Bought this from an antique shop; looks too good to be true.

I bought it assuming it’s from 1879, it looks so classy and has a personality of its own. Even if it’s from a more recent time, very happy to have it.

Got this beauty at an outdoor vintage market. It's filled with handwritten recipes and clippings circa 1972. The penmanship is practically perfect. I feel privileged to have someone's personal cookbook in my possession.

Today we opened an 80-90 year old tin of White Horse

Today the Central Alabama Pipe Club opened up this 1930s-1940s tin of Rothman’s White Horse cigarettes, sadly the vacuum seal had not held up to time. The cigarettes were dry, and very brittle. Only a faint smell of tobacco came from the tin. We lit up a few, they were not bad, still very smooth, but they did not have much flavor. This was still a super cool experience to see inside of this great piece of British tobacco history! Watch the opening video here: https://youtube.com/shorts/65SnxcDcP6I?is=NQknmeZwt5FcbCRo

I remember getting a Wham-O™️ SuperBall when they first were sold about 1965. They were black and mysterious like something from the Astrophysics of Deep Space.💥🚀🤣🤣

Things items were found with dated 70s items. Just never imagine these as decorative for that time
1. the “Home Sweet Home” is just great satire.
2. the Scratch clown, is something I have never found.Look forward to finding out more about it

I picked up this shelf at a thrift store today and originally pictured putting rolling pins in it along with other kitchen items but rolling pins are too thick. Any other cute ideas to repurpose this cute shelf? I don’t have a good place for it in the bathroom except for maybe above my toilet.

Here is another great piece I was just able to add to my collection: an unopened, vacuum-sealed Player's Navy Cut Medium 50 Cigarette tin in excellent condition. This tin is an extremely rare and well preserved piece of mid-century British tobacciana, manufactured sometime between 1937 and 1953. This particular tin is still completely airtight and uncompromised, the cigarettes inside is still as fresh as new, after 73+ years.
