I picked up this awesome 50's TV a couple days ago, and just hadn't gotten around to posting about it. It doesn't work, but who cares?? It's in great cosmetic condition, and I love the hairpin legs!
The guy I got it from is very cool, and has an INCREDIBLE collection...The moment I stepped into his garage I was floored. This guy has appliances and furniture I can only dream of... Even the house and garden is awesome, and of course inside the house there's even more amazingness... I didn't have my camera with me, but just picture the most amazing vintage things you've ever seen... and now multiply that by 100! He said he had started collecting when he was 15, which I could definitely relate to haha! He mentioned bringing in refrigerators to the backyard, and in general drove his parent's crazy... Ahh I can so relate. I once "snuck" an 800 lb player piano inside the living room. And of course I have rescued multiple vintage refrigerators...
