.
