Our Dirty Butter Collectibles Shoppe is Now Filling with Interesting Collectibles


Hand Crafted Leather Molded African Face Wall Hanging


I've been busy adding items to almost every category of collectible we have in our DIRTY BUTTER ESTATES Collectibles SHOPPE. This mask is one of my favorites, because of the rich color of the tanned leather, and the fascinating way it is made. When you look at the back you can see that it is molded from one piece of leather.

You'll find vintage linen calendars, souvenir mugs, church commemorative plates, vintage games, tin bowls, Homer Laughlin china, and many other unique items. So please take a few minutes and browse through our catalog. You're sure to find something for yourself or a gift for that special person.

We have lots more to add from all the treasures we have found on our Friday Date Day, when we enjoy going to Estate Sales, yard sales, and thrift stores. So if there's something in particular you are looking for, please contact us. We'll be glad to post your request for help finding it, or for information about some unusual item passed down through your family, or maybe you've lucked up on something at a yard sale and are curious about it. Whatever the reason, we'll be glad to post your request.

African Face Mask ?


African Leather Wall Mask MINT

We found this beautiful 8 1/2" high leather mask, made from a single piece of leather, at an estate sale some time ago. We recently received several emails from a nice eBayer, informing us that we were selling it way too low, that is was in fact a one of a kind, Zimbabwe mask, similar to one they had bought some years ago for about $250. That was all they could tell us, and we have not been able to verify that information from any other source.

HELP!! Do any of you recognize this artwork, as to region, or tribe? Do you know how we might find out more about it, without spending any money to get it appraised?
