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.

Pink Formica Table and 4 Chairs.  Pink!  I’m not the kind of girl who buys everything in pink, but when it comes to vintage stuff, pink is perfect.  I love these!  Look at the detail on the chairs and how the mottled fabric color matches the top of the table.  The seller says the table is in good condition, but the chairs need some minor repairs.  Love it!  I love those hairpin legs, too.  Just love all around for this set.

$150 in Jefferson City.  Here’s the link: Pink Formica Table and 4 Chairs.

Wurlitzer Model 3000 Jukebox.  Oh, we all want a jukebox, right?  The seller says it’s in excellent condition and that you can choose 500 records out of their collection of 1000 45 RPM records to go with this jukebox at the asking price.  But then you have to move it yourself.

$1500 in Mexico, Missouri.  Here’s the link: 1960s Wurlitzer Model 3000 Jukebox.

Vintage GE Electric Oven/Range.  Working condition but needs a power cord.  Hmm.

$50 in Jefferson City.  Here’s the link: Vintage GE Electric Stove/Range.

Vintage 50′s Hotpoint Fridge.  Working condition with no seal issues.  Has all the original pieces- shelves, racks, etc.

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

Retro Vintage Yellow Vinyl Chair.  I think we’ve seen this one before, but if not, you could have a set (if you bought the other one).  Or you get a second chance on a yellow vinyl chair!  You know I love that yellow vinyl.  (Sigh, yellow vinyl bar!)

$80 (no location listed).  Here’s the link: Retro Vintage Yellow Vinyl Chair.

I hope you are having a great summer!  Mad Men started last night (and if you like vintage modern, you should be watching Mad Men).  I am busy with my other pet projects, and kind of startled to realize that it’s already the last week of July.  How did that happen?  I have a couple of things that I want to do for this blog this summer, but we’ll see if I manage to get ‘em done.  In the meantime, let’s try to catch up with local Craigslist!

Vintage Couch.  Kind of Hollywood Regency, which I think blends very well with vintage modern.  I also love this color.  The catch is that the seller recently had fleas in the house, and thinks this is a reasonably compromised price.  That’s up to you.  Seller has had it cleaned and sprayed.

$75 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: 1970s Vintage Couch.

Corner Table.  Seller says it’s real wood and authentic, but needs refinishing.  The price is decent and I like it.  Get it!

$10 in Salisbury (about an hour northwest of Columbia).  Here’s the link: Retro end/corner table.

Black Leather Bar Stools.  Seller has three of them.  I like this style.  I know it’s very 70s, but I think it works for vintage modern and isn’t your usual vinyl and chrome soda fountain thing, you know?  But I don’t have a bar.

$20 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: 3 Barstools.

Whiskey Barrel Chairs.  Here we go again!  I’ve posted whiskey barrel furniture twice before, and both times it was a hit.  I still get emails about those other posts, so let’s be clear: I’m posting a link to the Craigslist ad.  I am not personally selling them (or anything).  (And if you know anyone who has some of these to sell, tell them to investigate all options, because there are clearly many buyers out there for vintage whiskey barrel furniture, and some willing to pay for international shipping.)

$100 in Russellville (30 minutes west of Jefferson City).  Here’s the link: Retro Swivel Whiskey Barrel Chairs.

Vintage GE Hotpoint Fridge.  Working condition.  All original pieces including shelves, racks, and compartments.

$250 in Jefferson City.  Here’s the link: Vintage 50s Hotpoint Fridge.

Executair Travel Bar.  These aren’t that rare, even in mint condition, and this price is about what you’d pay if you saw one of them at a nearby antique mall.  They are pretty cool, and if you know a Mad Men fan who has a birthday coming up, one of these (stocked) might make somebody happy (in more than one way).

$30 in Centralia (20 miles northeast of Columbia).  Here’s the link: Executair 707- The Original Travel Bar

A couple of items from the same Brookfield, Missouri, location posted on the Kirksville Craigslist.  Proceeds benefit the Linn County Historical Society.  Local pick-up only.

Coldspot Refrigerator.  Does not work, but the seller thinks it could be fixed.  I think the price is high for a non-working fridge, but maybe you can use it for something interesting.

$100 in Brookfield.  Here’s the link: Vintage Coldspot Refrigerator.

General Electric Stove.  Works (except the oven light).

$150 in Brookfield.  Here’s the link: Vintage General Electric Stove.

A couple of items on Craigslist popped up.  Both are located in Fulton, Missouri, which is about a 30 minute drive from Columbia.

Formica Table & 4 Chairs.  Red & white and cute!  The table is in good shape, but the chairs have some rips in the original upholstery.  Everything needs cleaning.

$199 in Fulton.  Here’s the link: Vintage Formica Table.

Vintage Refrigerator.  White, probably Montgomery Ward brand, in working condition.

$100 in Fulton.  Here’s the link: Vintage Refrigerator/Freezer.
