Household Junk - Paint Tins

I was given five Indianapolis, IN Fine Art watercolor tins by a lovely art teacher. Stay tuned for what useful thing they become.

Bric a Brac Junk - Fasco Fan

This deco fan was a throw in with the milkshake machine deal. It's dirty and doesn't work but it sweetened the deal on that God damn blender I spent a ton on.

Bike Junk - Raleigh Sport

I brought this out of a cellar in Greenpoint for $40 bucks and it looks perfect with a new chain, wheels, tires and a $5 seat. Another Raleigh back to life. Shout out to Joe for buying it.

Furniture Junk - Dentist Cabinet

Art Deco dentist cabinet from New Paltz, NY. I saw it one weekend and didn't have room in the car so we had to go back for it the next weekend.

Household Junk - Vargas Pin-up

Vargas pin-up girl out of a 1948 calendar for a Chicago printing company on Fullerton. The frame housed a 1950's black and white wedding photo. Hobby Lobby did a $6 mash-up.

Furniture Junk - Birthday Chairs

I was late to my own birthday party last week because I stopped off at a school in the East Village to pick up a couple free chairs. There were about a dozen on the street but I could only carry two.


Envoy - American Seating Co.
Made in the USA

Grand Rapids, MI

They're gonna look real nice...

Bike Junk - Bad Ass Crusier Bars

Huge 1970's Honda cruiser bars for a Stingray style bike (NWT!). $2 at a real junk sale. The stuff was so valuable it sat out in the rain for a few days! BIKES!

.Drop bars on top.

Decortive Junk - Post Office Key Cubby

This is an old post office key cubby or pigeon hole sorter, stamped 1959 USPS. It hasn't traveled too far from Hornell, NY.

I'd actually like to know what it's really called.

I have absolutely zero use for this piece of junk. It's huge (about 4' tall), heavy as hell, but I KNOW some country kitsch craving mom would love it.

Furniture Junk - Cosco Stools

I found two of these stools about 15 miles from Woodstock at a yard sale on Memorial Day weekend. I could have hit about 200 sales between Phoenicia and Woodstock that day.


The stools are made by Cosco in Columbus, IN and they seem pretty bullet proof. Cosco is famous for their kitchen step stool. The 60's chair/step stool that allowed ladies in high heels to get to groceries in hard to reach areas.

I guess ladies just aren't classy anymore.

These have a little wear on them but a little rust never hurt and the red vinyl looks great.

Bric a Brac Junk - Strip Along With Us

I found this record at a stoop sale in Brooklyn Heights for $1. It was in perfect shape until I rode around with it in my basket all day.

The old guy who I bought it from said it was his father's and that his dad was a filthy old man. That's good enough for me.
