What materials do you like that are from the 1920's,1930's ,1940's,and 1950's?

I love the huge flowered prints...some for the recliners,and rugs, and other ideas....now they use them for purses...I think that they are very tropical looking and really beautiful! I only have small pieces of them, thru a grandparent..who passed away! But, I love 'em! I have a feeling that I must have lived another life in that time era, or something...because that stuff is really beautiful and classy to me! LOL!

Almost anything to do with a kitchen from the 30's and 40's. I love egg-beaters with red wooden handles. Enamelware pots, colanders, cups, bowls and storage tins. I love Fiestaware too! Black and white tile kitchen floors. The boomerang design on kitchen tables and countertops. The 50's-style kitchen table with the metal edging around it and vinyl chairs (especially red!) Home-made curtains with a frilly edge on the windows. Salt and pepper shakers that look like hens and roosters. Glass milk bottles. Shiny chrome and brightly colored small appliances, like a Kitchenaid stand mixer.





Ahhh, a trip down memory lane in my grandmother's kitchen ~ Thank you!
Reply:From those eras, I especially enjoy old books. The oldest one I do own is from 1885. I also have several hand-painted with watercolors, post cards that could be pre-dated to the 20's or 30's. I have them in an album. My friend is 91 years old, and passed them down to me since he has no family. We also had an old collection of 78's and 45's, which were records made to play on old windup radios/stereos with the big horn at the end. My sister also has a very old Singer sewing machine with the kick pump on the bottom. I like antiques, but mostly books, magazines, and post cards. Oh, I forgot...In California, I went into this empty Victorian home by myself. I went to the basement. On the shelf I found an old San Francisco newspaper with the headlines: GOERRING CHEATS DEATH, with a photo of Herrman Goering after he had committed suicide in prison. It was dated in 1947.
Reply:Funnily enough, its the tiny cotton prints of the 30s that I love the best! Little calicoes...





And silk stockings (the idea, I have never seen any! Too fragile to stand the test of time I guess)
