And let's say you want a period correct telephone for your pre-war to mid 1950s interior design. You know, just like the one Lucy & Ricky had.<br />

This is what you're looking for. A Western Electric Model 302. This one is from November, 1939. It has an E1 handset. And it is missing the clip on piece that holds the phone number (which I call a dial center). But the best part of this phone is - IT WORKS! Come on inside and get the full scoop on these telephones.<br />

OK, so I'm at an auction and this phone comes up. It looked terrible, but I had to have it. I like Ricky and Lucy too. Going once, going twice, sold to Dave the mid-century guy. This is what it looked like when I bought it.<br />

This one is from November, 1939. You can find the date stamped on various parts on the inside. This one had 11-39 stamped on it. This phone was introduced in 1936, and was replacing its predecessor by the tens of thousands by 1937. The body of this one is made of cast zinc instead of the nearly indestructible plastic you're used to (which in the 1940s was called thermoplastic tenite).<br />

A model 302 that you find in the wild (as opposed to ebay) will most likely be close in condition to this one. This zinc bodied example has metal corrosion bubbles under the paint, scratches, and places where the paint has just worn off. The plastic bodied ones were molded in black and the color went all the way through. The could have scratches and wear and tear too, but with patience they will polish up pretty nicely.</div>

The ruggedness and durability built into these phones makes it likely that your phone will work without too much difficulty when you get it home. This one did and its almost 75 years old. All I did was strip the end of the wall cord and connect the red and green wires to a modular cord that I also stripped. These wires are very thin and delicate, but splicing them together can be done.<br />

<br />
One caveat - if your home phone service is provided by a cable company and is called Voice Over Internet Protocol or VOIP
your rotary dial phone won't work without some extra magic stuff to
adapt it. In that case I'd make the phone a really cool table
decoration. I don't know if I'd spend the time and money to adapt it.<br />

<br />
You'll notice the 302 has a straight handset cord. Coiled cords
didn't become "the thing" until the mid 1950s. For your own phone, in
your midcentury house a coiled cord would be acceptable as these phones
were the standard until the early 1950s and upgrades like coiled cords were made along the
way. <br />

<br />
This is what is called the handset. This is a model E1 handset. You'll notice the cup on the mouth end and a difference in the overall shape from what you're used too. The E1 handset didn't last much longer after 1939. If you find a newer one it will probably have a more familiar looking F1 handset or even a modern G1 handset. Google the words Western Electric and F1 or G1 handset and you'll see what I mean. All three handsets would be correct on this phone in your midcentury home.<br />

<br />
So - find yourself a Western Electric model 302. Working or non working, its the one you need if you're doing the pre-war to mid 1950s (or I Love Lucy) in your place.<br />

On October 4th, 1959, in Kansas City, Missouri, Elka Camera was having an <i><b>Out They Go </b></i>at <i><b>Ridiculous Prices</b></i> sale on the 1958 and early 1959 models of various cameras and projectors. Included in that Eisenhower era blow out sale was a
Kodak
Brownie
Movie
Kit, with an 8mm camera sporting a 13mm
f2.3 lens, model 77T. Also included was a two lamp light bar complete with bulbs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I doubt if this particular camera was sold at that store, but if it had been it would have been reduced from $39.95 to the ridiculously low price of $14.98. And it would looked just like this (only new).</div>

The Kodak Brownie Movie Camera f/2.3 Model 2 was, according to the folks at <a href="http://www.brownie-camera.com/moviecam.shtml" target="_blank">The Brownie Camera Page</a>, made from March of 1956 to September of 1960, and had a list price of $37.50. This kit probably carried a price higher than that. And of course you know that in October of 1959 they were being blown out in Kansas City at $14.98 (that's $115 in today's money).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found one for less than $115 of today's money and snatched it up pretty much to create this blog post. I've taken pictures, preserved it for posterity, and played with it all day. Now it's for sale in our thrift store for $45. Get 'em while they're hot!</div>

But now that this room is done we're highly motivated to get more done. Wanna see what we've done so far? Click on in.<br />

The condition is good. The piano hinges that hang the drop leaves are well secured. The sliding mechanisms that support the raised leaves are strong. The table has 50+ years of wear on the plastic table top surface, but is still in good to very good condition. The whole thing could use a good cleaning and a polishing of the table top surface.<br />

