Can't believe ...that someone didn't mention Paul McCartney's Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas time. Insane repetition. Runner up for me is anything by Kenny G.

This paragraph was in today's business section: "The best-performing Minnesota stock this year is little Appliance Recycling Centers of America, the St. Louis Park company that collects and recycles appliances under contract with several local governments and has a growing retail business for...

I saw Phyllis Diller perform 4 or 5 years ago She performed two shows at a local casino north of Minneapolis. The audience was great - either 60+ year old couples or gay men. Her act was straight out of the mid-60's. She made references to Warren Beatty, Liz Taylor, Richard Burton. She needed a...

The Stromberg is a very nice find! I have your set in blonde - bought it off of ebay this spring and Greg in Nebraska picked it up for me. He has it at his house. I also have it in black with red doors. Both are from 1954 or 1955. http://www.tvhistory.tv/1954-Stromberg-Carlson-Brochure2.JPG

This looks like a nice stove. Double oven - 40 inches wide (I'm assuming). Rob Seger - we saw one identical to this a while back at a local sale but a handle was broken. This one is much nicer! I hope everyone had a nice Holiday! http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hsh/253564760.html

Hi - a local antique dealer bought an entire household of Heywood Wakefield furniture recently. There is a link on the craigslist ad below to a photo album of all of the pieces. Nothing really out of the ordinary but most of it is in very good shape, priced right. Jason and I bought the...

Yes - it's annoying OK - Christmas music is a bit annoying, especially when it was 55 degrees and sunny in Minnesota last weekend. I might be more receptive with a little snow on the ground. Our neighborhood is full of gigantic blow up animated Christmas ornaments (snowglobes, snowmen...

Have another Smartie Robert... !!

There are a few Applianceville people interested in old televisions. The link is to a neat 1960 Sylvania Halolight on Craigslist (Chicago). Price is right - nice cabinet. I have this set in blonde and it is very cool. This was also not a hard set to restore. Also attached below is a neat...

Thanks for the compliments - The range works great - everything works (control lights, timer, clock) and it was completely spotless when I got it (still is). The two ovens are easy to clean with the removable panels. I don't think that Greg added the Custom Imperial badge on the main oven door...

Same coffee table Versatronic That is the same coffee table that I have in the rec room. My brother's kids kept treating it like a merry go round - one would get onto it and the other would spin it around. A while back, my partner got some really great vintage furniture from his aunt. I had the...

I got this stove from Greg in Nebraska last fall - thought that it was time to share a picture!

Red Wing Town and Country The bulbous looking thing on the second shelf is a soup tureen. Very tough to find. This one is metallic brown and still has the lid. Attached below is a sample of one (in white). Eva Zeisel designed this and other Town and Country pieces for Red Wing in 1946. The line...

Red Wing #3 OK...one last pottery picture. This shelving unit is in my kitchen eating area. This has some neat Red Wing and Franciscan. I got a large set of Franciscan Starburst from my Grandma Mollie. She only used them for her "sewing club". The other pieces are Red Wing Colonnes (columns)...

Red Wing #2 This is a line of dinnerware that was cool but very unsuccessful for Red Wing called Continental Buffet. This was introduced in 1956 and was only around for a year or so. The large covered platter originally cost $49.00. This was as much as a 45 piece service of 8 of Red Wing...

Fifties furniture is great.... ...but my real interest is 50's/60's pottery. I've been collecting for a long time. The pictures above have neat pottery pieces! I'll attach some neat pics of pieces that I have out on display. Below is a line of Red Wing pottery called Prismatique. Was made from...

Tongue and groove... Kevin - thanks for the compliments on the basement. The entire basement is tongue and groove. The finish isn't glossy but a matte greenish wash over the wood. The brickwork is actually molded cement to look like brick. The picture below is the far wall of the basement - the...

Brown Saltman The west coast designs of Brown Saltman are also some of my favorites. Below is a 1947 GE Musaphonic entertainment center. The cabinet is by Brown Saltman. I have a matching bedroom set. This has been electronically restored and I listen to it often. Plays lp's and 78's only...

Brown Saltman 2 Here is the inside of the GE set.

Eye of the Beholder I've really enjoyed this post. Everyone has such great stuff! I have a house full of this stuff too. I posted the room below on this last year but I've got a few new things. There are a few pieces of Heywood Wakefield, a few Moss lamps, a painting of Jungle dancers (from...
