Pair of Vintage Travel Trunks with Decals


Sweet pair of vintage trunks covered in travel decals (second one is hiding in background). I nabbed these at a local thrift store. One has more decals on it than the other but both are very similar. Look to be from around the 1940's or so. Better close-up pics to come soon.
UPDATE: Trunks are SOLD!!!

SwissAir Travel Bag


Found this neat old SwissAir travel bag the other day. Made from blue vinyl and has plenty of room for small things, could be used as a carry on bag. Looks to be from the 60's or 70's.

Vintage Eames Style Lounger




Score of the day!! I got a great deal on this Eames style lounger chair at a yard sale today (only $15!!!!!). The wood is nice but the leather is torn and dry. It has a made in Sweden sticker on the base but I can't find any other maker marks or stickers. Could be a Selig? I plan on reupholstering it so I may find other hints under the pads. Add this one to the "to do" list.

NOS Stoprite Brake Lining Set and FoMoCo Regulator


Picked up these NOS parts at a yard sale today. FoMoCo 15v/30a regulator number 2700015 and a Stoprite brake lining set sold through Western Auto Supply Co. The brake set fits late 30's early 40's Fords and Mercurys and is complete with new rivets and instruction booklet for mounting.

Lothar and the Hand People


I saw this record in the bin at a thrift store and just had to buy it. The cover alone is just great! 1960's psychedelic rock filled with MOOG synthesizer and other trippy instruments.

Herman Miller Padded Arm Shell Chair


I found this chair the other weekend at a thrift store. It is a Herman Miller padded fiberglass arm shell chair with a date stamp of 1969. I believe this was the "La Fonda" model. It is in pretty good shape with only one rip in it and a bit of the vinyl is separating from the foam.

1970's "Turn On" Motorcross Dirtbiker 3-Ring Binder




Neat vintage 3 ring binder I found at a thrift store today. Looks to be from the 1970's. It is covered in great images of dirtbike riders, a guy and lady having a picknik and other random fun. Has no makers marks on it so I can't really find any more info on when it was made, but it does say "Turn On" down the spine.

Vintage Antelope Head Barometer




Stopped at a few yard sales this morning and found this old barometer. It is made from molded plastic with an antelope head on top. Says "Made in France" on the back. I can find similar ones online but with a deer head, not an antelope. Gotta find a place to hang it up inside the house.
UPDATE: Barometer is SOLD!!!

1987 Doggy Style - The Last Laugh 12" LP


Found this one at a thrift store today. It's supposed to be rare to find after doing a bit of research online. 1987 album of the band Doggie Style called "The Last Laugh". Skate-Punk music outta Cali, still has the original photo insert with lyrics.
