An afternoon Sonic "Happy Hour" run for a Cherry Limeade netted me these awesome items from an unassuming yard sale at a 20something's yard sale in the uppity part of town. It just goes to show, you just never know what you will find.....or where!
1970's Fisher Price Sesame Street Play Town - $1.00.
1970's Fisher Price Corn Popper Toy, 1972 Bambi Big Golden Book and a fun old doll for 50¢ each.
The doll just happens to be a Rushton Rubber Face doll from the 1950's. I look for Rushton dolls at every single yard sale I go to - every single one. I am forever digging in toy bins a wishin' and a hoping'. And, today, I found one! I sold a pink Rushton teddy bear once for $287.00. They don't sell for anywhere near that much anymore, but they still sell for a decent amount. For now, though, I intend to keep him around for a bit just so I can look at him and say, "I found a Rushton!"
Learned another thing in blogland today - Rushton. When you do decide to let it go I hope it brings you a pretty penny!
