Vintage RETRO Bradley ORANGE & WHITE Travel Windup ALARM CLOCK Panton EXC in BOX! This is a nice vintage Bradley Travel Alarm Clock. It comes from an estate, complete with instruction/guarantee paper and original box. Doesn't look like its been out of the box much. Retro bright red/orange case and face. Shiny gold metal trim. Large white numbers and hands make reading a breeze even when your half asleep! Wound it up, set the alarm, runs great, keeps good time, and alarm rang at correct time. Clock measures 3" dia and about 1-1/4" height when closed up in the case. No date on the paperwork or box, my guess would be 60's or 70's. Fun retro vintage alarm clock for your next trip! |

Curtis Jere Metal Wall Sculpture "The Depot". This fabulous vintage wall sculpture was designed by Curtis Jeré (Curtis Freiler and Jerry Fels) and was marketed by Artisan House back in the early 1970's. Low production numbers make this one of the harder to find examples of a Jeré wall sculpture.The piece is hand signed © Jeré on the right front. This wonderful train depot is a real work of art! The sculpture was based on an actual depot found in an old California town. From the unique aged finish thats applied to the brass to the attention given to detail even though it was done with abstract form, its quite impressive. Overall size measuring approx. 46-1/2" x 21" x 8". This sculpture comes from an estate where it was in storage. It was pretty dusty, I've wiped it off, but it still needs a more careful cleaning in its nooks and crannys. Overall the piece is in good condition and still displays well. It does have a repair (tape and wire wrap) on the tree trunk on the one end, and its missing one post that sticks up on the right end roof peak. A couple of the spot welds have come loose, but do not affect its appearace. | $250.00 Questions |

Rare VICKIE LINDSTRAND for KOSTA Boda BIRDS in CAGE Prism Art Glass 60s Sweden Exquisite hard to find art glass design by Vicke Lindstrand (Victor Emanuel Lindstrand 1904-1983) for Kosta Boda of Sweden. "Birds in a Cage". Clear triangle, prism, engraved birds behind bars. Done in the 1960's, engraved signature " Kosta 92415 Lindstrand" on base. 4" in height, approx 3-1/2" on each side. A little over 2 lbs. Perfect for a paperweight or for display. Very nice condition. A few minor scratches on the bottom, a tiny chigger bite on one bottom corner and a very tiny flea bite on the top edge. Not visible in pictures due to their tiny size. Not sure if these are damage or was done when it was produced? These are not noticable unless your looking for them, just trying to describe this accurately. Hard to photograph due the the prism like properties. I've used a green felt background to show the details, it also shows some fingerprints and smudges from handling. It is a stunning mid-century modern piece that would be a beautiful addition to any collection. |

Vintage 1950's rocker horse chair. This unique piece is a prime example of a designers dream for capturing the imaginations of his youth and extending it over into the adult world. Young and old alike can choose to set in one of two positions. Facing forwards or backwards in the seat. Made or rattan/bamboo its lightweight but sturdy and more comfortable then it first appears. It is unmarked. Attributed to Danish origins and one can see the simularities in the style to some of Wegner's works, that were inspired by Picasso. No matter who the designer was, this unusual chair is quite the conversation piece. Its still in good condition overall. Sturdy and solid on construction. There is some wear to the finish and signs of use over the years. Sold as found. This unusual chair does require some space as any rocker would, measuring 48" long, 42" tall and 20" wide on the rockers. Please note: this unique chair is to big to ship with the carriers (UPS, Fedex) and for the USPS. It can be shipped freight (please send a zip code for a quote) The best, most economical way and what we recommed is using Greyhound. | $125.00

1998 GIDEON
DAGAN - INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER PERPETUAL
CALENDAR This
innovative functional perpetual calendar
would be a great addition to any modern
space. From the mind of the well known
industrial designer, Gideon Dagan. This
unique calendar has two movable magnetic
balls mark the day and month, allowing it to
be used year after year. Use of the stand
allows it to be placed on a desk or
table, remove the stand to hang on the
wall. Designed for The Museum of
Modern Art in 1998. The
gravity-defying magnetic force of the ball
pulls the tether taut giving it the
appearance of a rigid arm that easily moves
to mark each month, while a second magnetic
ball securely sets on the horizontal beam to
indicate the day. 9" H x 13’ W x 2: D.
Calender is complete in its original box.
