There were too many great finds to not do a second post. I found this wooden beer crate to be especially intersting. The antiques dealer gave me a tip and explained that the way to spot an original from a fake is to look for “Since 1879” as opposed to 2 dates listing a time bracket such as 1879-2011. Have a look inside the post to see what an original looks like.
If you go to a flea market and see something great you think should be in the vintage section on The Dieline, tweet it to me @meg_cummins.
