ve any plans for them right now but you never know this isn t actually a recent find i found this plant stand at a swap meet for a dollar it needs a repaint that i just haven t got around to doing i found this circular plant stand a few days ago at a thrift store for 4 50 it too needs a repaint none of the welds on either stand seem to be broken so i think both were a pretty good deal posted by unknown at 9 33 pm 11 comments labels antiques furniture tuesday september 29 2009 vintage child s kick scooter about 5 years ago i found a kid s kick scooter in my grandma s barn i though i would take it home and fix it up i m not really sure how old it is i think it is pretty old because you don t see too many with the wooden foot board as you can see it was in pretty rough shape the paint was pretty far gone and a lot of rust all over the forks were bent out of shape the fender had a good size dent in it the wood foot bed was cracked underneath sad shape all around so i pulled it apart when i got it home and removed as much rust as i could i primed it and was going to restore it but it got shelved so i could work on some other projects a few months ago i started to work on it again i thought i would give it a western theme not sure why just thought it would go well with the wood foot board here is what i did to it sanded and re primed it one more time straighted the frame banged out the dent in the fender added a brace to keep the forks straight painted it with colonial red and ivory paint clear coated it polished the brake and added a spring to make it work better made new foot boards made leather grips for the handle bars and a leather pad for the center stand added all new hardware i think it turned out well i could have done a better job but i was very ready to end this project it seemed to take forever to get it done here it is you can see the forks are now straight and the brace added the new foot board i carved a bucking bronco image in it i stained and top coated it i added upholstery tacks to add some traction and to dress it up a bit i think it fits the theme the new leather grips no more dent in the fender the tires are still in decent shape i didn t touch the whitewalls they are scratched up but i just thought i would leave it like that here it is with another kid s stamped metal scooter we found at a sale snagged it for 8 bucks which is a great deal i don t think this one will get touched for awhile not until a lot of other projects get done like a shasta one note the paint i used sucks there is not other way to say it it is already started chipping during reassembly even though i took my time and tried to do a nice job spraying it the paint is rustoleum painter s touch it is way too soft not tough paint at all i will never use this paint again unless it is something decorative that will never ever get touched ultimately i m not sure how much use this scooter will see even though i added a brace it is not the best riding scooter the forks have some play in them and it probably isn t the safest thing in the world that and it weighs a ton for something it s size the stamped metal scooter is a lot lighter and maybe a better scooter to play with i think i will just keep it around because my dad may have played with it as a kid posted by unknown at 7 36 am 7 comments labels toys vintage western friday august 28 2009 the dumpster desk while going to pick up a craigslist bed for calvin we spotted this desk parked next to a dumpster we pulled this beast home the desk is pretty heavy and quite large it was a trick just getting it home i had to take it apart just to get it into the house the desk is pretty simple but does have some danish lines to it i m unsure who made it or when the maker s tags are missing i really like the handles on it luckily i found the original keys in the drawer as you can see the top was very sun damaged dry and cracked i recently sanded the desk completly down then applied a tung oil finish i also polished all of the brass hardware sorry for the bad photos but the bedroom is kinda dark i think the tung oil really brought out the grain really well i was surprised the top came out so nicely overall i am pretty happy with the way it turned out i think it will be a welcome work space in our home a couple of recent additions for the desk include this moonbeam clock i bought for molly for our anniversary they reproduce them but i really like this original with the dark face the clock works well and the light still works during the alarm it was a good buy and looks great on the desk our friend mrs j had this small tin toy globe that she no longer wanted i think we pinned it to the late 1930 s it has a few dents and a bit of rust but i can t complain i love it so now we are on a bit of a mission to fill out the desk with vintage items a desk lamp a pen set waste paper basket and maybe a vintage in out box will be great things to find to hell the hunt is half the fun posted by unknown at 7 21 am 7 comments labels antiques electronics thursday august 27 2009 our trailer blog launch we have launched our vintage shasta blog i figured a new blog dedicated to louise was needed for several reasons for one i m sure that there are folks that visit here that do not care about camper stuff two there will i hope be enough activity to warrant it s own blog i hope that it will not be taking all of my time away from the addiction i am sure that it will be somewhat time consuming at first but will die down after a while it won t be a post a day type of blog maybe a post a month perhaps a bit more if there are some cool trailer links or online research to post about the whole thing won t just be about our trailer if you dig the vintage trailer stuff be sure to visit you can find the 1964 shasta louise blog here http 1964shastalouise blogspot com posted by unknown at 2 58 am 3 comments labels link travel trailers tuesday august 18 2009 our new 1964 shasta success trailer watch 2009 is over for us i will give the quick version of the story i found