Authentic, Vintage, Teak, 1953, Crawford Company of Jamestown New York, Atomic-era, Mid Century Modern Table with Two Extra Leaves, Two Captain’s Chairs and Four Dining Chairs. Six Chairs in Total!
UPDATE: Many of you have asked and I’m listening. So as of right now I am offering FREE delivery to the following cities/areas: San Francisco, East Bay, Peninsula, 880 Corridor and 680 Corridor. Out of these areas? Let’s talk.
Selling Price:
$1000.00
Condition: Used, Very Good
Dimensions:
Width: 39”
Dining Length:
Without leaves: 64”
With leaves: 101”
Height: 30”
Okay, I really don’t want to part with this piece, but we simply don’t have room for it in our new house.
This is a gorgeous, authentic, 1953 atomic-era, mid century modern table manufactured by the Crawford Furniture Company of Jamestown N.Y.
I have not been able to verify why there is also a tag for the Herald Furniture Company on one of the chairs, but I know Crawford purchased many competitors when the furniture companies of Jamestown started to decline. I have to figure they purchased Herald, but can not figure out why both tags are attached.
It comes complete with two extra leaves, turning this from a 5.5’ table into an 8.5’ table. You can easily sit ten of your closest friends or enemies at this table. Should you chose the latter make sure all sharp instruments are snug in a drawer - I would hate to see this table be the victim of a dinner party brawl.
It comes complete with two captain chairs and four dinner chairs, each of which I have recovered in a great, retro print.
This is a used piece and shows some normal wear and tear for being almost 60 years old. I chose not to refinish the wood as it truly doesn’t need it, and the blemishes add to the authenticity of the piece.
This baby is heavy, and you will need at least two people to move it. If this table is taken care of properly (no hot plates on the beautiful surface, y’all!) it will last for many, many years to come. This is no Ikea table.
Please let me know if you have any questions — I’m here to help.
Thank you.
SOLD!
Authentic, Mid-century Modern 30-piece Multi-Colored Stemware Glassware Set. Yes, I said THIRTY PIECE!
Price: $80
Condition: Excellent
Okay, these are soooo cool and I had to sleep on the idea of getting rid of them before I could post this.
As you can see, this is a 30-piece set of stemware from the 1950’s-1960’s in excellent, used condition: no chips/cracks.
There are eight colors in total, and four different cocktail glasses in each color:
As seen in the pictures, the dark blue color is missing the Aperitif and the Shot glass. Other than that this set is in near perfect vintage condition.
What does this mean for you? Well this means you can have a party with twenty nine of your closest friends and have the glassware to accommodate everyone and every drink. So in other words, your popularity is about to shoot through the roof.
The reason I am going to part with these is because I don’t have 29 friends, and have not once used these glasses. They deserved to be used as they’re supposed to be used: to get a whole lot of people a whole lot of intoxicated. Can’t you see it now? Have a theme party … say, a Mad Men party, throw in your favorite 50’s cocktail station on Pandora and mix up a huge batch of gimlets for your friends. Insta-hit.
Okay, okay. I’m almost convinced I want to keep them now.
Get on it.
Email me with questions.
SOLD!
Authentic 1950’s-1960’s Mid-Century Bedside Table
Price: $25.00
Condition: Used, Very Good
Good lines and in great shape. I’ve only had this piece for a few months, and it came from an estate in San Francisco. This is a good, economical piece of furniture to use as a catch-all/bookshelf on the side of your bed. Kinda like I have been.
Authentic Vintage Sparklets of London Seltzer / Spritzer Bottle with Extras
Price: $30.00
Condition: Used, Good
Man, as I add more stuff it’s getting harder to do so.
This has been with me for a long time, but I received an awesome automatic seltzer maker for Christmas and haven’t used this bad boy since.
The top has started leaking on me recently, and I have not put in the time to fix it. That being said, this baby is one hefty, durable S.O.B. It will outlive all of us, as long as the next owner is as kind to it as I have been.
I like the look of this bottle as-is, but the new owner might want to give it a cleaning. Might not. Up to you.
As you can see this piece comes with a couple extra Sparklets nitrous canisters and an extra cracker.
Be the hit at your next soiree with this sexy piece of European drinking history.
Authentic, Antique Arcoroc France Depression Glass “Pink Swirl” 6-piece Salad Bowl Set
Price: $40.00
Condition: Like New
Another item I hate to part with but figure it will be better in someone else’s house.
This set is in near mint condition and each piece has the “Arcoroc France” stamp in the base of the bowl.
It’s absolutely stunning, and will make a great addition to anyone’s Depression Glass collection.
There is one large serving bowl and five matching salad bowls. I have the sneaking suspicion you can put stuff other than soup in these, though. I’m thinking fresh berries with whipped cream …
These will make the collector in your life (or you!) very, very happy.
Authentic Vintage Hawaiian Monkey Pod Wood Dish Set.
Price: $30.00
Condition: Used, Excellent

Another awesome find! Authentic, Lane Co. mid century drop-leaf side table.

In other words, this table is in extraordinary condition, and will make an amazing addition to anyone’s mid century set-up.
SALE PENDING!
Vintage Mannequin torso with metal base
Price: $30.00
Condition: Used, Fair
I bought this pretty(??) lady for my eBay sales because the price was right.
I’m extending the price to you.
She does not have legs or arms.
Someone took some artistic liberties and painted her head and face, but if you add some accessories like I have, she dolls up quite nicely.
Plus, the price is right.
SOLD!
Authentic, Vintage 1964 Magnovox Record Stereo Console with all Original Paperwork, Bill of Sale, Warranty and Extra Needle!
Price: $300.00
Condition: Used, Very Good
Dimensions:
Length: 50”
Width: 19”
Height: 30”
I picked this beauty up at an estate sale a while back. The best part? The couple who owned this piece of furniture had never had:
a) pets
b) children
Not that there is anything wrong with pets and kids, but we all know both have the uncanny knack of demolishing resale values.
Not this time. This thing is in excellent condition, plays perfectly and is ready for a new owner with lots and room for cool, retro record players. Get the dust off your old Elvis records — this baby’s ready for action.
SOLD!
Authentic, Vintage Mid-Century Modern Table Lamp and Optional, Custom Shade
Selling Price: $30.00
Condition: Used, Reconditioned, Very Good
I picked this little cutie up at an estate sale with the intention of refinishing the shade. Which I did. But then I got an absurdly overwhelming addiction to lamps, and have far too many. So this one didn’t make the cut, but I imagine it will make someone as happy as it made me.
Everything works and it’s ready to go, but I would recommend a light cleaning to get this little patootie sparkling again.
