Last week’s episode<\/a> of Sammy D TV said it all: Seek out vintage in the closet of your elderly loved ones.<\/p>\n

But what I failed to share were the complete goodies of one particular successful venture into the closet of a former high school classmate’s 90-year-old grandmother. Actually, it was her attic. Of her 1920s three-story home in the historic section of Lancaster, Pennsylvania near the home of former president James Buchanan.<\/p>\n

Besides the fact that it was the perfect setting to find the vintage eye candy below [start scrolling … you won’t be able to stop], it was the perfect example of how one woman’s trash is another woman’s treasure. As I explain in the video, your grandparents\/great aunts\/uncles\/mom\/dad\/old college professors just don’t know the value of what they consider to be “just collecting dust.”<\/p>\n

Even my friends over at Pickles and Coffee<\/a> recently scoured some sweet vintage sunglasses<\/a> from their grandmother. Good work, boys!<\/p>\n

With the first Sammy Davis Vintage Lovin’ Benefit Sale<\/a> [and one year anniversary!] fast approaching, it’s about time that I start giving you a tasty preview of the currency of my constant traveling in the Camry.<\/p>\n

THE LOST ART OF HAT BOXES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Along with the fantastic find of 10+ vintage hats, I came across a few nearly mint condition hat boxes. Have you ever SEEN a hat box sold in stores? Neither have I.<\/p>\n

This one speaks to me – since the art depicts 5th Avenue, New\u00a0 York. There is some writing in pencil on the top of the hat box, but the inside and construction is perfect.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Note the street sign that says “5th Avenue.”<\/p>\n
