Description

The listing, Watchers Auction: Vintage Max Klein Sewing Box- SSSSStuffed! has ended.

Hi All! Thanks a bunch for stopping by! : -) I want watchers! Tons and tons of watchers! (that's a lot of watchers!)And I'm willing to work for them. I'm going to stuff this with so much good stuff, you'll think you're dreaming. Like what, you ask?
I've got buttons; glass, abalone and other shells, metal, round, square, sparkly,few bakelite. Vintage lace of different widths and styles, patterns, wooden and other spools of thread, scissors, tapes, pin cushions, pins, needles, crochet hooks, fabric, beads, bobbins, hooks n' eyes, grommets, snaps, elastic, velcro, embroidery floss, crafting thread, thimbles, n other items for sewing/craft.There's no flat-rate that this box will fit into. The box i'm using has extra room,so I thought I'd make this interesting, and fill it up too. And yes, this is going to cost a bunch, by the ounce. But I'm still doing it with FREE shipping! (and my grandkids think I'm smart!) But like most kids, I just wanna have fun! So let's all have some fun with this one. You folks are going to get to choose a lot of what goes in there, just to make it sweeter. How much goes in, will depend on how the watching and bidding go, so let's get busy! : -) I'll add more items to choose from as we go.
The box was produced in the late 60's to early 70's. It's sturdy, olive green plastic,with wood grain. It measures 12" x 8" x 8".
One item of my choice for every 10 watchers to 100. better ones every 25 over that!
Choose from 3 groups. First bidder picks from 1 or 2. Every bidder increasing hi bid by 100 or more select from 1. By 250 select 1 or 2. By 500 or more, any group. I may refine this as we go. To get the ball rolling, I'll add four gorgeous abalone coat buttons! They are 1 1/8" diameter, and very pretty.
I only ship to Listia verified addresses. I refund credits if I've misrepresented my item, but not for buyers remorse.
Please tag along with me to the end, so your "watch" counts. Thanks so much! Good luck, and please enjoy.

I'm 61 & would love to see some vintage milk glass jewelry put in the box;0)!! You asked!!

Apr 6th, 2013 at 4:54:22 AM PDT by

Lol ForTheLoveOfVintage. You don't know how close I came to throwing a piece of milk glass in there just for sng, but that's another auction. I only have a little bit, and will probably put a piece in my "jewelry box" sale coming up next month. Keep your eye open for it! You guys have no idea how much "stuff" I've squirreled away over the years, and I plan on sharing a bunch of it here, as I can afford to ship it. Keep watching!

Wardog, sometime next month, I am putting together a knitting/crocheting auction. It should be a doozer once I get it all pulled together. Be sure to watch for it. I've also started a few more auctions this evening, that you may want to check out.

Apr 4th, 2013 at 11:52:43 PM PDT by

watcher number 42 hoping for crochet hooks or yarn!

Apr 4th, 2013 at 10:51:00 PM PDT by

One crochet hook, coming up. As far as knitting yarn, that would take a lot of space up in the boxes. I do have some poly-something kite string that ppl crochet with tho, and will be introducing some embroidery floss. Thank you for your request!

Apr 4th, 2013 at 11:48:26 PM PDT by

wow. this is neat... im watching (number 80 :) ) ...that quilt top or material was beautiful wasnt sure if thats added yet lol...im not sure how it works...if i got to request while watching, the wooden spools, or red seed beads, that pretty material lol...and if its not my turn let me know when it it is lol...:)

Apr 7th, 2013 at 2:39:33 AM PDT by

Thank you kico66. I had promised to put up pictures of how the other groups are set up, and I will try to get that done this evening. I have two of my grandchildren every weekend, and so I get a little behind. Group 3 will have some of the more "premium" items to choose from, but requires bidding to select from. I will also have a "winners circle", that only the winner of the auction can make their final selection from, and must leave room in the box for. Bare with me, and I'll get those pics up for you.

Apr 7th, 2013 at 5:20:19 AM PDT by

we have one of theses.

Apr 8th, 2013 at 5:06:29 PM PDT by

That's cool. But hang on to it tho, until my auction is over. lol! : -)).

F & W just one question does these items come from a smoke free home ?

Apr 17th, 2013 at 8:37:03 AM PDT by

Thank you Kyjesusonefan. Fanned you back. In answer to your question; I smoke, but I don't smoke indoors. I have guest at times that do. Almost everything in this auction is vintage, some I bought pre-owned. Everything I ship will be clean and sanitary. For instance, each piece of lace I put in the box, I have carefully hand laundered, and if necessary pressed, then placed in a sandwich bag. Most of this has been in storage for a while, and I can not promise that there will be absolutely no odor because I can't very well wash threads, or cards and other items of wood or paper. I never ship anything nasty or offensive. Read my feedback. : -)

Apr 17th, 2013 at 9:35:54 AM PDT by

watcher # 219----good luck on this great super duper auction--been having fun reading all the comments and remarks---maybe add a doll?? for us doll collectors??

Thanks Lizmckay! Fanned you back, and watcher # 18. I'm surprised they didn't sc your auction tho. They deleted mine just minutes before the end, because I had a "bonus" 50c" off coupon for the winner. It has to be coupons for absolutely Free. Good luck with it.
