It is the end of an era in Hinsdale Illinois as Belluomini's restaurant and bar has its estate sale. An institution for 78 years, it closed earlier this year.
This is the kind of sale a picker can't miss, especially a picker who spent many hours and dollars as a customer of this fine establishment.
Beside the bar, a 1920's farmhouse on the property was packed full.
The living and dining room were nicely packed with a good assortment of vintage stuff. Lots of waffle irons; some appeared to be unused in the box.
Ancient washing machine waits for the special collector.
A small kitchen holds some commercial equipment.
A view of the bar. Tons of glassware were available for purchase.
The garage held the usual assortment of tools and junk.
View from the back of the house. All buildings will be coming down soon to make way for a subdivision of 4 or 5 houses. The land is very valuable and cannot be used for commercial now that it has left the original family.
Need some shot glasses?
This is a Paul A. Lux W.C. Fields decanter from 1976

Day 3 of the sale: picked up yet another gun. This time, an Executive Marshmallow shooter. Comes in a nice carrying case:
