Art Mystery – Can Anyone Help Identify This Piece?

This artwork came into the store on consignment, and before we list it for sale, we’re trying to learn more about it.

After taking it apart for a closer inspection, we’ve uncovered some interesting clues:

✈️ Signed “HAIST” in the lower corner.
✈️ The black medium actually transfers slightly to your finger when rubbed.
✈️ The white highlights are raised and appear to have been applied by hand.
✈️ Visible pencil layout/grid lines surround the image area.
✈️ Mounted on Hi-Art Crescent Illustration Board, commonly used by professional artists and illustrators.
✈️ Overall size is approximately 24¾” x 20”.

The scene appears to depict an aviation or seaplane action scene with a harbor, aircraft, explosion, and a figure falling from the plane. Several collectors have suggested it may be original illustration artwork rather than a standard print, but we have not been able to positively identify the artist or the publication it may have been created for.

We’ve searched for artists with the surname Haist but haven’t found a definitive match.

Does anyone recognize:
🔍 The artist?
🔍 The aircraft?
🔍 The scene?
🔍 A magazine, book, advertisement, or publication where this may have appeared?

Please share with any artists, illustrators, aviation enthusiasts, military history buffs, collectors, or anyone who enjoys solving a good mystery. You never know who might recognize it.

🚨 Schedule Change for This Weekend 🚨

Apparently I should stop trying to remember my own schedule. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I completely forgot that I have an appointment for my car at 1:30 on Saturday, so I was wrong about our hours for this coming weekend.

Updated Hours:
✅ Friday: 9 AM – 2 PM
❌ Saturday: CLOSED (if anyone wants to pick up anything we can work around my availability this day)
✅ Sunday: 8 AM – 2 PM

Everything else remains exactly the same:

✔️ 50% off storewide liquidation sale
✔️ Same exclusions as previously posted
✔️ Anything on my eBay tables is not included
✔️ Anything without a price tag is not for sale and will not be priced that day
✔️ Cash purchases remain 50% off
✔️ Credit card purchases over $100 are 50% off
✔️ Credit card purchases under $100 are 40% off

There is still enough inventory left to fill several stores, and we continue to bring out more items as we work through everything before closing.

See you Friday and Sunday! Come help us lighten the load before I end up moving half of New York State by myself. 😅📦🏷️

05/31/2026

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make this a great weekend! We truly appreciate every single person who stopped by, shopped, chatted, or just came to support us. ❤️

We will reopen again this coming Saturday, June 6, from 12 PM - 3 PM only.

With so many yard sales happening, that’s where I’ll be spending most of my day. 🤷🏼‍♀️

If you are still waiting on a refund related to the event, please send us a message and let us know whether you would like it mailed or if you plan to stop in and pick it up. Unless we have already spoken with you directly, we don’t know what your preference is, and I am still missing addresses for a few people.

Thank you again for all of your support. We have a lot left to clear out, so we’ll see you Saturday!

05/31/2026

🚨 OPEN TODAY 8AM–2PM 🚨

The liquidation continues and trust us… there is STILL enough stuff left to fill five stores. 😳

💳 Credit Card Purchases:
• Over $100 = 50% OFF
• Under $100 = 40% OFF

💵 Cash Purchases:
• 50% OFF as always

Furniture, antiques, vintage, collectibles, décor, tools, household items, and boxes upon boxes of treasures we haven’t even gotten through yet.

We are clearing this place out one piece at a time, and every day more items are coming out.

Come help us empty the building before June 20th!

And remember, despite certain people in the local antique world seemingly believing they should be the only game in town, we’re still here, still selling, and still making deals. 😘

📍3817 Lakeshore Dr. E., Dunkirk
⏰ Open 8AM–2PM Today Only

Come dig. Come save. Come haul away some history. 🛒🏺📦

❤️ A Huge Thank You! ❤️

Thank you to everyone who came out and shopped with us today. It was honestly great to see so many familiar faces, and even better to watch so much inventory find new homes. We cleared out quite a bit of stuff today, which is exactly what we were hoping for!

