We’ve added some exciting new things to the listings!
Thank you for being part of The Tilgen Effort email list—we’re grateful to have you along as we continue redeeming space and finding new homes for the many treasures collected over four generations.
Yes, it has been a while. We’ve just been busy with the holidays… and a side project! As we’ve been going through all this stuff, we’ve found a LOT of items that link to the history of our twin boroughs. We invited a representative of the local historical society over, and at the end of the afternoon, he headed out with over 250 items of interest! The society got some historic stuff, and we got rid of it! Win-win!
Oh… How do you like our new logo? In sorting through documents, we came across the logo that Lew’s Dad made for a ‘Gift House’ that he was considering starting back in the 1970’s. We added a little color, and are using it in his memory.
Anyway… We’ve just added a fresh batch of items to the website, and we wanted you to be among the first to know. This batch focuses on antique toys. Some of these pieces will be heading onto Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Etsy, or eBay, but the website remains the central hub where everything is organized and easy to browse.
To help you spot the newest additions quickly, you can filter for them on the site by searching for the following three-letter prefix:
• YLX
Using the prefix will pull up a group of newly listed items, making it simple to explore what’s just been added.
As always, if something catches your eye, feel free to reach out through the contact form on that item’s page—we typically respond within 24 hours. And if you’re hunting for something specific, let us know; we’re always happy to check what’s tucked away.
Thanks again for being part of this effort. More items are on the way, so keep an eye on your inbox, Facebook, and the site for future updates.
