Yee-haw! It was a great day of thrifting in Indy.  Check out these great finds from the Goodwill Outlet.  Can you tell which of the items below are vintage?

The barn is from 1967 and the two nursery playsets are from 1972. Surprisingly, the teaching clock, which looks quite vintage, turned out to be from 2009 (though the design was originally produced in 1962).

Above – silver or silver plate?  After searching for a long while to find magnets to test to see if the metal was magnetic (I ended up finding several – see below), I went ahead and splurged on these heavier items. It may or may not turn out to be a good investment.  The fact that magnets didn’t stick to any of these items means that they could be silver…or they could be just be silver plated.

Below – magnets + Rainbow Brite books.

More vintage books.  Care to wager a bet on which ones are old and which ones are newer?

 

The one in the lower left looks old, but was published in 1980 (“My Favorite Book”), and the Little Red Hen was published in 1981.  “Tell me about the Bible” (upper right) was published in 1957; and “365 Bedtime stories” was published in 1955.  My favorite one in the bunch is the Space Ghost: Scorceress of Cyba-3 book from 1968.
