Vintage Return of the Jedi Glasses

Return of the Jedi

With the new Star Wars movie coming out it’s the perfect time to highlight this complete set of vintage Burger King Return of the Jedi Glasses. See Princess Leia as Jabba the Hutt’s Prisoner, Luke and Han Solo fighting their way off of Jabba’s Sail Barge, experience the final battle between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker and party with the Ewoks once again. It’s hard to believe that these glasses are over 30 years old. It does show the staying power that some collectables have, especially Star Wars.

On a side note we will be open every day from now until Christmas for your shopping convenience.

Antique 3 Drawer Golden Oak Dresser

It is all done and in the shop. A lovely antique 3 drawer golden oak dresser. This piece was produced between 1890 & 1920. It is solid oak with a full set of cast brasses. During the restoration I decided that I liked the lived in look of the top and chose to just bring it back to a usable condition rather than strip away all of the character. I did however have to create a new backsplash as it was missing. Originally the piece probably had a wishbone towel bar. The dresser measures 35 1/2″ wide by 17″ deep by 32′ high to the top and 34 1/2″ to the top of the backsplash. The dimensions of this dresser make it a good choice for someone looking to transform it into a vanity base for a vessel sink.

Rock-O-Rama Vol. 2

Rock-o-Rama Vol. 2

This week I want to highlight a very cool compilation album that I recently discovered. Rock-O-Rama Vol. 2 from 1972 is full of seldom heard gems by seldom heard groups. This comp. has hits by Chubby Checker, Bobby Rydell, The Orlons, ? & the Mysterians, The Dovells and Zacherly. I don’t really understand why the two John Zacherly songs are on here but I do love novelty songs and Dinner with Drac is great. One thing is for sure, whoever put this comp together for Abkco had interesting taste in music.
