Hey everybody! Want to see some more cool vintage stuff from my den.
You all might remember me. I was the cool kid inviting you into my pad, showing off his neat-o vintage record player last weekend...



We had a lot of fun so I thought I'd show you a few more props that I've picked up over the years that were lurking around my lair.



Vintage movie posters. I have a few of these... (sorry the lava lamp doesn't work) but it does sort of put you in the mood doesn't it?

BTW, all the paneling in these shots is genuine, fake wood.









Here's a quite corner for me to reflect in, and to contemplate my long, lost Muse...

(BTW the vintage Kodak ad seemed to draw a lot of attention last week during my "starving artist" stunts, so I thought I'd let you get a better look at it...)



I don't seriously collect a lot of this stuff, I just like to buy what i like...old magazines for example...



I have tons of these...but the 'Photoplay' cover is just a ruse, as some of you might have learned from grade school...



When the lights grow dim, and the Mods aren't looking, I like to turn the page...

;)



Don't tell. Okay?

16. A whole house full, but no Digi Cam right now.
I have a Record Player like yours, made by Telefunken in 1958.

The whole house is retro, and I mean the whole house.

Here's a couple:

On the wall:


In the garage, one of these:

33. Ahhhh! Princess Phones!
What fond memories...If you check the date stamp on the bottom of the phone, and it's between 2-77 and 12-79, I built the ringer...
And I had a Series 500 wall phone like that in red, too. I called the "Hotline"...
My bedroom phone is a "300" desk set, dated 11-40.

31. I remember that stereo too.
You've got some pretty cool stuff, Longgrain. I love that kind of shit too, though I don't have as much as I might like. Is that a Nancy Sinatra record I see?


Barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta look hard.
