I found a nice vintage laundry hamper at the thrift store today! And then I walked home with it for an hour and my arms are very tired and will probably be so so sore tomorrow.
Worth it for 1950's hamper though!
It's metal with an embossed vinyl covering and a padded lid. The lid's a bit grimy and needs a good scrub with a toothbrush, and there are some rust spots on the gold trim, but otherwise it's in great shape!
When I got home I looked online out of curiosity and I found multiple nearly identical ones listed for over $200, and even some over 300??? This one's the exact same design but in blue and it's 220 plus shipping and that's the sale price??
Mine was six entire dollars and I'm going to keep my unfinished projects in it, but it's nice knowing that if I ever don't want it I could have a lot of dollars instead.
I also found this thing and I have no clue what the heck it is. Can anyone tell me what this thingy holder was meant to hold? It looks like it would hold 2 sheets of stiff paper, but why the big brass chunk in the middle?
Edit: Huh, turns outs it's for holding matchboxes, and the bottom part is an ashtray. I never would have guessed that. It seems silly to put a matchbox in a holder. (But then I'm not living in an era where everyone is smoking all day every day, thank goodness.)
