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.

Yellow Rocker.  Really cool with that side detail!  I like it.  The upholstery looks like it’s in good shape, and all the buttons seem to be included.  Nice.

$65 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: 1950′s Yellow Rocker.

Cedar Chest.  I’ve seen a few of these come up with the mid-century detailing.  It’s nice to have a cedar chest for blankets and wool clothes.  I love the cedar smell.

$85 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Lane Blonde Cedar Chest.

Blonde Chairs.  3 chairs- two without arms and one with arms (I like it when they call them Captain’s Chairs).   Nice upholstery, I think.

$45 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Blonde Chairs.

Vintage Chairs.  Two of them, and the seller says they’re in good shape.  I like the vinyl lace design.  These would be nice for a kitchen.  I’m sure that’s where they’re from.

$35 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: 2 Vintage Chairs.

Looking for a reason to head to St. Louis this weekend?

Kitchen Table Set.  I love the detail on the pink and slate tabletop, and the extra chrome detail on the blue chairs.  (I really love the metallic blue vinyl.  I think it’s my favorite color for metallic vinyl.)

$100 in St. Louis.  Here’s the link: Retro Dining Room Set.

Ceramic Punch Bowl.  The seller thinks you could use it as a soup tureen as well.  I’m not sure how big the cups are, but I like the color.  Very 70s.

$10 in Festus.  Here’s the link: Ceramic Soup Set.

Tweed and Metal Chairs.  Looks like they’re in good shape.

$125 for both in Olivette.  Here’s the link: Retro Vintage Tweed Chairs.

Black and White Chair.  Seller says it’s in good condition with no tears.

$30 in St. Louis Hills.  Here’s the link: Great Vintage Black and White Chair.

High Back Dining Chairs.  There are four of them.  If you have $300 to spend on vintage 1970s style dining chairs, you could do much worse.

$300 in Illinois (?).  Here’s the link: 1970′s White High Back Dining Chairs.

4 Vintage Yellow Chairs.  Very 70s!  I bet they’re comfortable too.

$65 and they deliver.  Here’s the link: Vintage Kitchen Chairs.
