Fab Friday Finds – Working on the Railroad

Remember my Brimfield Adventure?

Well, I spotted these beauties there.

Vintage railroad steps …

to help the well heeled traveler step onto and off of the train …

probably while carrying a small dog and a hat box.

Don’t you just love it when you spot something fabulous …

and overpriced …

then realize that you already have one of your very own!

Found this beauty at an estate sale for $15!

Guess wheat they’re selling for on Ebay?

Between $250 – $550!

Now mine isn’t all fancy with the name of the railroad embossed on it or a cute little brass sign.

So should I do what the great railroad barons would do?

Make a smart business decision and turn a quick profit.

Or do what a hoarder, I mean vintage loving gal, would do?

Keep it and laugh uproariously when I realize what other people are willing to pay for it!

  1. Such an awesome find!!! I LOVE THE COLOR…it couldn’t be more fabulous in any way! WOW $250 on ebay…see…you never know right! Fun seeing them all though…thanks for sharing and sending you a Jersey girl hug…

  2. I’d do the best of both worlds…. list it online at a price you’d be happy with… and then live with and LOVE it until it sells. Don’t accept less than you’d be willing to peacefully part with it for. Then if it doesn’t sell… oh well… and if it does, you can use that money to buy MORE stuff!

  3. Oh my goodness….I would soooo love one of these treasures. Lucky you. Love your blog…just came to visit from The Cottage Market…junkin joes link up…so very glad I did. I will be on the look out now for one of these.. happy weekend.

  4. I’ve never seen a railroad stool like this before but I must say I love them and now I want one. But, I definitely want one at the price you found yours! Thanks for sharing!

  5. I really have to say Dana had a great idea. List it. Should it sell at an outlandish price, you have money to go treasure hunting with. In the meanwhile, live with it, create with it, love it, and even brag a little.

  6. I don’t know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else
    encountering issues with your blog. It seems like some of the written text within your posts are running off the screen.
    Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them
    as well? This might be a issue with my browser because I’ve had this happen previously. Many thanks