this shasta listed on craigslist friday afternoon i contacted the seller a few hours after it was posted they only wanted a 1000 for it the only thing was it was 6 hours away in southern illinois they replied quickly and we made the long trek on saturday we left wisconsin at 8 am that morning and returned with trailer in tow at 1 o clock sunday morning that was one long day a bit about the trailer it is a 1964 shasta 16 sc it was only owned by one family we met the original owner he bought it new in 1964 not far from where he lived the shasta is in good shape for the most part of course there are a few issues with water damage i would be surprised if there wasn t it is missing the iconic shasta wings and will have to find replacements for them the back window was taken out and an ac unit was stuffed in there that will go and will have to find a replacement back window the only other change is the original boomerang cabinet handles have been replaced no sweat there either we look forward to the restoration i won t go into to much detail here i hope to launch another blog dedicated to louise that is her new nickname molly gave her it was bought in 64 in st louis st louis louise it makes sense to us i hope to have the new blog up soon the reason the for the seperate blog is so that there isn t an overflow of trailer information on this blog i m sure that there are folks that don t care for the trailer stuff and just want to see mid century stuff normally shown here i will keep the restoration and other trailer information over there for those that want to see it here are a few quick shots taken today there will be much more on the new site so stay tuned for the trailer blog posted by unknown at 12 58 am 13 comments labels travel trailers tuesday august 4 2009 recent finds vintage tv antenna sorry for the crummy picture it isn t in too bad of shape not sure that i could actually get it to work but it is a nice display item needs a bit of cleaning up we were watching the 2nd season of mad men and there is one just like it on top of harry crane s tv i paid 3 bucks or so for it at a flea market this ice crusher was something that i always wanted but never found a good one for a good price this one is in pretty good condition and it was free another find from mrs j there is a small amount of pitting in the chrome top but i can t complain the large red and white butter dish was a gift to molly from her sister we found the other container up north i m calling it a sugar bowl because we don t know what it is it does have a handle on the back not really sure the bottom of the sugar bowl has the jiffy ware logo stamp on it i m not quite sure that the butter dish is from the same company but it makes a nice set molly paid a few bucks for it so it wasn t a bad deal this ball pitcher was another gift from mrs j she actually had two of these but we couldn t justify taking both what the heck are we going to do with two this one is in real nice shape the other had a chip in the spout so this was the winner posted by unknown at 8 31 am 4 comments labels antiques barware ceramics wednesday july 29 2009 recent finds we did our annual trip up north and mrs j was kind enough to send us home with a few freebies boy do we love her salt and pepper collection of various shapes and sizes two sets of ball salt and pepper sets brand new and in the box far as i can tell these are probably from the 70 s here are a couple links to ball sets http

another post posted by unknown at 9 28 pm no comments labels antiques wednesday july 22 2009 recent finds we have had some pretty great finds lately i won t go crazy and show them all at once so here are just two you can see from him sitting on a cd that this ceramic panther is pretty small i m sure that he is from japan given the paint job he was only 4 bucks sorry there is a bit of wash out from the flash but this is one of our wacky finds a ceramic hanging wall planter the wacky part is the bird being bright red and the back being chartreuse with the black splatter glaze what a wierd color combo there is a chip out of his tail but heck he was only 50 cents at a garage sale i m not sure what we are going to do with him but i couldn t leave it there for 50 cents posted by unknown at 2 01 pm no comments labels antiques ceramics wednesday june 10 2009 the best travel trailer ever i have been kinda hot on travel trailers lately you know that time of year when you want to get out and about doing some searching i came across this trailer it is the 1960 holiday house model x later named the geographic those lines are so awesome that big wrap around front window wow this thing is neat bardy azadmard put together a nice site called www 1960prototype com showing his trailer and some of the history behind it some restro pictures and quite a few ads are also on the site man i wish i could get my hands on one of these if they had made more then one posted by unknown at 8 25 am 6 comments labels travel trailers tuesday june 9 2009 wealth of information we were recently given a ton of magazines from the 40 s 50 s and 60 s molly s aunt and uncle cleaned out a old lady s home and saved all of these from the trash they thought we might be able to use them and they sure were right thanks guys there are a lot of womans magazines such as mccalls ladies home journal and mademoiselle these are great to look at and have some real funny things in them some of the recipes are some of the worst food i have ever seen some really nasty stuff the ads are the best the really best part is the better homes and gardens from the late forties fifties and early sixties they are great i haven t even been able to get through all of them yet i hope to share many of the things in these publications the better homes and gardens have enough in them to fill a blog alone not everyone can get their hands on these mags so i figure that there is much to share i know i have learned a lot from looking at these posted by unknown at 11 21 am 4 comments labels better homes gardens magazine
