Finery, frippery, gee-gaws, gadgets and ephemera.
Quite a few things you've never seen in your life up to now.
Uncommon fanciful things.
Obscure objects of desire.
There is a critical mass of such stuff at our Red Hook store at the moment.
Behollllld:
Things from rural Pennsylvania farm country strewn about the front.
A rifle case. It probably had a .22 bolt action in it at one time. I made a rubberband assault rifle that fits perfectly inside.
Look. He's smiling.
All sorts o' stuff - jewelry, Pop Chart Lab posters, vintage shoes...
Ye Olde cardiac monitor.
A 52-year-old painted bamboo calendar. We have a selection of these with various artwork screened on them.
Decades old lighters. They all light on the first strike.
Jao in the house, sharing space with Patent medicine bottles from the 1800s
Kreepy Dolls. Always unique: Never the same doll twice.
Mmmmm, this death is cool and refreshing. It has the "Thinking man's filter and the Smoking man's taste"
No wait that's Viceroys, sorry.
Who doesn't like mugs? No one doesn't like mugs.
I got yer mudra right here, buddy!

Celebrating Our Nation's Independence
In-store purchases this weekend in Red Hook get an extra bonus.
These vintage magazines are actually lightweight compared to the stuff your 10-year-old regularly views on the interwebs here. They also contain some hard-nosed political criticism - you know: to balance out the sleaziness. Much of the same issues we face today are echoed in the pages of these 70s thru 90s "smut" publications.
delicious retro fragments of the Historical Record.
