Recent Finds


Mid Century steel letters are becoming harder to find--especially porcelain coated letters in a great color like cobalt blue. Of course, 'T' is the best letter, ever.

I'm a sucker for old signs and I'm a sucker for barbeque. So you shouldn't be surprised that I ended up with these old signs pulled from the North Carolina countryside.
In the bottom of a box, I found this 1930s signed sporting lithogragh, good snag for a buck.

Picked up this groovy desk lamp at an estate sale for Lil' Bean. She likes it.
At the same estate sale, I found this cherry, leather briefcase from the 1950's or 1960's. -Will hold my laptop nicely.
Arts and Crafts style is great and this Limoges bowl, hand-painted in 1915, seemed like a bargain for one dollar.
I thought that this 1950s feeding cup had excellent graphics. I thought a buck was reasonable for it.

Hey, that's the lamp that Marcia stole from me in 1973! I'll give you $15 for it.

I'm in the market for a large "B" for my cousin Bucky.

Give me a BB!

Not so fast, Buckster. I'll be purchasing those B's. Now, where is the 'Buy it Now" button?

Grande Robert,
If you want any of my merch, contact my Chinese wholesaler through Tao Bao and they will have it shipped from Raleigh to Qingdao. It will then be shipped to its final destination in the States.

-Why use a Chinese distribution network to convey my uniquely American merchandise? The irony is delicious, isn't it?

But I live in Alabama....

Trailer Trad said...

Oh. Then you will also be subject to the 300% 'Alabama Surtax.'
