The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

[impuntura]

I haven’t been a member of this thread for that long. I would totally be interested in a top 10 list of your best finds of all time @impuntura

I'm not sure my brain can remember that far back but I do know that I found 9 things cooler then this lol.
One that springs to mind is the 1925 made in Toronto Resonator made by Charles Brasher.
Then there was the New old stock SUPRO guitar amp in mother of pearl finish .
And a complete MC40 bang olufsen in Rosewood ,when I say complete all the electronics and speakers etc .
They even had the original brochures from Yorkville ,I think the guy spent like 18 grand in 1984.
Should have kept that one.
Many more ,some watches for sure .

How the hell do you keep on finding ultra rare design furniture? Super impressed by the consistency of the finds as well.

mostly the area. it attracts a lot of design-conscious wealthy people.

a lot of people buy nice quality posters and cut the margins down so it can be evenly framed, then glue the info on the back like that. opening it up is unlikely to tell you much unless you think they hid money in there.

Well it would tell me what kind of paper it's on though right .
Same color saturation ,lookalike it's a dye-transfer print not a poster .
It's on a heavy board.