For those who couldn’t make it, don’t worry—we’re continuing our 50% OFF liquidation sale all the way through our final day on June 20th.

📣 We will be open tomorrow from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

Important update regarding payments: Today I made an exception and allowed quite a few credit card purchases at the 50% off price. Unfortunately, between the discount and credit card processing fees, that just isn’t something I can continue doing.

Starting tomorrow:
💵 Cash = 50% Off
💳 Credit/Debit Cards = 40% Off

You’re still getting a great deal either way, but the deepest discount will be reserved for cash purchases.

There is still plenty left to choose from, and we’ll continue bringing out more inventory as we work through everything. Whether you’re a collector, reseller, treasure hunter, or just looking for a great deal, now is the time to stop in.

As always:
✅ Prior negotiated prices remain firm
✅ Items on eBay tables are not included in the 50% off sale
✅ Anything not priced is not yet available for sale

Thank you all for helping us clear things out and for supporting us during this crazy chapter. We appreciate every single one of you more than you know. ❤️

And to that one local business owner who’s spent so much time worrying about what we’re doing instead of what he’s doing… thanks for the free advertising. It seems to be working out just fine for us. 😉

SOLD

38 plants left… total in store price was $564 individually. Buy all of the for $250. That’s under $6.60 per plant and some of these are in vintage and antique pots that alone were priced at $40+ see all photos. Some more rare plants included in this as well. We sold a ton of them today and I’m just over being a responsible plant parent at this point. Only includes the 38 in the photos.

🚨 FLASH SALE TIME! 🚨

Throughout the day, I’ll be posting items in the comments at their 50% OFF liquidation prices.

👉 If you claim an item, you are committing to purchase it.
👉 Payment and pickup must happen the SAME DAY you claim it.
👉 No holds. No exceptions. No “I’ll grab it tomorrow.” No “Can you hold it until payday?”

We are in full liquidation mode and need items moving out the door, not sitting with pending claims.

To claim an item, simply comment SOLD under the photo. The first confirmed claim gets it.

Cash only.

Let’s clear this place out! 🔥

(And before a certain local business owner starts keeping score from the sidelines again, don’t worry—we’re still managing to sell things just fine. 😉(I hope you have the weekend you deserve!)

05/30/2026

Open today 9–2.

I was going to do 9–3, but honestly, I’d like to enjoy at least some part of my day. 😂

50% off the entire store — same exceptions as before.

Cash only unless your purchase is over $100.

If you need to pick up refund money from the canceled event, I will have cash available at the store today.

We only have a handful of days left to be open, so come help us clear this place out before we officially wrap up this chapter.

And as always… a special little wave to the down-the-road fan club. Your dedication to watching us is almost touching. Almost

05/30/2026

🚨 OPEN TOMORROW 9 AM – 3 PM 🚨

The entire store is 50% OFF as we continue our final liquidation.

Same exceptions as previous posts apply:
• Any previously discussed prices remain firm (they have already been heavily discounted)
• eBay tables are not included (most has been removed from the store anyway)
• Anything without a price is NOT for sale and will not be priced that day
• Cash only

For our flea market vendors:

💰 If you are owed a refund from the canceled event, I will have cash available in the store tomorrow for pickup.

📬 If you would prefer your refund be mailed, please send your name and mailing address to the page through Messenger and I will get those sent out next week.

We now have just FOUR weekends (eight days) left before we close this chapter for good.

If you’ve had your eye on something, now is the time. If you’re a reseller, now is definitely the time. We are bringing out more inventory constantly, and our goal is simple:

Help us clear this place out.

The less we have to move, the happier we’ll be. 😆

And to the handful of people who have spent the last year hoping we’d disappear: sorry to disappoint you. We’re still here, still selling, and still planning what comes next. And we wish you good luck in your future endeavors.

Let’s make these final weeks count. ❤️

We have decided that since we need to clear out that this needs to go. Best offer. Has four matching chairs that are beautiful but need to be refinished. Also has the center leaf to extend it. You don’t find the red ones in this good of shape often. Best offer takes it.
