Nice find on those glasses. I've collected those for years but mostly the comic characters. The super heroes with the circles behind them are harder to find. Especially Batgirl. I hope you enjoy them but never put them through the dishwasher. It will dull them over time. |

Thanks for the tip, the woman I got them from bought them at a gas station way back and I was more impressed by the condition than the glasses. I can't tell you how many glasses like this I've seen in the wild that are almost faded beyond recognition. |

This Disney ashtray/candy dish I picked up sure looks like Treasure Craft, but doesn't say so on the bottom. Is my guess correct? |

Found me one of these nut crackers at a Goodwill store, where it was just $2. I'm kinda surprised they had it on the shelf, I expect them to be too conservative for this kind of thing. Then, I thought these were from the Phillipeans and so was surprised to see the Hawaiian sticker on the back. |

Found these (3) green, metal flake chairs in great shape for 10 bucks at a yard sale. Look like they could be from a bowling alley or diner? If you know any info on them, let me know. Can't find much online. Great chairs, though. |

those are awesome chairs! Congrats! @Bongo...I believe you are correct in the Disney tray being a TreasureCraft Piece. It is slightly possible that it could be a Japan clone, but I doubt it. I don't think the Japanese were making ceramic pieces in the likes of TC products. [ Edited by: Tom Slick 2010-10-26 00:23 ] |

Dr, yes, this is a pretty heavy piece itself! I can't wait to get into it and make this console, sing!(Downside is the needle cartrige was listed at $113.xx on a vintage record player webiste, claiming these are rare.(Ouch!) Hope the needle I have isn't too bad! I can replace all of the resistors and replace the old paper caps with the newer mylar for under $30. The tubes vary in price(Average between $6-25, $25 being the highest, and only one needed at that cost. Like I mentioned, this isn't my ideal console set to own, but for the price and condition, I really couldn't pass it up.(Plus it will give me some practice and knowledge restoring the electronics as I go!) Slacks, HAHAHAHA!...glad you pointed that out. It could gotten ugly real fast, had I been in shorts, or less... :lol: |

Hey, TD. I don't think MGD's been around much more than 15 or 20 years. I'd be taking the MGD sign out & using that cool atomic part for something else. |

I can verify this. I used to work for a Miller beer distributor back in the late 90's. I don't remember the exact date, but around the early-mid 90's Miller decided to make the beer seem hip by abbreviating it. Yes,long before Kentucky Fried Chicken thought of it. I hate to say that the POS (point of sale) sign is not old atomic age, but a newer incarnation. But have no fear, there are a few options you can choose. You could sell it to someone who collects beer memorabilia, have someone (or yourself if you are inclined) design a retro been label and such and replace the Miller text and logo, or keep it as is an enjoy it. I honestly don't see a problem with it as is, but I do enjoy Miller Genuine Draft on occasions to remember the old days when I started drinking. Bottom line is that not matter what the age, it's a nice sign! |

I have this same case! My mom picked it up for $10 at an auction. It's in great shape but it is incredibly light, kind of plastic feeling, right? I wonder if anyone knows anything else about these. |

Found this nice globe bar at the thrift store today for next to nothing which is just what I had in my wallet. After a major cleanup I think it looks great. I am not sure what the plaque is about. The piece must have been a gift item as it is to small for a store display. The interior has spaces for small glasses and an area in the middle for an ice bucket. |

Thanks guys. I am going to try and fit it into my bar. It's not Tiki by a long shot but tucked into a corner with some of my other nautical junk I think I can pull it off. People get a kick out of me calling that tiny area the "Captain's Cabin" but it works for me. |

I found this rattan lamp. It has a woven cord so it may be from the 40's or 30's.
Anyone have any information on this. Or have any idea what the original shade was like. And I found a cousin of the Moai mosaic.
Not a mark on it anywhere to identify it's origin. Probably a kit, but it must have been a really big, really heavy kit. |

This is my latest find that I am truly excited about. It's a circa 1977 Marantz 2265b stereo. It's in fantastic shape overall and it sounds super sweet and I think it's a true beauty. :)

A real boomerang table has been on my list of things to find for a long time. I made one myself to use until now. I'm really happy with this two-tiered one that showed up in an antique mall I'm in regularly.

Killer find there Bongo!!!! Was that from a small Southern Mi. town that you and I know about? All I have to show is this awesome vintage hand painted silk tie. $0.99 was the right price. I think it may date from the late 40's. |

Thanks Trav and I love your tie. The table came from one of the antique malls in Niles, just north of the Indiana line. I have a restaurant five minutes from there. |

Nice find Erk. I have seen a bunch of those over the years at antique shows and shops. I think many of them came with a top to cover the contents. Kind of a chrome half of the globe thing if that makes any sense. Looks like Mego Mr. Spock might be looking for some Romulan Ale from that dispenser :D |
