SHOPPING ANTIQUE BACK ROADS | VINTAGE RESELLING DISCOVERIES

THRIFTS, FLEAS & VINTAGE FINDS I TRAVEL KENTUCKY

A reseller frenzy on a rainy Tuesday morning? That’s the surprise at the end of a long Kentucky back road, where a small rural town offers an antique, vintage and reseller community spun off from the venerable Luke’s Town & Country Flea Market.

A Civil War era road takes us past tobacco barns, giant animals and small towns, not far from where both Lincoln and Davis (and yes, the Everly Brothers) heralded. Arriving in Greenville, we shop a few folks braving the suddenly stormy weather at the outdoor market, and find some good fresh buys on a mic, a maxim and the real McCoy at an indoor shed. The dealer flashes me prices as I pile them by my newly acquired camel seat.

Fortunately, Greenville boasts a handful of antique shops, vendor malls, and thrift stores, more than we can even shop in a morning! We discover cool collectibles and some special items in each, and into my van go architectural pieces, a signboard, Krome-Kraft and Alexandrite glass and more reseller picks.

There’s a ton more that’s fun to see that was left behind. When does a lamp use mineral oil? How does a dresser turn into a bed? Are those underpants a future collectible? See for yourself! This day turned from a rainout into a fun antiquing and vintage reselling pursuit.

Here are some more of the items we see along the way in this tour:

Quilt tops, 1950s modernist cat plaques, railroad lantern, cast iron teapot, Hull pottery, fire hose/reel, signs, 1910s Friar pitcher, Blendo beverage set, K-Nex display, Hall glove mold, Fenton cruets, rusty bed springs, enamel burner, aggregate benches, Victorian painted mantel, Lucite pedestal, cranberry glass, reproduction black memorabilia and Little Red Riding Hood ceramics, applied fruit art glass, formica and enameled kitchen tables, water skis, Young’s Treasures of the Heart, Royal Colonial Homestead dinnerware, King’s Crown, Cathy cookie jar, Japanese spice box sets, beauty parlor chair, Viking Epic, Full House characters, Mr. Peanut, Akro Agate, coins, advertising signs, etc.