<br />
<br />
What a momentous occasion. Firstly a new post after 3 months of inactivity. It's a long story, but really, who cares, right?<br />
<br />
And secondly, I'm mentioning a designer's name after posts and posts claiming I don't know anything about who designed what during the MidCentury era.<br />
<br />
Barney Flagg? Barney Rubble? Again, who cares? It's the Drexel name and the Parallel series (I almost wrote Parallel line. Get it? Parallel lines? Never mind.) that is the draw here.<br />

<br />
<br />
I've mentioned this at least a thousand times (or maybe twice) I do not know designer's names, or names of product lines, or much of the minutiae of the stuff that I like so much. It's just cool stuff to me. Oh sure, I can tell this set is American of Martinsville, but only because it is burned into the side of the drawer. I picked it up at an auction because I liked the look. It was a bonus to find out that it had a "name".<br />

<br />
Do you ever sit back in amazement and wonder how could one twenty year period give birth to so much cool stuff? The chunk of time that I consider most important in my mid-mod mind are the years from 1949ish to 1969ish. After that came what I call the Mod era or the Brady Bunch era.<br />
<br />
This lamp could be sitting right on the cusp between those two eras. Let's look at it in wonder and praise its uniqueness. And it's for sale.<br />

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. You don't have to be so dramatic about it. I've had things to do. Getting a new business started from scratch takes time. But look what came in through the door. It looks like a Knoll. Not a grassy knoll, but a white fuzzy woolen Knoll<br />

So anyway, we get our stuff from a variety of places and one of the places had this offering. I knew it looked Knollish, but you just knever know. Was it a Knoll knockoff or knot?<br />
<br />
I'll knever know, but some pretty knowledgeable people check in here from time to time so maybe they'll know if this Knoll knockoff is a keeper or a with the fishes sleeper. Looky!<br />

You know, the blue collar guy working an 8 - 5 and making a hundred ninety eight fifty a week. The house was furnished (not decorated) in the stuff bought at the "discount" store or out of the Sears catalog. That's my kind of stuff.<br />
<br />
Dig this clock! It's a Seth Thomas and man oh man it is nice. I'm no clock expert and I couldn't tell you when it was made. So consequently I can't say for sure whether it was late 60s and the quartz movement came in it or if it's older and someone added the movement later. But it doesn't matter, because just look at it!<br />

I have my favorite places, and I developed several different circuits to follow when I would go out. Now that I'm a thrift store owner I don't get a chance to get out to the other thrifts as much as I used to. In fact - hardly ever. So now I have to get my fix in other places. Auctions.<br />
<br />
Our store is growing (slowly) and requires a couple hundred pounds of new stuff per week. To that end Wonder Woman and I hit at least 3 - 4 auctions a month if not more. Last Friday we hit the "nice stuff" auction place where we usually buy big pieces of decent furniture. I did not expect to find these guys there.<br />

<a name='more'></a>These guys are in fantastic shape. Some paint is missing here and there, but there's nary a chip on 'em. Two feet tall, and clean too. I'm not sure why I'm attracted to them, but without question they are keepers. I don't know much (nothing really) about Universal Statuary Corp. in Chicago but I'd love to know what you know. Have a look at the new members of the family.<br /><br />

Sometimes the most interesting things show up in your shop. Here's a two fer Tuesday. I got a chrome eyeball floor lamp and a Lucite table lamp. They make me think vintage, but I'm just not sure. Maybe some of the smart people who check in here from time to time will chime in and tell us what we have.<br />

But once it gets so tacky that it's almost cool, that's when I buy.<br />
<br />
I have <strike>no words</strike> a few words to describe my love for this piece. It is molded resin or plastic so I think it might have come out of the 1970s. However, the blades of the swords are metal. So someone's job was to stick metal blades into the still warm plastic. What a great gig.<br />
<br />
The detail is good in that "we're going to make it look like it's a clay sculpture" kind of way. The trying so hard to make it what it's not - is what makes it so good. I love it and it's not for sale.<br />
<br />
Presented in all of it's tackiness. <br />
<br />
Enjoy.<br />

As old stuff goes out new stuff needs to be brought in, and on and on it goes.<br />
<br />
Sure wish I had a popular, well run thrift store. But I don't. I have a so-so, fairly decently run thrift store, and it only requires being fed a couple hundred pounds of stuff a week.<br />
<br />
Interestingly, some of the last several hundred pounds have been faux bamboo. I found myself in possession of a <a href="http://davesmidcenturystuff.blogspot.com/2012/09/henry-link-bali-hai-faux-bamboo.html#more" target="_blank">10 piece set of Henry Link - Bali Hai</a> bedroom furniture, and having sold most of that I now find myself in possession of a Thomasville Faux bamboo dinette set.<br />

