Retro CoMO

I know, I know.  I’ve been neglecting this blog.  Who knows what we’ve missed in the past few weeks?  But I will try to make up for it with this extra-long post and get back into things as we move into holiday season.

Complete Danish Dining Room Set.  Includes 8 chairs, a breakfront (hutch), buffet with glass on top, and a table with three leaves and protective covers.  Nice, and just in time for the holidays.  I like the detail on the back of the chairs.

$500 in Boonville.  Here’s the link: Complete Dining Room Set.

Vintage 50s Hotpoint Fridge.  In working condition.

$200 in Jefferson City.  Here’s the link: Vintage 50′s Hotpoint Fridge.

1950s Frigidaire Electric Stove.  Working condition.

$300 in Perry, Missouri.  Here’s the link: 1950s Frigidaire Electric Stove.

Formica Table.  Chrome and formica kitchen table with leaf included.  Seller says it’s in excellent condition.

$45 in Sturgeon (20 minutes north of Columbia).  Here’s the link: 50′s Dining Table.

Danish Chairs.  Burnt orange fabric with minor wear and tear, says the seller.  You could have these reupholstered.  You could even do it yourself if you were so inclined.  I like the legs and the tufting.  Seller says that they swivel and rock.

$50 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Burnt Orange Swivel Rockers.

Wicker Fan Chair.  I love these, but the evidence of my love is well-documented.

$25 in Centralia (about 20 minutes northeast of Columbia).  Here’s the link: High Back Wicker Chair.

Three Piece Rattan Settee.  I really like this.  Made in the Philippines in the late 1940s with woven seat, nice condition.  No cushions, but they should not be too expensive to replace.

$95 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: 1940s Rattan Set.

Ashtray Stands.  The seller has a couple more in the ad, but these I liked.  $30 for the chrome one and $25 for the brown ceramic with the wire frame.

In Jefferson City.  Here’s the link: Vintage Ashtray Stands.

AMI Jukebox.  Good condition and works.  Plays 78 RPM records.  Weighs 238 lbs.

$800 in Moberly (30 minutes north of Columbia).  Here’s the link: AMI Jukebox.

Bell & Howard AutoLoad 8mm Projector.  The ad does not say if it works.

$25 in Boonville.  Here’s the link: Bell & Howell Movie Projector.

Four Mid-Century Chairs.  Black leather seats and backs, and the seller says they’re in excellent shape.  The price still seems a bit high to me.

$325 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Four mid-century Danish chairs.

Dresser Set. I love these!  The shape, the style, the condition- it’s all awesome.  Perfect Danish modern.  And they’ll hold a lot of clothes.  You’ll wish you had a mirror over the lowboy, but it doesn’t need to match.  Go creative and hang a bunch of hand mirrors above it in a pattern.

$250 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Bedroom Set- 2 Dressers.

Bar Stools. There are three of them with the chrome and the white vinyl seats.  The vinyl appears to be in good shape and you can’t beat this price.  I like the detail in the seat backs.  These would fit with a lot of different kinds of decor.

All 3 for $15 in Jefferson City.  Here’s the link: Bar Stools.

Vintage Exercise Bicycles.  They’re cheap and I bet they have a smaller footprint than the newer ones.  I like the vintage style of them (especially the one with the big leather seat- I don’t know why) and I like the color.  They’ll work just as well as the new ones!

$30 in Kirksville, Missouri (Kirksville Craigslist).  Here’s the link: Vintage Exercise Bikes.

Kroehler Dresser.  Vintage blond wood lowboy dresser.  Seller lists the dimensions and says it is in good condition.  I like this style.  This is another credenza-y one that could be used as a TV stand without looking like it came out of your bedroom.  Or put your TV on top of it in your bedroom.  The possibilities are limitless.

$30 in Moberly (30 minutes north of Columbia).  Here’s the link: 8 Drawer Kroehler Dresser.

End Table.  The seller says that this is a slab of granite and weighs 175 lbs, which is crazy heavy for what look like thin tapered metal legs.  The seller also says that it rotates.  Weird!  Cool!  I like it.

$125 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Modern End Table.

Kitchen Table.  Vintage Formica table with chrome legs.  Looks like a drop-leaf style.  Seller says it has no marks or scratches, and the price is good for this style, even without the chairs.

$40 in Jefferson City.  Here’s the link: Vintage Kitchen Table.

Table and Chairs.  These pictures suck, but the price is pretty good despite the apparent condition of the chairs.  Black vinyl and what I’m guessing is a fake woodgrain tabletop.  I still like these chairs even if they’re in bad shape.  Hey, $15!

$15 in Kirksville (from Kirksville Craigslist).  Here’s the link: Table and two chairs.
