I've found and sold some pretty great vintage items in the past three years through my etsy shop, Natural Home. Here is a look back at some of my favorite vintage electronic finds. See some of my current vintage offerings here.
#1: Westclock Baby Ben, circa 1960s. Its classic styling and sturdy construction add to the overall charm. Gotta love that vintage font! This clock sold to a vintage enthusiast in Bozeman, Montana.
#2: Jade Pocket Transistor Radio, circa 1960s. Another great example of midcentury industrial design, the little red knob sets it off nicely. In a world of complicated technology, a small transistor radio stands as a great example of simplicity in design. This one went to a lucky guy in Ft Lauderdale, Florida. Here is a more recent pocket sized model from GE.
#3: Kodak Instamatic Camera, circa 1960s. Kodak revolutionized and easy film loading system with the Instamatic. I love the white against the brushed metal. The camera now resides in West Hollywood, California. Here is a later version of the Instamatic I found.
#4: Panasonic R-159 Transistor Radio. This was a great find, in mint condition. The leather case is the finishing touch on this AM-only Panasonic radio. Again, what beautiful design making a functional object stand out. A lucky guy in Providence, Rhode Island received this radio for Christmas.
#5: Mercury Satellite Box Camera circa 1964 is heavily influenced by the space technology of the time. With its sleek, shiny aluminum and grey bakelite, it makes for a great accessory on a bookshelf. The Mercury camera shipped to Tuscon, Arizona. See more vintage cameras here.
#6: Signature Typewriter in Robin's Egg Blue circa late 1960s. Don't you love the color combination on this typewriter? It was manufactured in Nagoya, Japan in the late 60s, and weighed a ton. I shipped it off to Milford, Connecticut.
Hunting for vintage items is always exciting, I never know what I will find next. Stay tuned for more exciting finds in the future!
