The Last Thing You Acquired #21  

Hi waffle!
Well that's good news, as I did grab its twin Koch and Lowy lamp yesterday morning. I like the Hansen wall lamps better, as they seem to be very good quality. The estate sale also included a pair of Knoll Barcelona chairs, a Platner coffee and 2 side tables (in bronze tone), and a Ray Eames walnut stool...plus some funky serving dishes (that I know nothing about). Oh and also she was selling a set for 8 of the same Richard Meier table-ware that I currently have. I've driven past the home for 20 years, and the most modern item I ever noticed was some Richard Schultz patio furnishings on the side patio (gone when I arrived). The dealer's bought everything on Sunday.

Hansen lamps
Acquired a pair of these not too long ago. They are higher quality lamps as you have already noted. Looks like yours came with the nice brass covering to hide the wires.

Thank you jdip.
Yes, mine have the brass wire covering strips. I now feel foolish for not googling anything about Mr. Hansen. They are quite sweet lamps. Thanks for the link.
Best,

Yesterday i found two tables...
Yesterday i found two tables and 3 benches of this.
Friso Kramer 120/2

wow
those are just terrific
a weird item from the local habitat, a swank chandelier made in Germany that appears to be silver? Not chrome? Has that subtle tone that only silver has....
Is there a test for silver???
Pretty cool, nevertheless, and has a matching wall candelabra/sconce.

Gosh. i want it so bad....
Gosh. i want it so bad. Maybe a Arthur Umanoff design ?

3 Grenada series wrought iron swivel stools in great condition
My previous comment was about Gene's gorgeous clock that reminds me a Arthur Umanoff design for Howard Miller Company. Or is it a George Nelson Flip Clock ?
3 days ago, I got 3 Grenada series wrought iron swivel stools in great condition. They're designed by Arthur Umanoff and manufactured by Boyeur-Scott in 1964. These are a gem, looks barely new: no rust on the iron, no scratch or wear-use on the seats, original paint untouched with no breaks, all glides are there.

Something for my fella...
Braun D5 Combiscope slide projector.Clever design, found in perfect condition.
$2.99 at my local Goodwill...
(Borrowed image, better than what I could photograph)

I have the same, Solange.
Great, little thing (mine was in the box).

very nice
Solange ,
Your Braun unit is very nice.

Ed Wormley
Looks like it could be a Edward Wormley side table

Thank you
bj and niceguy. I also found this Braun HDL travel dryer by Reinhold Weiss for $1.99 at the same time as the Combiscope.
A nice surprise to find either...

@Majick
which table do you...
@Majick
which table do you mean ?

Irish perspex pendulum clock
"Made in the Republic of Ireland" by Hanson. circa late 60s/70s. I think probably designed to be wall hung but stand up ok on its own, about 2 feet high. The only piece of 'modern' design from Ireland I've ever knowingly owned.

This was last week.
I found this green glass vase in a consignment store recently. I was going to remove the tacky clear glass marbles...but lit up (like myself) now feel that it would be a grave mistake to mess with any old marbles.
Cheerio and flapjacks,
Aunt Mark
