Due to an unfortunate incident rendering me inable to collect until 2018, I figured I'd start a sightings thread...and what better way to start than a bunch of estate sale sightings?
1st estate sale:
A rather small house in Plano.
2nd estate sale: a decent size house not too far from my house.
First encounter with a Harbor Breeze Rutherford, which they wanted-and got- $150 for. The Classic Style install looks like something out of a home magazine. They wanted $95 for it and it didn't even work right!
You know how they say the third time's the charm? Yeah, that applied yesterday.
So I walk up on this rather small house about ten minutes from the last one, and see a Mariner out front-
We- my aunt and I- walk in and there's a Weathered Brick original staring me in the face. It's actually quite impressive. Photos do it no justice.
In the first of two bedrooms, there was this thing.
I thought it wouldn't get much better than the brick original, until I walked in the master bedroom and found this.
Bronze Patina Casablanca Mission. This one was AdvanTouch.
Close up-
After that I made a stop at one of the rather meh habitats around here, although it does have something of a claim to fame, in that it was built by the company that employed a collector's dad.
The only thing really worth a darn was an incomplete 1986 Delta II, missing almost everything. However, I did find this crystal-housing hugger interesting.

That's it for now
