Good Morning Mike Brian, Austin and Peter. Mike you are right part of the reason we are able to collect such vintage items is because they had not been made of plastic or all plastic. I would say part of the love of collecting is the architecture of the items.
Brian, my partner found the Sunbeam Junior Mixer stand at one of the antique co op’s in London north which had booths that various people populated. Over the years we have been able to collect all 6 colours to complete the stand so it now has the original White, Yellow, Turquoise, Copper, Chrome and Pink. This would be one of my favorite completed items within the collection. As for house colours pleased you like them.
Austin, thanks for sharing the picture of the Bob Irwin fan as I can say I have not seen one of these either and thought you might like the looks for the Vornado and understand the point on cost of fans as they have really gotten more expensive as people have been collecting them.
Hi Peter as for personal vintage I would say we are close in age and I did not go to St. Clair my sister did and I went to St Pat’s. Thank for the feedback on the Electrolux, I am happy to get it piece by piece if you run across one in your travels. When you indicated that the one you had is now in Stratford is it now part of Dave’s collection in Stratford?
Have a great day everyone and enjoy the Daytona 500 as today is race day!
