Just thought I’d share some of the recent vintage scores my partner has picked up over the last few weeks – she’s got a knack for sniffing these things out in an op shop.
First up is a pair of spun aluminium torches, complete with anodised tops. Haven’t fired them up yet, but I reckon the reflection of the flames on the red should be pretty sweet. They also have indentations in the bottom so you can mount them on a post.
Next up is a pair of vintage ship mugs. Tiki mugs are thin and far between in Australia, but you do find some reasonable nautical gear occasionally. Works for me!
And lastly is a resin tourist tiki, who’s just a little cute.
Love the torches … a great find.
I’m a fan of the mug too. I picked up an almost identical one a couple of months ago. Oh what I’d give for thrift stores packed to the rafters with Tiki mugs! ;0)
Hey Hewey…I think Bunnings have those Cane Poles….they were’nt very dear either…think they were $9 ea. with the Torch on top…:)))
