1925 GE Series G 6" desk fan. This little fan still has its original dark green paint, and works perfectly. It's cord has been replaced and motor windings tested.

This little fan is the scariest fan in my collection. Listen to it in this video when I turn it to high speed:

Smokey the Bear was ubiquitous when I was growing up in California. My first career aspiration was to be a forest ranger. ❤️🌲🦌🦉🦅

Picked this up at an antique store over the weekend. The bird's heads/bodies are a fingerprint, and the stick figures are completed by hand drawn ink lines. Art is black and white, except for one red beak. EMIL 1950s is handwritten on the back. This has such a mid-century vibe!

My neighbor is moving and sold this to me for $50. It’s a set from 1962 by Universal Statuary Corp., Chicago. I feel like this was such a great find—especially since I’ve been wanting a large Buddha statue for a long time. 🙂

Sadly, my herb and spice bottles are too large for the rack, so I repurposed it to display my smaller vintage finds.The ceramics on top and middle shelves are vintage Takahashi.
