This 4-foot tall wooden statue brought a $500 sale on eBay!
Yet another example of American Tobacciana, we are happy to share the sale of this vintage Carved Wood Indian Chief Statue, once used to advertise the sale of cigars in front of smoke shops and general stores.
Decades ago, it was common to find wooden sculptures much like this one advertising wares in front of stores across the country. Not too many survive to this day, so finding one in great shape is always exciting! This model stood 4 feet tall, and its colors were still bright, so it’s sale at $500 is easy to understand!
Many old advertising pieces can bring impressive prices. Items related to tobacco and alcohol are frequent high-sellers. Come in to Auction Bay to see if your item will bring in the big bucks!

This fine example of carved Americana brought a great sale!
Vintage Americana is one category with potential for huge sales. Just take for example this classic Carousel Rounding Board, elaborately carved of wood and featuring fine detail and bright colors! Pieces like this can bring in big bucks for collectors and restoration specialists, and it’s easy to see why!
This piece was in great condition for its age, but needed some care and restoration. Its sale at $600.00 shows the potential for this genre, as great Carousel and Carnival items can be huge sellers. The detail of the carvings, the bright colors, and the size (roughly 60″ by 30″) all lent toward a strong sale. Auction Bay showcased its features, and the buyer did the rest.
If you have classic American carved art like this, it could bring in the bids on eBay, and Auction Bay Online will help you sell it!

What will your old costume jewelry sell for?
Costume Jewelry isn’t always a big seller, but popular brand names and sought-after materials can push sale prices up! Such was the case with this vintage faceted red bakelite bead necklace!
Bakelite, a predecessor of modern plastics, is a desirable material, and can mean the difference between a non-seller and a big seller like this one. This strand of beads offers a classic look and is in great condition, helping it sell for $77.99!
Among the most desirable of costume jewelry are matched sets (earrings with pin or brooch, necklace, all in the same style). One of the names we look for is Trifari, whose elaborate pieces can be worth a fair bundle, if their condition and appearance have been maintained. Sometimes, an entire jewelry box of costume pieces can sell en masse for a fair price, too! At Auction Bay, we’ll help you find the hidden treasures in your collection. Once, we found a rare gold coin in our consignor’s old jewelry box, long forgotten and ready to sell. She was quite happy with the result!

This vintage chalkware figure brought BIG bids!
Auction Bay is the place to take your old advertising items, especially Bar Decor and Beer Signs! We’ll help you turn them into cash, just like we did with this figurine!
This item is in impressive condition, and makes a fine collectable piece of Breweriana. Advertising Drewrys Ale and Beer and standing over 16″ tall, this figure is made from chalkware, making it even more desirable (as it is hard to find a chalk figurine in such great shape)! It features the iconic mountee, proudly standing aside his horse. It brought 18 bids – a competitive auction for certain – and sold for $717.77! Genuine articles of vintage bar decor are sought after by fans of the beer as well as advertising collectors, not to mention bartenders.
Sometimes, the biggest sellers in breweriana are from Beers which no longer are produced, or have changed their mascot or logo. Whatever your collectible is, Auction Bay can help you bring a strong sale!

These old toys sold for over $100! What's in your closet?
Classic toys in good condition are one of eBay’s hottest kinds of items! Take, for example, this pair of vintage Playskool playsets! In good used condition, and with their original boxes, these toys brought great interest, gathering 11 bids, and selling for $118.46!
For collectors, hobbyists, and nostalgic adults reminiscing upon their childhood favorites, old toys are often highly sought-after. Especially for popular brand names like Playskool, Fisher Price, LEGO, and Mattel, and also for obscure or rare names, the worldwide marketplace of eBay is your best bet for finding, buying, or selling old toys! And at Auction Bay, we are happy to help you get the biggest bang for your buck!
If only, back when we were kids, we knew just how much more valuable our toys might be one day if we had only kept the box! For those with toys in good condition or near complete, eBay offers a great and profitable experience!