I still have a couple of pieces of the Henry Link - Bali Hai hanging around. The person who bought the other six pieces (including the dresser) didn't want the mirrors, or this cool 3 drawer chest with hutch. I did find out that this Bali Hai was made in September of 1979. Not quite as old as I thought it might be, but still quite fun stuff.<br />

<br />
Anyway, I've been trying to price it. I've looked high and low for something like it and just can't. Is it possible that this stuff is from the wonderful 50s or swingin' 60s?<br />
<br />
I don't have the readership that most of my blogging contemporaries have, but I know some smart people check-in here from time to time. So... everybody... what is this... old, or just hard to identify contemporary stuff?<br />

<br />
So we get to the auction, and after having spent maybe fifty bucks on several box lots that included a bunch of Renwal plastic toys from the 40s - 50s, some old flat irons, and some special dolls and teddy bears, the tables come up.<br />
<br />
Turns out they were going to sell them as a set. Oh well! Guess I'll be getting the end tables too. It didn't take too long before bidding got out of my comfort zone. I paid a hundred and twenty five more for them than my previously set limit. But now I have a fairly desirable coffee table. You just don't see these every day.<br />

I know what you're thinking. <i>It's an iron. So what.</i> You're right. But it's a vintage Westinghouse iron with turquoise trim.<br />
<br />
It needed a plug. I suspect that's why they gave it to us. Because it didn't work. So I found a vintage looking plug and stuck it on. This iron kicks out so much retro vibe that it almost doesn't matter that it kicks out about 1100 watts of hot clothes pressing goodness. And since it's old <b>and dangerous</b> it doesn't have any cooling off capability. This bad boy stayed hot to the touch for twenty minutes after I unplugged it. <br />

Oh, I know. You can spend thousands of dollars on Jens Risom sofas, or outfit your vintage living room in refinished Lane Acclaim side and cocktail tables. So what value is an old Westinghouse iron? Well my friend, if I have to explain it to you, I just don't believe you'd understand.<br />

So as you might have heard, Wonder Woman and I have opened a thrift store. Today (Monday) was our first day of operation. It was a successful day, and we sold the nice dark wood bedroom furniture we had on display. Then it was time to restock. Guess we'll have to put out that crappy yellow stuff we bought at that estate sale.<br />
<br />
Short side-note. We went to an estate sale on its final day about half an hour to closing time. We made a deal for the entire remaining contents of this house for a ridiculously low dollar figure. It included the bedroom we sold today, this Henry Link Bali Hai set, an American by Martinsville dresser and matching nightstand, and a huge gob of other stuff. Love estate sales at closing time. Anyway back to the other story.<br />
<br />
So we drag the yellow stuff out of storage, set it up, and I look through the drawers to see if I can find a name. Henry Link and Bali Hai pop out at me. It means nothing. I get home. I'm in bed with the computer on my lap researching Henry Link and what a wonderful surprise. People love this stuff and it seems that it is somewhat scarce. Hooray for me.<br />
<br />
Here are the pictures. Anybody out there got any Bali Hai stories to share?<br />

We'll be right back with . . . more stuff.<br />

A Sneak Peek At Our Inventory.The thrift store that would not be born has met its match. Wonder Woman, her sister (still haven't thought of a clever title for her) and yours truly have all been pulling (hard), and now there's a big 'ol fat thrift store head just about to pop out.<br />
<br />
The thrift store opens on Monday, September 24th and I've thrown together a very limited sneak peek. Dave's MidCentury Stuff : The Retail Store won't make its appearance for awhile, but we're working on it.<br />
<br />
Here then is a limited sneak peek at some of the thrift store stuff.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
This is exactly the kind of stuff you'd expect to find in a thrift store. Bowling accoutrements.<br />
Oh, and when you pronounce accoutrements you should always be pretentious and pronounce it like this:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">aw - coo - tray - maw</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">People
will be so impressed with you, or make fun of you. I forget which.
Anyway, back to the bowling stuff. This is a lady's ball. It's a
Columbia 300. The bag is in very good shape, the shoes are new, and
they're size 9.</span></span></div>

Here's
the top half of a pedestal sink. The part that it sits on is behind it.
It's used, but doesn't have a scratch on it. This baby would be up
around a hundred plus at Lowes. Here it's only fifty bucks.<br />

Didja ever want to go outside and just dig around in the dirt? Good luck finding some. All we have is sand at our house.
So if you decide you want to go out and dig around in the sand we have a
decent selection of hand gardening tools. These cost a buck or two each. And if you have sensitive
hands we even have a couple pair of gloves at 50 cents a pair.<br />

