Saturday's Vintage Finds 5.13.2017

I went to several garage sales and about 2 hours of an auction last weekend.  I didn't bring home a ton, but I am trying to be particular.  Is it a great deal?  Will it sell for sure?  Will I make money?  Is it a project piece (the scourge of my life). Here are the highlights:

 Favorite first.  Italian sconce with porcelain flowers.

Paid $4, sold for $42 on ebay.

 Wooden foot locker.

Needs cleaning and maybe a couple of side handles.

Purchased for $4, sold for $34.

 Insulated metal box.

We speculated if it was an early ice chest...

 Then I read the residual tag on top.

It was used to ship baby fish.  How interesting!

And an eastlake victorian doorknob.

They always do well on ebay.
