Pics or shens on the bust, object!
Some Bach is to die for, other Bach not so much, if you ask me  Don't rule him out! 
My daughter bought her husband (AKA my darling son-in-law) a bust of Lincoln in the style of the JFK bust in the Kennedy Center.  I kind of wanted it myself but she beat me to it, but at least I get to visit it all the time.  (I am from the Land of Lincoln, one of my two or three claims to fame.)
I am kind of meh about the Slinky, but once I found a very early Superball in the original plastic bag with mailer tab on it.  I guess you could mail order them from somewhere and that's how they arrived.  It was that greenish black color.  I got it in a box lot of junk out of someone's old desk.  Gad, I miss those kind of box lots...

I think I know who designed the chairs, but am unsure because they are made by Rudd international.  They look like Magnus Olesen
When I recieve the chairs from the seller, I can put some research into it.

I found this Bruno Ninaber van Eyben mortar and pestle for Randstad Holland (2000).  Another useful Randstad Christmas gift donated to Goodwill.

Looks more like Telemann than Bach to me, but who knows--it's not like there are that many photos of those guys to work from.

Mine didn't include the pestle.  Been using it for Ikebana but me thinks it's showing signs of rust.  Designed as employee Xmas gift?  Go figure....

Woodywood and Hazelnut,
Thank for the nice comments.  Yes, every year Randstad has a well known designer execute a employee Christmas gift.  Bruno Ninaber, Marcel Wandres et cetera.
Should this product rust I will use the YO Creative Answers mortar and pestle set for Mono.  I am prepared.

Scored a half-dozen Johannes Andersen chairs and a nice table (haven't taken the time to ID the table yet).  Had to drive to the middle of nowhere in the dark, but I'm not complaining.  They should clean up nicely and I have some light-grey basketweave wool that will be a perfect fit.  Best find I've made in quite a while.

Not quite sure what to do with these, but this pick is up there with one of the best I've ever had...  19 vintage Herman Miller desk chairs.  Not sure what to call the color, but they are all in overall excellent condition.
