I have recently found a few interesting items here and there.
My parents owned a Union 76 service station when I was growing up so it was fun to find this at a local estate sale. This pump is very nice with a glass top and and a heavy metal base.
The ceramic living room couch, chair and table are pretty unique. I'm not exactly sure what I will do with them, but I have never seen anything like them before, at least not at this scale. UPDATE - I found another set of these online advertised as Antique Maruyama Toki Yamashiro Ryunei porcelain from the 1930's.
They are marked Made in Japan on the bottom.
I found a whole stack of antique tobacco felt rugs at antique mall for $10.
I couldn't pass that up!
Most are marked on the bottom, but it is still hard to make out the words.
*UPDATE* I have learned that Egyptian Straights was a brand of cigarettes.
I would love to have you follow me on instagram @tulsaarchitect
Hello Troy,
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful find. I really liked the ceramic sofa set, but I think the rugs are one of your best purchases.
Big hug

Hi, Troy - Nice finds! The gas pump is a special piece and must have brought back many memories. The ceramic pieces are lovely and full of potential. I'll be interested to see what you do with them. I agree with Giac, though - the rugs are fabulous and an amazing purchase; how do you DO that?

You found some really fun treasures! The little rugs would be cute in tiny dwellings but also make a really interesting collection on their own. I hope you have a great weekend - maybe you’ll find more treasures!
