I did not know that a version was made with wrought iron legs, but once I knew, I had to have one! (Yes, on one level Mad Men is popularizing the stuff we love and making people think their junk is super valuable. But the set designers are showing so much variety it's giving even seasoned mid-century atomic lovers exposure to stuff we may not have seen before.)
So, here's the globe I just got off of that auction site. I hope I'm going to like this one enough that I won't be tempted to buy any more.
Before I took the plunge, I searched on Etsy.com and turned up a couple good ones, but they were about $40 more than I'm paying for the one I picked up, so it was a relative bargain I guess. At least that's what I'm telling myself.
Cool globe!
ReplyDeleteHey, check out the gravel art I picked up over the weekend on my blog!!!
Did you spot the TV set on hairpin legs? Cus it was really hot...
ReplyDeleteA vintage TV on hairpin legs or with slanted spindle wood legs is definitely on my list. An antique mall I visit sometimes in Pa. has a display of old TVs with vintage shows running on a VCR or DVD player. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteI love globes anyway but don't own one, yours is so cool, now that's the one I want!!
ReplyDeleteI saw this auction... I almost bid on it... Whew, glad I let you have it lolol... ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, snap. I loveeeeee old globes almost as much as I loveeeee old mobiles. Great find, but I suppose saying that is getting to be a broken record.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Mad Men, Uncle, did you know that I am in a contest to win a walk-on on the show?
I don't suppose you would mind voting for me, once a day until September 17th? Spreading the word? I'd be honored for your vote of confidence!