We
have a DOT approved helmet in red, and a helmet in white that is just
different enough from an Imperial Storm Trooper helmet from Star Wars
that I suspect someone was trying to dodge licensing fees. Anyway it's
cool because it still works. It plays some pre-recorded messages, and it
has a microphone so you can speak your own mind while wearing it. And
it looks like we're giving it away (figuratively speaking). How much?
Ten bucks. And fifteen for the DOT approved helmet.<br />

We
have a really nice bedroom set. You get the tall chest, the dresser,
the mirror, two night stands, and a king size headboard and frame. This
is sturdy heavy stuff. No pressed sawdust in this set. How much? How
does five hundred fifty bucks (mattress and box springs not included)
sound to you? Pretty good, eh? Feast your eyes on this.<br />

I
put this picture here so you could see the end tables that go with the
coffee table above, (they're on the right) but it looks like a better
picture of a beige leather recliner, a tropical china cabinet, and a
peek at our pool table. I'm not sure what the tables cost, but it's
reasonable. The recliner is seventy five. The china cabinet is about two
hundred fifty, and the pool table - well let me just tell you about the
pool table.<br />

This is a seven to seven and a half foot (I'm not sure how you
measure them) pay table. The pay mechanism has been removed, and to be
honest this table is a little rough cosmetically.<br />
<br />
BUT . . . you could park cars on it. This dude is heavy. It has a 3/4" slate top, and what looks like 3/4" or 1" plywood
bottom. All four legs are adjustable. It comes with two racks (regular
and nine ball), two sticks, a wall rack, a set of balls, and a piece of
chalk. As I said, it may be a bit rough cosmetically, but you'll never
find a more indestructible pool table for two hundred and fifty bucks.<br />

<br />
Our space includes the area under the sign and the area under the arches on either side of the sign. <br />

The old orange paint is gone. It's much lighter inside. We've gotten the floors cleaned. They're going to need polishing soon. We've gotten shelves up and best of all we have started putting some stuff on the shelves.<br />
<br />
It's getting all thrift store-y now. Have a look at the pix.<br />

Let's call him Dave and let's call her Wonder Woman. After several years of marriage (and having moved to Florida) one day Wonder Woman came home and cried "Dave, I'm going to have a thrift store" and the labor began.<br />
<br />
This story is one of pain and hardship. Of bleeding (money, that is) and compromise. Only the brave and strong of stomach should continue. But if you dare come in you might one day cry to your spouse "I'm going to have a thrift store."<br />

After you've decided that this is really what you want to do, you're going to need a space for your stuff. We found a vacant store front on a fairly busy stretch of highway called Palm Beach Boulevard in Fort Myers Shores, FL. Sounds pretty darn sexy and exotic doesn't it. Well. . . it looks good on the letterhead.<br />
<br />
However the condition of this space left a bit to be desired. We're a non-profit, and we looked for a place we could get into fairly inexpensively. It's about 1800 square feet and since we're not going to have racks and racks of clothes the size will do quite nicely.<br />

I suppose it depends on how you define thrift store, but we might be more of a second hand store.<br />
We will have the everyday, inexpensive items that you would expect to find in a thrift store, but then again we just might have things of inestimable value. Highly collectible, that is.<br />
<br />
We've been hitting the auctions pretty hard and have amassed a pretty decent starting inventory. We also have a fourth unit in this shopping center that we're using for storage. I snuck (or is it sneaked) in and grabbed a couple of shots. When this stuff gets on the shelves I'll take more pictures. Lookie here:<br />

<br />
But as Sir Michael Philip Jagger said: <i>You can't always get what you want.</i><br />
<br />
Okay, I didn't get the phone number that I wanted for the thrift store. But I got close enough. The way things have been going - I'll take close.<br />
<br />
The number in question? I'm a 60s Rock and Roller. Music from the 80s really didn't do much for me, but for decades whenever I've gotten a new phone number I've always tried to get 867-5309. This was of course <i>Jenny</i>'s number.<br />
<br />
The new thrift store's phone number: 267-5309.<br />

<br />
Suppose the customer will remember our number after that? Yeah, me too. <br />
<br />
<b>And in other good news: </b>Wonder Woman's sister (I haven't thought of a clever name for her yet) has flown down to help in the birthing of this obstinate thrift store that doesn't want to be born. Good thing too.<br />

I went to the Florida state Department of Revenue to get our sales tax

surgery crap from a few weeks ago and . . . <br />
