I told you I would share the other things that I bought at the auction. At the end of the auction the auctioneer called for us to bring up things that we would pay $5.00 for. And then he asked who brought it up, you raised your hand and your bid started at $5.00. I got this vintage Monopoly game for $5.00, the tag on it states that it dates from 1951, it has the wooden pieces, money cards etc. As far as I can tell it is all intact. Some are selling on eBay for around $15.00. I wanted to start a little business selling some of my stuff on eBay, but I never have and David said a big no to this---so I guess I'll keep it.
This one of the plates I bought, it too was $5.00 ( with the stand included), it has a gorgeous thick gold rim. I bought two others for $5.00 each, one has an etched magnolia and the other has flowers too. Things ran a little high, normally I would have expected to pay $2.50 for each of them...but it's okay. I wanted them!!
Let me know what you all think. Did I do good?

Good finds! Too bad that isn't real money!
Oh my, just seeing that Cootie game takes me back to my wee childhood. I LOVED Cootie, and had I been at that auction (which I'm going to get to one of these days) I would have bought it for sure! If you want to sell it, let me know. Hope you are doing well--if we're this cold down here, can only imagine how cold it is up there!!! Chris
I've had fun reading through your blog! And I happen to have that very same Monopoly board and box set.
I love going to auctions when we are back visiting in WI. You got some great deals.
I'll be back for sure!
