High Bidder: Me

Astronaut painting: Vintage portrait of the Apollo 11 astronauts upon their return. Seller claimed "prison art" but I think it made a good story as she was from Ossining, NY. This is my all-time favorite and best eBay win. Proxy bidding worked for me. I put in a bid almost ten times what I ended up paying. WWII Trench Art: Someone stuck four bars of GI issue soap together and carved this beautiful cave, brought it home, 60 years later it ended up on eBay and I had to get it. Kids chairs: Very similar to these, no one was bidding and I could pick them up — so why not bid? Dutch coat hooks and vintage fabric: vintage rack designed by Coen de Vries came from the Netherlands. I had been looking at his bigger wall units and found these. All steel, really nicely made. From the yardage of this sort-of cute kids fabric, my wife made some bloomers for our daughter. Kitchen set and molecular model: Vintage Community Playthings kitchen (sink, oven, fridge) in super condition. Solid maple and a bargain at twice the price. The model is a vintage Sargent and Co. molecular model.
