Vintage BT Fun!

So while Ori was wrapping her Auntie Christina and Uncle Ben around her little paws (thank you!!!) Nick and I were canvasing Adamstown PA for vintage BT pieces.... 2 days of searching and discovering!  We took the opportunity to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary at a cute little B & B and a weekend to relax and shop.  Adamstown has a HUGE number of stores...after a while everything started to look the same...

We found 2 miniatures.  The first one is a cast iron and looks like a Hubley "party favor" size.  I'm not sure if it was repainted or not, but we like it : )





This is the set that started it all Saturday morning.  I googled them and they look like Hagen Renaker DOG Figurines which were started in the 50's.  The puppy's last year of production was 1986 and the mother dog is still being manufactured today.  We think they're adorable!




Lots of fun searching.  I decided I want to find BT salt and pepper shakers, but despite all our hunting we weren't successful this weekend.  We'll have to search locally in the coming weeks and if all else fails we'll find some on-line....not quite as much fun, but it will do : )  A beautiful weekend with my hunny and some fun little mementos too!
