Vault 32

10/12/2024

I’m slowly getting out of the habit to check the vendor page that showed us sales for the vault32 booths. I’d check it multiple times a day; not just to keep track of income, but to see *what* sold, or if I needed to go straighten after a big piece sold-like a desk that was curated with lamps, books etc- to make sure they hadn’t been left on the floor after.
It was fun to see that something I’d just brought in had sold after I left, or things displayed together had sold together, or everything that one person had bought at once (like full outfits, albums that showed a certain taste in music, etc)… it was just interesting, since I couldn’t see it happen in person.
Gonna miss that.

This one’s for the ladies! (and a few guys, if you click through)
- when we find a big lot of vintage name patches, the ladies are often underrepresented in the assortment. Not so this time! We got hundreds of ‘retro’ feminine names, many from the ‘Golden Girls’ era of naming: Lots of classics, and many that still get use today.
As for the guys, we’ve got a few dozen in this style, lots of Martys for some reason..must be a time travel thing 🤔.
And the pinks ARE that bright! Like, hard to look at and photograph bright. Like radioactive midcentury thread bright. Neat!
This special batch of tags are in felt and must be sewn on. Each also has an adjusted price of $6 each (up from our usual 4.75) because of larger size and scarcity

Lighten up your -styled space with the ultimate floor lamp: a midcentury Castle medical floor lamp in the ! Adjusts and swivels in every direction. Comes with a bright LED flood bulb. We’ve completely rewired and carefully cleaned it, but rather than repaint the weathered hammered silver paint of the stand, we clear coated it -to protect the existing wear and make any patina pop- it’s proud of its (atomic) age! $389.

We’ve got that “something you don’t see every day”…every day!!!
-like this vintage robot face, er- I mean the stylish front of an old Sears Suburban mower/tractor, now a cool old mask from the past to hang on a wall!!
-a set of 4 slim scarlet lockers each with a latch to unlock a cubby above.
-various items of industrial storage: vintage garden baskets, parts trays and a set of 12 hardware drawers topped in reclaimed wood.
- always stocked in valve handles of all sizes, shapes and color- and some old gears too. Eye catching industrial decor, or repurpose them as door/drawer k***s, and more.
- can you even have an Airbnb or local restaurant without some vintage snowshoes on the wall? The answer is ‘hell no’.
- this week’s wow: a 1950s stainless steel coca-cola cooler (coca-cooler?) complete with immaculate inner tray. The outside has age and character, but it’s a rare design and still collectible. We envision it becoming your new favorite front porch or retro patio planter box!

Check out this NIFTY vintage steel wall cabinet - original midcentury ‘pistachio’ paint finish (as printed on the back) - which we customized to be a great first aid or supply cabinet for an industrial-themed mudroom, bathroom or wall area. We added a hang bar at bottom for hanging tools, towels or work/rain coats and other gear -as well as inserted an expanded steel shelf to let light and particles pass through from top to bottom- and finished it with an aged retro-industrial health supply symbol to the cabinet doors.
Unit is 30” tall (plus bar) by 24” wide and 13” deep. Arriving soon the the booth, just inside the entrance of !

The struggle is real! I can’t keep stuff in my booths! And sometimes it feels like the only thing worse than not selling anything is selling EVERYTHING! My booths are gonna be so empty the rest of the month, aaaiiiiieeeeeeee!

Super cute! We / a that was adrift without a machine and had a pretty usekess and damaged open top. So we paired it with a baby blue Formica table top that we cut to match the desk’s dimensions.
The result: an adorably squee lil’ writing desk, vanity or wall table with three functional drawers (the large central drawer is false).
