We like bringing in new items each day to our warehouse…… This week was no different. People have been requesting us to bring in more couches, well we brought in 4 couches this week, in fact one was sold immediately after we unloaded it from our truck. These are nice mid century modern couches from a upscale home on the upper west side. Lots of other goodies have arrived from this wonderful apartment as well.

Then we went to a lovely loft in the village we purchased a large collection of african items. African masks, headdresses, statues, carvings, rugs, bronze statues and much more. We only managed to unload 2 boxes from this home and there are so many great pieces to choose from.

We also filled up the box truck with lots of photography equipment, mid century modern furniture, lots of handmade rugs, one of a kind art pieces and a whole bunch of other furniture and of course more african items.

These

items plus more will be unloaded during the next week. You can follow our instagram account @reuseamericany for the daily new items.

We hope you like the pictures enclosed and we look forward to seeing you again.

We have been busy purchasing unique vintage gift items for the shop. We know many of our customers and friends are going back home for the holidays and they are looking for that one of a kind item. Well we have lots of hard to find items, in fact we have thousands of unique items in our massive warehouse. Many people come in for one item and spend hours searching thru our massive collection of hidden treasures. If you are looking for a gift for that true vintage lover or looking for something unique to place in your apartment…Reuse America is the place for you. We bring in over 1,000 items each week.

This week we purchased the contents of an estate in Connecticut of an elderly woman who collected everything. We spent the entire day digging thru endless items in her basement and attic. We uncovered so many cool items. Each box we opened was a revelation of history and her life and we heard many stories about their use in her life. She kept everything in sealed bags and boxes so it was a tedious task revealing her treasures, but it was well worth it since we obtained so many unique items that we have not seen before. She had many mid century modern gems mixed in with her antique items….it was a wonderful experience.

Then we went to a nice home in Ditmas Park Brooklyn where we purchased some nice mid century furniture from a Victorian home on a quiet street. We were expecting the home to be full of antiques which we generally dont buy, but we were surprised to find a nice mid century credenza and bar, a stunning mid century modern desk, mid century round table, recliner, dressers,

 

Danish modern lounge chair set, mid century modern bar cart, mid century chrome and glass side table set, some amazing mid century pottery, great mid century lighting and a bunch of vintage oriental items.

Thursday is going to be another adventurous day as we have 3 appointments ranging from queens to New Jersey. Be sure to check out our instagram for our daily discoveries @reuseamericany.

Elliot was busy this week picking in Brooklyn. Yes Brooklyn has some cool places to get some great old stuff. Many of our followers would love to go on a pick with us so we will give some lucky folks a chance in the future. Simply go to our facebook page @ReuseAmericaVintage and like us. You will also see daily updates of what we bring into our warehouse.

We were in the basement of an old tailor shop and we pulled out a nice commercial ironing table with a cast iron base from a factory, we think its from the 1940’s. Anyways it will make a great one of a kind bar to the lucky person who picks this up. We also got over 500 vintage ties brand new in the wrapper. Some are from designers like chistian dior and other famous ones. Many many more cool items came from this pick.

we were also fortunate to get a call from someone who was downsizing and we picked up some really cool mid century modern furniture. A table high corner table which is really sturdy. A pair of Knoll style wire stools. A pair of Valeigh Mid century modern side tables / coffee table which will make any room look fabulous.

We also picked up some great industrial pieces including a bunch of industrial tables and metal bases as well as 6 industrial lamps in great condition.

We got a call from a butcher company in the Bronx  to go thru his warehouse before he closes his business. We didn’t get much from him though, but it was a learning experience. We got a stainless steel meat rack, meat hooks with sliders on them and an industrial coat rack which held the uniforms of the workers of the plant

Right before closed for the day today an old car collector came to visit the store and he said he had some cool things to sell us. I was sceptical at first and then he pulled out some random parts from his pickup truck. These 1930’s car parts are going to make someone really the talk of the town. We got this great flare fender which would make a unique coffee table as is, but we will be improving on it this coming week. We also got the dashboard with the old dials and the front windshield which our talented woodworker buck will be making into yet another great coffee table.

All in all we brought 4 overflowing cargo vans full of stuff into our warehouse. Lots of great items to get. Some pictures are posted below.

PREVIEW:

This week we will be picking up 4 tulip chairs and a tulip table plus much much more
