Thanks Rue! The sad thing is, I was out house shopping and stopped at an open house, little 50s ranch. I noticed that there was one set of glass knobs, I asked the realtor about that, he said the daughter inherited the house, she and her boy friend took all the glass door knobs and tossed them in the trash, then put some cheep fake pewter knobs in there place. The realtor made the same face as me, and as all of you are making as you read this!Originally Posted by rue

I bought this a few days ago. 1938 Ericsson 162 (NOS handset & replacement cord, recently serviced).
Also this dropside toaster (It arrived in the original box). It needed a bit of a clean, but polished up wonderfully. It toasts a mean crumpet!

Maybe I'm delirious from searching ebay, but I found this auction hilarious:

Wow! Even the nail polish. Such a deal. I can see somebody buying that as a "prom kit" for their daughter. To which Jasmine would gratefully reply:
"Moth-errr, that is like. you know, sooooo out of Carrie. Omigod, why don't you just like pour pig blood all over me or something!"

People think they are so rebellious and original, when really they are just banal, boring and dumb.
I like the 'no self-respecting socialite' part

1940s Terrestrial Globe on a Black Glass Deco Stand:
Mint condition. Dates from 1945 to 1948. I'm totally stoked!
