Vintage Desk.  I like this desk.  It looks a lot like the one I have at my house.  Nice Danish styling and tapered legs.  Useful but decorative.  Seller says it’s wooden and in fine condition, but I am sure that is veneer.  Mine cleaned up really nicely with Restor-A-Finish.  (I am not paid by Restor-A-Finish, but I am willing to sell out.)  The top of my desk is not even wood veneer, so I bought some glass for the top, which camouflages it nicely while providing some protection.  It was cheap and worth it.

$30 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Wooden Desk.

Postal Sorting Table.  This is the kind of thing I love to see on Craigslist.  Who would not want this in their house?  Sure, it weighs 400 lbs, would take up my entire living room, and I have no practical use for it at all.  What is your point, exactly?  I want it.  It was just removed from service at the Armstrong, Missouri Post Office and was made in 1956.

$300 OBO in Moberly (30 minutes north of Columbia).  Here’s the link: Postal Sorting Table.

Matching Lamps.  These have a sort of newish look to them, but I’m reading the details and I think they are vintage.  I like the shade.  It looks vintage as well.  They would be great bedside lamps, don’t you think?  Seller says they’re in excellent condition.

$30 for both in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Matching Deco Lamps.
