Keepin' It Out of the Garbage, One Treasure at a Time

Welcome to Recyclin' Treasures.  My goal is to keep perfectly good items out of landfills and to place beautiful treasures in new homes, hopefully yours!  You can find anything from antiques & vintage collectibles to brand new items still in the box.  I'm always on the look-out for cool vintage items from the 40's, 50's and 60's.  I especially like Barware and Kitchen Collectibles.  I try to list new items every Sunday, so add me to your list of Favorite Sellers and check back often!

Welcome to Recyclin' Treasures

Vintage 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's Kitchen Collectibles, Barware, Glassware & Pottery

I started out on e-bay like most others, just trying to get rid of my unwanted stuff and buying a few things along the way. Eventually I decided that I wanted to open my own e-bay store, but what would I sell??

I'm an animal lover (I worked at Petland for many years), a nature lover (been campin' for as long as I can remember) and a big believer in trying to do as much as possible to "Save the Earth". I recycle, I switched my light bulbs to CFL's, and I don't use the plastic grocery store bags. So my first idea was to sell "green items". Then one day I came across an article by Lynn Dralle "The Queen of Auctions" (great articles if you're thinking about selling on e-bay). She was a big inspiration.

I decided to start going to garage sales, flea markets, anywhere I could find one-of-a-kind items, or "Treasures" I called them. When it came time to think up my store name, I had absolutely no clue what to call it, then it hit me one night....Recyclin Treasures .  I'm helping the Earth by keeping things out of the landfills and at the same time, making someone else very happy with a new Treasure.


So here you'll find some of the items that I sell and a lot of other stuff that I recommend. And, if there's a Treasure you're lookin' for or something special you collect, don't hesitate to contact me and I'll start looking for you. I normally list new items every Sunday, but in the summer, you'll mostly find me camping, but always on the lookout for something that needs a new home!

Must Read Books for Any Serious Collector

by Ralph and Terry Kovel

These were some of the first books I purchased when I began my Treasure Hunting back in 2008. Ralph and Terry Kovel know alot of stuff about alot of things and I have learned so much from reading their books.

Editorial Reviews
"What the Kovels don't know about antiques isn't worth knowing."
--House Beautiful

"The Kovels are arguably the authorities on antiques and collectibles in this country."
--Los Angeles Times

"As millions already know, any book carrying the Kovel byline will be as reliable, informative, and fact-filled as any collector could wish."
--American Country Collectibles
