The Last Thing You Acquired #39  

it would appear that the above sofa is by Komfort. A buddy has a buddy who is re-upholstering it's twin. I believe it, it has a Komfort vibe to it. I'll send a better pic once it's presentable.

I went to a few Goodwill's in my area and I found the following:
1. Oiva Toikka Flora bowl for Nuutajarvi Finland (14 cm Ø)
2. General Motors Company Cadillac for Assouline
3. Geraldo Pereira The Universe of Hans Donner for Salamanda Consultoria Editorial
4. Wundram - Pape - Marton Palladio for Taschen
I enjoy books, and for around $5.00 these and the Flora bowl are good for me.

I found & bought this cute Mid-Century child's desk with matching chair for my 4 year son this weekend. As you can see from the pictures my 4 year old loves it!!!
Paid $50
Fun Fact: In my sons 4.5 years of life he as already attended over 100 auctions from Antiques to Mid-Century.

Those chairs were sold in the Netherlands by Pastoe. And almost all are attr. to Finn Juhl. But ive never seen any documentation about that... Probably based on some similarties of the design...

Two of my post worthy finds this week
Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin swivel tilt lounge chair with white base.
Fiam 19" tall side table, seller picked it out of the trash.....said there were 5 broken ones with it.

Amazake,
Congratulations on the Fiam Ommagio a Alvar Aalto table. That is a worthy find. Good for you.
You may find these Fiam master catalog pages helpful.

1. A cleaned up couch. Pretty happy (wood needs a little attention).
2. An Italian Ceramic Pig Cookie Jar. Yes, it says Cookies on top. Made Exclusively, it says, for a Portland Dept. Store that I think is still there (Meier & Frank). Both charming and creepy

We have that same cookie jar waffle. No mention of a Portland store on ours though.

Waffle, Meier & Frank was sold and all the stores were converted to Macy's back in 2006, so they are no longer in operation anymore.

I found a mailing tube addressed to a global television network from Technicolor Cinema Distribution. The shipping label had the contents identified as:
1. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull for Paramounts Pictures 2008
2. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade for Paramounts Pictures 1989
3. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom for Paramounts Pictures 1984
4. Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark for Paramounts Pictures 1981
Yes, all the new and unused "one sheet theatrical release" posters were in the tube. The total cost was 99 ¢ plus tax. Sold to the man in the white AX shirt.
They also had Derek Forsyth's Pirelli Calendar Classics 100 Photographs from the First 30 Years for Pavilion Books. Years ago someone at Porsche North America thought their wife would be upset with the Patrick Demarchelie 2005 Pirelli calendar and gave it to my sister, who gave it to me. I bought the book.

Tossing the Crystal Skull posters in the trash might actually increase the value of your set.

cdsilva,
Damon Killian: Well, you're not gonna get that with re-runs of Gilligan's Island or niceguy: We aren't talking about Citizen Kane.
The definable value is the mailing tube.

pegboard, that is just weird.
It's an oddly compelling "thing".

Here is a Saturday morning estate sale find....
Paul McCobb "Connoisseur Collection" bar cabinet.

Had to purchase the three terrible tables in this picture in order to get the sofa and chair. H.W. Klein for Bramin, I think? No better pictures yet but they need TLC. I saw this accompanying ad like a year ago and thought to myself that I'd never be able to find it here in Nebraska, or anywhere. Teak legs, etc. Need to reglue/repair several parts of those. The leather is mostly in good condition for age, but there are a couple small tears at seams, a puncture tear on the back, and the fabric backs of some cushions are torn. I would really like to save the leather... anybody taken stuff like this to a specialist? Is that even possible? This is the first of many dream pieces that I have actually found and it's somewhat surreal.
