You are so right Rick that was the selling point all the parts were suppose to be easily changed. That Proctor Silex with the light base is such a pretty coffee maker. I think your hooked!!! John that is a very interesting pot, I'm wondering if it is a non automatic, meaning just that you had to unplug it when you thought the coffee was done.

Hello
John, we have a great vacuum group in St. Louis. I have a decent Kirby collection that has been built with the help of my friends in the area.

Great UNIVERSAL
Brian. With all the matching niceties! Beautiful!

Wow...
...add my hearty compliments to the Universal and service. Very nice indeed! I especially like that it is an urn. Very classy!
Rick, the one I snagged off eBay is a 1959 job, made by the Enterprise Aluminum Co. This will be my second percolator. I also have a Knapp-Monarch Model 770 of an unknown vintage.
Patrick -- good to hear about St. Louis folks! And your Kirby collection blows mine away! I'm trying to branch out a bit, but I must admit that my heart belongs to Kirby, LOL! My first Kirby was the Legend II, which I absolutely love.
By the way, regarding the Jury Duty thing...I've been excused twice now due to work -- I don't think I'll be able to duck it a third time. Ugh.
But to close on a happy note, I mailed my check and membership application for the VCCC today. Woohoo!

Jazzy Percoltaor stamped initials G.E.C. made in England
Found this interesting coffee perker this afternoon. Smooth sensous seamless shape and I really like the glass dome topper stopper. The lift off lid simply catches under the handle lip. It works! No cord but I found a modern one that fits.

Might as well continue here with today's finds.
I was in Woodstock to get a cheap BP Monitor at Walmart. Got a much better one at an actual Medical Supply place.
Went thrifting.
Sally Ann gave up this nice pair of SEARS two speed lectric scissors with lamp for $3. These are the alarmingly noisy vibrating kind and they work great. So pretty in pale green.

Then I went to Antique Junque factory and fell upon this record case for 45's dated on the back 1959. Just right for the red portable from a few weeks back.

$5 bucks for the whole shebang on 50% Feb Madness Sale ending today.
The writing is all in pencil, the same boy's name practised over and over in inventive styles. He was careful not to gouge the surface and tests show that it will mostly all come off with Magic Eraser. I just scanned all the sides to keep a record.

It pays to stoop & snoop around and under!
This caught my eye down on the floor behind a repro Coca Cola tray. A home made brass handled wood tray with picture under glass. On close inspection you can see it is amatuer (because of the needle drill holes off the line) wood fretwork like a marquetry puzzle and I think quite stylish in a 1920s sort of style - maybe from a photograph or calendar print? The individual pieces are loose under the glass yet fit together snugly. My story will be it was a love token present from a besotted swain for his sweetie on their anniversary of a magical trip to Niagara. I have a 10 " balsa wood stilleto my dad carved at the beach for my Mom when they were dating. It belongs on this tray, I think.
For this I was happy to pay $12.

The true colors under flash. Lovely graining.
View is the American Falls with Canadian Falls in the background. There are no buildings and I know you'd have to pan to the right to see the old 1929 Hotel that overlooks the Canadian Falls. That and the postcard-like frame matt surround design elements is why I think it was crafted well before WW2 when the Canadian side exploded into Tourism Carnival time.
