I like Dice. Especially the ones that are of clear material; clear, red material!
Got these at an Estate sale. They were bagged, all for a dollar!! Various Printed Sands Logos and a Curtis! (...?)

Playtex "100% Safe" Hair Cutter
Picked this up at a yard sale, sitting in a toolbox.
Looks safe! 100% Safe!!
Uses a real razor blade to trim hair, just comb and voila! No split ends!!
Razor is caged, so no more cut fingers!
Adjustable dial from 'Bowl Cut' to 'Paige Boy!' The wave of the future!

Vintage "Seasons" Aluminum Trays; coaster/ash trays
Where: Unique Thrift Shop NJ
Paid $1.61 for set
Nice little trays for Change and stuff!
Portrays a different etched motif for each of the 4 seasons. I scored 7 in the pack that was hanging for sale. Unique thrift, like some of it's other sister-stores, have a good knack of bagging stuff in bundles and placing a cheap price on them!

Seiko Quartz Travel Alarm Clock
I like interesting Clocks, be it analog (preferred!), or digital. This one has a little crown you can pull and spin to set time and set alarm. Little backlight button, and folds up into its case. Very Clean and just a little den on the cover. It does work fine, as I loaded batteries into it after these pictures!

Vintage Welsh/Bausch & Lomb Driving sunglasses
Where: Salvage/junk thrift Shop on Staten Island, NY
Paid: $10
Sick sick sick. Steampunks rejoice! Perfect, green tinted Glass. "Welsh' printed on the nose bezel, "B&L" stamp on the rusty old steel case. They had a warped piece of greenish tinted plastic on the eyecups, which I removed; it was the only one there. I wore these a couple of times and were very much appreciated. I normally wear glasses so wearing these can be a little daunting. The metal bezels on the eyecups are very thin and will bend immediately. They fold up backwards (I forget the what earpieces are called)

Vintage Porcelain White/cobalt Push-Pull door plates
Where: a close friend whose house was trashed by Hurricane Sandy
These were given to me. My friends house was destroyed during the hurricane, and when he brought me inside to check out the Basement, these were the first things I seen, and he was actually holding them for me!
In near-perfect condition, white is very white and the cobalt blue is so lush and azure. Still has the original grommets. Hard to get these in this condition for they're usually salvaged and are worn where many pushes have been... Unknown Date, possibly 1940's. Grey Dots are what seem to be paint splots.
