Unique Finds at Citywide Yard Sale

Many tables lined up on the Tabernacle grounds early Saturday morning — with a few vendors bringing out some unique items

Jim and Jan Howe set up for the fourth time, bringing lots of antique and unique items — including a Howdy Doody Wind Up Car from the 1950s, priced at $175. Thier table included many toys acquired from antique stores and auctions, mostly from the 1950s and '60s. 

The couple is selling most of their collection, but Jim is keeping his fire truck collection. 

Another vendor, James Adezio, visited the citywide yardsale in hopes to sell some of his 35,000 piece inventory, from his store that closed more than 10 years ago. His items included Jack in the Box, a Red Ranger gun, and some old games. Adezio now operates completely online through Toyrareum.

Many toys, antiques, and jewelry created the citywide yard sale. Both Howe and Adezio will be returning year after year.

While these vendors offered specialty items, property owners throughout the city sold more traditional household items during the island-wide yard sale event. Maps helped buyers find participating yard sales.
