The description, in total, is “Hard Rubber Jordan’s Mr. American Hot Dog.” I have no idea where I’d put this, but I’m thinking it could prove thought-provoking in the powder room.

And now that fall is indeed upon us, we can return to drinking hot beverages again: 19th-century painted Tole tea canister

I know it’s the end of the summer and all, but it’s good to plan ahead for next year, no? Plus, I know there are a few hot days left: Arctic fan, ca ’30s

I find myself very attracted to filing cabinets and card catalogs and chests of drawers in general, mainly because I’m an incredibly disorganized person who believes that if she could find *just* the right system, she could get organized: 51 drawers in 10 cabinets, ca 1900-1930

My god, I want this: Tom Thumb Portable Typewriter

For the game room, obvs: Ca. 1930 chrome dice cage

Really pristine Art Deco Bakelite pen set. For all the writing I haven’t been doing.

You all know my love of 19th-Century Medical Wax Hand Models.

For the mid-century architect fan club meeting room, a piece of history: Philip Johnson’s daybed, c.1952,  designed by Mies van der Rohe

MY GOD HOW MUCH FUN it would be to have this. To self-publish chapbooks from all the writing in the Typewriter Room. DIY, baby: Antique Automatic Rotary Cylinder Printing Press.
