Chequered Past

I’ll always support fellow friends sellers and collectors. If you’re kicking around Saturday head down to Lilydale Antiques and Collectables Fair and give your support to Vintage as Mumma ! From little things big things grow!

A big sincere thank you for all the genuine love, interest and support from this community lately!
Vintage as Mumma has been a passion project of mine for years now - if you've been following along, you'll know i've been selling vintage online and in an antiques hall for a while now, but this market feels like a big deal! This will be the first time putting my face to my brand, the first time meeting my customer base and the first time I can fully show off my curation as a collection.
Truly so excited (and a little nervous) for tomorrow, and so thankful to each of you!

Been a minute! After a premises move, a few battles and a few victories, we’re back to usual programming.
As well as tools, advertising and anything collectable, spark plugs are one of our jams now, I’ve been learning about the 1000’s of manufacturers worldwide over the last 130 years. Fascinating and bewildering at the same time. Some solid sales so far, and many many more to come. https://www.ebay.com.au/str/chequeredpastvintage

Titan for days! Titan is a name synonymous with Australia made chisels, augers, nails and screws. These beauty’s made their way into my tool chest. (And probably haven’t been used since!)

Drawing inspiration way back when. Tasmania stole my heart a long time ago. The rustic charm. A reminder of simpler times. Back when real men made real structures out of real materials. Retrospect Sundays.

The curves on this Proto 4749 1/4” ratchet are sexy. No other word for it.
