Picked Up On The Side Of The Road A Few Weeks Ago. It Is A Victorian Era Conversation Setee, For Courting Couples. The Weird Thing Is That It Was On The Side Of The Road With A Bunch Of Junk
Foxxy 6 years ago
That looks to be in really good condition too, what a score. Great conversation piece too.
Den Star 6 years ago
It is called a love seat, the idea was you could sit there and neck with your beau, but you couldn't rub your private parts together. Victorian era dating had a lot of rules. And they weren't kidding. They had furniture built to make sure the rules were followed. Off topic: My great aunt Margaret (b 1898 d 1987) had one, she had her whole set of furniture from when she got married. It used to take my breath away, just really really gorgeous. And it was perfect, clean and lovely even tho it was old. She never had any children. (During the nineteens, her mother had her and her sister sterilized so they couldn't have kids because their father molested them. The mother didn't want her daughters to have kids by their dad. So they never had kids at all, and never had the slightest notion of justice for what happened to them. And they weren't the only ones. It was done with some regularity for a few years on young girls. In Virginia.)

How sad. Sad that it happened at all, and absolutely horrifying that THAT was considered the best and most logical solution. I'm angry for her.

Some people just don’t understand the value of things they inherit or are given. I’m glad this piece of furniture is now in the possession of someone who will love and appreciate it. Just like with pets; don’t buy new, rescue older furniture instead!
Dianna 6 years ago
Perhaps the person who left it had to clean out the home of a relative who passed, and were unable to take it with them, so they put it in a place where it would be seen for someone else to rescue.

To all those old fogeys who think they know better than us what women need.
Secondhand shopping — especially for clothes — is great for both your wallet and the world, and here’s why. First of all, you can wear fancy branded clothes from thrift stores for a fraction of the retail price. You can quite literally walk a mile in someone’s fancy shoes and save cash while doing it.

Secondly, more people wearing and sharing secondhand clothing means less rubbish, less manufacturing new clothes, and a much happier planet. Way happier. According to Sheril Dsouza on Medium, it takes a whopping 1,800 gallons (that’s more than 6,800 liters for all you Europeans out there) to make a single pair of jeans!

Lastly, trading secondhand clothes and items create stronger, more responsible and eco-conscious communities. That’s right. When you go to a thrift store to drop something off or to find a new wacky thingamajig for your office, you’re actively building a better future. You’re taking recycling to a whole new level. You’re encouraging your friends and family to care about the environment. If you’re ever in doubt whether something secondhand is fashionable, just remember: old is the new new.

You should definitely take this somewhere and have a good antiques dealer check it out -- the book is a CDV album, and the first photo is Julia and Grant, but may be a "souvenir" carte de visite (CDV) that would have been available when he was popular (like a postcard today). The second image doesn't look like a souvenir, though, but an original -- and it does look like Julia. She almost always took her photos from the side because she was cross-eyed. Is this one tin? Would love to see more of the book. You might have something really fantastic and historical -- congrats on the find!
Robert Fisher 6 years ago

Great find! This is a CDV album (carte de visite photographs). The first image is most likely a souvenir print that would have been available when Grant was popular (but still an antique)....but the second image DOES look like it is Julia (she was cross-eyed, and due to vanity almost always took her portrait from the side). Is the "Julia" image tin? I would love to see more! If you have a bunch that are Grant and family, this could be a fantastic historical find. They did live in Illinois, and Kansas isn't far away.

Its such a shame that quirky and unusual phones aren't made any more. When I was a kid I saw a phone that was a kitten playing with a ball of pink wool. If only I had bought it. Land lines are reliable unlike mobiles ( my local phone mast went down recently, plus smart phones die in no time etc,) I don't know why land lines in homes are so uncommon now.

This Is Probably My Most Prized Find. This Is Billie Jean
I’ve had her for a while. She has a back story. I drove past an antique store and saw her on the sidewalk out front. I instantly loved her. A couple days later, I drove past the same store and there she was. I thought to myself, “How has no one purchased that glorious goat?!?” I was trying to be good. I went home and later that day was scrolling through my news feed and there was a picture of her on Facebook! What are the odds?!?! I shared the picture on saying that I couldn’t believe that no one had purchased the goat. The post got a lot of traffic. I thought about that goat most of the day but I was balling on a budget. I broke down and called them to see if they still had her. When I called the guy said, “I don’t know what the deal is with that goat! I’ve gotten so many calls today!” He said that she was still there as of then. I got in the car and told my husband I was going to try and barter for her. He knew then, that I was coming home with that goat one way or another. Well, the owner wouldn’t barter because he had gotten too many calls. Ironically, the calls were because of me sharing her. (I have a decent following for my work). Someone had even paid a deposit down for them to hold her but hadn’t returned within the allotted 24 hours. Needless to say, I’m weak and wrote a check. He told me they called her “Billie”. I added Jean because she was mine and I could. I came home with her and then I was afraid someone would steal her because she was so awesome. I made her stay in the house for a week. I finally put her out front but obsessively checked for her every time I walked passed the window. I may or may not have installed security cameras because of this goat statue. Needless to say, she is part of the family now and the talk of the neighborhood.

We Purchased This Painting For $4 From The Local Flea Market A Year Or Two Ago
I originally thought it was a print as it was only $4, but when I looked more closely I could see the delicate brushstrokes all over. The signature is very clear (and adorable. It includes a kitty) so I went looking around on Facebook for a D.L. Street and found him! An amazing artist and I cant believe we ended up with this beauty for FOUR dollars. I contacted him, sent a picture, and told him we bought this piece he painted in 1996. 23 years later, he remembered the name.

I was going through my dad's possessions from WWII and found a roll of small bills from different countries, all taped together. Turned out it was his farewell gift when he finished enough flight missions to go home. The whole crew had signed and dated it and made it out to "Short Snorter (name)". We still haven't figured out what a short snorter is.
DearOptimists 6 years ago
A short snorter is a banknote inscribed by people traveling together on an aircraft. The tradition was started by Alaskan bush flyers in the 1920s and spread through the military and commercial aviation. During World War II short snorters were signed by flight crews and conveyed good luck to soldiers crossing the Atlantic. Friends would take the local currency and sign each other's bills creating a "keepsake of your buddy's signatures".

This *might* be an incense holder. If it is hollow right through to the mouth, you can burn those little incense cones inside it, and it will "smoke". And um put a stick of incense where the flower is.

"Put a stick of incense where the flower is" sounds like an oddly specific curse to someone. :D I am going to use this from now on.
