Antique shop finds.





I love browsing charity and antique shops.
You never know what you are going to get when you walk into a dusty old shop with items stacked to the ceiling. On our recent trip to dingle we stopped at a few of these shops and stacked a few books, some clothes and other assorted items but then these metal signs caught my eye.
I've always had a goal to build my own man cave out the back of our house and hopefully will manage to do it in a few years time. So i love finding old pub signs, original glasses and anything else that will come in handy down the line.
We went into a stacked charity shop in Castle Island which was low on those items listed but i did spot a selection of 90's hip hop artists buried in the corner in bright and vibrant colors which was totally at odds with everything else in the whole store.
I was massive into my 90's hip-hop and wanted these as soon as i had seen them. I had never come across this type of metal poster before except in my old pub signage so it caught my attention.
- Snoop
- Biggie
- 50 cent
- Kendrick Lamar.
I could have passed on the last one but they were only $15 each and i managed to snag the 4 for $50 so no point in leaving it behind. I would have much rather found DMX, 2Pac, Dre or another 90's icon but he will have to do.
I don't have any place for them at the moment but they can go into the attic with the rest of my collection and when the time comes I will make the space.
Looking at these official displate items the retail at $190 for four so $50 is a good bargain in perfect condition.

I quiet like the look of these ones and might add a few more to the collection down the line if i can find them or at least have the option to buy new as well. All in all, a good trip to the antique store last week.

What a true treasure for nostalgia lovers and fans of beautiful vintage pieces
I think the art itself of these metal posters is really beautiful. They will probably stand out and easily grab attention whichever place you put them, given their vibrancy. That era of music is mostly unfamiliar to me, I was a mere toddler back then :)
It wasn't huge in this country but I got really into it in my teens. That's why it was so nice to find these bits.
