It's in stunning cosmetic condition, but needs some servicing which I'm happy to do. If you have any experience working on audio equipment from this era, I could use some advice on it. It's labeled as an RCA Victor New Vista. I'm not an expert on furniture, but it seems to be a pretty nicely constructed and finished model. I doubt it was low end. Namely: The turntable turns weakly on its own, it…
Been collecting for a few years. Collection ranges from LE Smith, Fenton, Viking, Empoli, and a few imports sprinkled in here and there. Finally got a basement where my wife doesn’t care how I decorate submitted by /u/Icy_Huckleberry8599 [link] [comments]
Curious about this piece my Dad purchased in the 1960s. Tag reads ‘Distinguished Upholstery by Heritage’. Pile still has decent depth, cushions in great shape (filled with a trillium or some type of fill ~not down~). Dimensions 96” Width 32.5” Depth 26.5” Height Is it worth the effort of selling? How popular are pieces like this these days? submitted by /u/pinkmyst93 [link] [comments]
Thrifted from somewhere? Possibly from my eccentric father in law’s eclectic collection of things. Bonus kitten tax. Edit to add: it didn’t work when I bought it, so hubby replaced the flint. submitted by /u/minimoundsbars [link] [comments]

We have had this for a little while, but my Grandma left it to me. I think it’s from the early ‘70s. I couldn’t find a mfg on it, but I love it all the same. The china is a mix of hers and ours, tea cups, cameras, etc were all hers. Grandfather was a studio photographer. submitted by /u/rjross0623 [link] [comments]
It has a few scratches on the legs - but pretty decent condition - any insight into brand? Can’t find it on underside. I got this at the thrift so no idea on anything - seems like veneer submitted by /u/Due_Tough_1093 [link] [comments]
These absolutely gorgeous vintage retro 1954 Al Hirschfeld Movieland tumblers were just sitting on the shelf for $1.35 each. You can bet that I will be stalking this thrift store for a few days to see if they put out the rest. They often do this to sell good stuff but they break up sets. submitted by /u/Glassaddict666 [link] [comments]
I found these on FBM. I was really confused about the legs and profile until I found a picture of them in a 1950s article... they’re TV/card tables! I had to stage it like the original image and share because they are such an interesting snapshot of 50s design and lifestyle. These are so convenient - why did they stop making stuff like this? submitted by /u/NoAssociate2400 [link] [comments]
Perfect working condition, with the original operating guide book! Speakers perfectly detach and can be mounted, only $125! Edit: picked up* submitted by /u/Hopeful_Lemon9777 [link] [comments]
