what do you do with a day off? scavenge for vintage treasures, of course.
Urban Ore, 900 Murray St, Berkeley, CA, has tons of vintage treasures for mostly reasonable prices.
(1) two chippy paint claw foot tub feet in cast iron // perfect bookends. (unmarked)
(2) rectangular tin sign for a fire extinguisher with embossed writing // this will make its way into my Etsy shop. (Elkhart Brass Mfg. Co.)
(3) CSFA 1963 firefighter's helmet emblem // I wonder what CSFA stands for
(4) rusted, unfolded olive oil can -- now an olive oil sign // currently adorns the front of my refrigerator (held with magnets) -- reminds me of my honeymoon in Italy (Rossi)
