27 Valuable Vintage Collectible Items That Are Worth Money

My favorite collectible vintage items that are valuable and worth money! A lot of these I own and love but quite a few of them I still have to shop for at flea markets and estate sales. Some of the items I'm sharing about include mid-century modern glassware, made in Japan ceramics, and antique rugs. Below is a full list of the vintage collectibles with links to view the prices. Do you own any of these items? What ones did I miss? Let me know in the comments!

Do you have a budget that you set for wish list items? There are items that I really want to find and often can at antique shops but…$$$$
Also what happens for me is that I’ll find the item for cheap but the shipping to Canada is $$$$

Okay i'm going to share a craft I do- take a breath and sit down first cos it's gonna blow your mind. Buy chipped lady head vases, then kitsch them up with vintage Christmas bits and bobs as hats! omg so fun to decorate a mini tree as a hat. you're welcome!

I'm a Gen X and my family had a lot of those growing up. My mom had a lady head vase collection that I think she tired of at some point and donated them. The vintage patio furniture, Fire King, blowmold patio lights, so many memories.

I love jadeite! I have a collection of many different pieces! I’ve been collecting for 4 years from thrift stores/ antique shops!

So interesting! Thanks for sharing.

I don’t own anything valuable that I know of but I have a personal obsession with tins that look like buildings. I just got one that looks like a haberdasher with mice making the hats in the windows 🥹

This was great! I learned so much, Emily! Some of the things I also have are two tulip bowls and five lady head vases. I’d love to find some mugs. Are they Fire King? I think I’d like to make a vision board. I’m going to read your post on it.

Emily, I live where the Hudson Bay Company established itself in Canada. I’ve always wanted a blanket, they are still available new, the coats are amazing. Watching from Manitoba, Canada🇨🇦🤩

Definitely a head vase, I’ll take a scratched, chipped, cracked broken one, and work my way up to affording my dream perfect one💖I love your videos and I’m playing catch up trying to see them all. I’ll get there my dear, I also had the same blue typewriter your mom had when I was a teen in the 70’s

Hi, I have a huge yo-yo quilt I bought years ago but never knew the value. What or where is the best way to get top dollar for it and several others I have collected over 20 years.As a picker, I know a little of a lot of items but are more famous liar with others than some…..like quilts! Love your very informative video. Thank you!

[spaceytracey]

Wonderful video. I have never seen the owl blow mold patio lights before but OMG I am going to have those for sure! Something else fun to collect is the old tin recipe boxes.

I have one of those rugs and several of the items you mentioned in the video

[sandracushing]

I don't know if have heard of a YouTube channel called LizRetros and she actually did her own Catherine Holm pieces. She and her husband are very creative. I love your channel.

Loved the video Emily and your vintage sheet display was the perfect backdrop! 💛💚🧡💗

[fivezmarquix]

Loved this video! I usually go to local thrift stores but this makes me want to check out more estate sales and flea markets.

[inhale]

Emily, I will keep my eyes open for you and your wishlist items, when I go to yard sales. Vintage Fiesta pottery is still very collectible.

I'm definitely on the lookout for a hudson bay coat too - they're adorable! And I love the rainbow vibe, but I'd also take a 70's more psychadelic plaid rainbow coat 🤩 Haven't found any other than online when someone was displaying their gorgeous collection. It's way too easy for me to justify a big cost when it's something I find super beautiful LOL!

[larajean]

My grandfather had a pendleton coat with that same striped motif! My parents still have it but it got damaged in their basement.

[dcdszgage]

Hope to see a vintage Disney video too!

[stacisober]

That Marshmallow tin is on my list! 😍 A Hudson Bay blanket is also on my wish list! I saw what looked like a Hudson Bay coat at the Farm Girl Flea Market: Christmas at Countryside Greenhouse in Allendale. Maybe you can contact them and they will have the contact information for who had it!
Fabricscout out of Lowell always has the paint by numbers on her website and also has a booth at the Found Cottage in Hudsonville.
I recently saw some of the Galaxy Syrup bottles at an antique store in Mason, Timeless Treasures.
