You Tube addict I'm in the same category. I love the intros to the old tv shows...Mission Impossible, Hawaii 5-0 and even Mannix. Nothing beats Dusty Springfield singing "Song of a Preacher Man" or Bobbie Gentry singing "Ode to Billy Joe". I also found an old Chrysler Cordoba...

I'm posting this for a friend of mine is downsizing and wants to get rid of several items. Perhaps one of the vacuum collectors is interested. This is marked "copyright NYWF '39". He says it's in good shape. The item is located in Long Beach, NY. I don't know what it is worth or what he wants...

This is so bad, I had to share it with the group! This is Francine Fishpaw's Dream Kitchen! http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/zip/184094813.html

Not really a joke When I was a little kid, my grandparents owned a small motel. I used to get stuck in the basement with my aunt Katie who would be washing sheets in the wringer washer. She was a short, heavy set Italian woman with a crazy sense of humor. One of her favorite rhymes was: Q...

I had a racoon in my chimney last summer. Didn't realize it until late one night it sounded like someone was trying to break into our house. The loud banging turned out to be a racoon trying to open the damper in the fireplace in the livingroom. It turned out to be a mama with 2 babies who...

Check out the last of three sales for this Friday and Saturday. Lots of small vintage appliances! Everything's half off Saturday. http://www.estatesale1.com/this.htm

Clairtone Stereo I've had this stereo for 10 years. It is a 1966 Clairtone Project G2. It was made in Canada. This sat at an estate sale for 3 days and was one of the last pieces left in the house - nobody could figure out how to turn it on. A little contact cleaner on the buttons and 500+...

I've seen more vacuum collectors post on the Super Forum. Check out this Minneapolis Craigslist. http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/clt/137219501.html

Different Strokes The ebay description was too much information. I'm sure the new kitchen is full of granite and stainless steel...taking wifey far away from the kitchen memories of her youth. I saw this posting of another kitchen from craigslist. Too bad...this was right out of 1956 House...

Nice dishes, Greg! Hi Greg - That is Franciscan pottery and the pattern is Autumn. This was made in about 1955. Franciscan Starburst was a competing line around that time but it had a slightly different shape. Finding replacement pieces for this set will be easier (and easier on your wallet)...

Those old Lilt boxes remind me of my mom getting home perms in the early 70's from the "neighborhood beautician", Angie. That smell was EVERYWHERE! Plus, Angie was one of the few people that my mom allowed to smoke in the house (Angie and my grandpa). We'd come home from school and Angie would...

Large trees down in Golden Valley Hi All - I live directly west of Downtown Minneapolis and our area got hit pretty hard. Jason and I lost our huge Norway maple tree that was in our front yard (boo-hoo). It was BIG...split in half. It missed the house by about 5 feet. A few homes up the street...

Moss Room divider The picture below shows the base for the Moss divider. Like the table lamps, the base lights up and so does the fuzzy shade on top. There is a book on Moss lamps that shows this divider. FYI..this is another TV that I restored (1959 Philco). I replaced it with the blonde...

What sharp eyes you have, Versatronic... Ah, not many people know who made this stuff! I used to collect Moss lamps, so I have quite a few. Yes, that is a Moss room divider. I even have one that is a fishtank! The stools are Weinberg as well as the sculpture on the wall in the guest (red) room...

1957 Space Command This is a black and white tv. The remote is detachable. The mount on the front of the tv is a Zenith logo. The remote has 4 buttons - on, off, volume and channel. There are a series of clips on the tuner that allow you to bypass unused channels. It sounds very mechanical when...

Another basement pic I promise..this is the last picture. The far wall of the basement is a sculpture of a mountain scene. Lit with a neon tube from above - not florescent. Someone mentioned looking for a stereo. I bought this one 10 years ago and play it every day!

OK....here's the washer and dryer These came with the house. Rob has replaced a few things to keep them running. They are from the late 70's - Montgomery Ward.

Here is the porch Image didn't show up in the post above. Rob's going to yell at me tomorrow for taking up so much space on this site. I'll buy breakfast on Saturday!

Guests stay in this room.... ...and can watch TV in bed!

Another kitchen shot Fireplace in the kitchen!
