Happy 4th of July!

Retro Mombo is having a 4th of July Sale ALL DAY today.  Please visit in between the parade, the BBQ and the Fireworks!

I probably am late to the game, but I joined Pinterest.  I like it.  I have created three boards and am already following one person.  If you have the time, check it out.

It's a great day for a flea market.  If you are out and about or not....go visit the REDEEMER'S CHURCH FLEA MARKET  on Sunbury Road in Westerville, Ohio.  Saturday 9 AM to 3 PM.  The church is located on Sunbury between County Line Road and Maxtown.  Happy Marketing.

To add the images, I switched to Chrome.  

Does anyone know what this case was used for?  I think it is a Salesman Sample Carrying Case.  I just don't know specifically what was carried in the case.  If you have any ideas, post them here.  I tried to upload an image, but it looks like I can't, so I will post a link.

What is on sale this week?    Free Shipping!!

Keeping the Fish Tale Alive

I'd like to say I had a grand plan with regards to all these fish, but I did not.  I have been thinking about putting these lovely turquoise glass fish on auction for a while.  I originally wanted to hang them on the wall but could never figure it out.  The plate holders I am familiar with did not work with the shape of the fish.
So, I put the fish on auction this week.  See for yourself.

A Fishy Tale



Glasbake Milk Glass Casserole


Last week I bought a lovely milk glass casserole in the shape of a fish.  It just arrived and I love it.  It came with a basket so the casserole can go from oven to table.  Baked fish recipes from the manufacturer and the original box were part of the purchase too.  Glasbake was part of the McKee Glass Company. It says on some of the original paperwork that came with the casserole that both were a division of the Thatcher Glass Company.  Thatcher bought McKee (and Glasbake) in the 1940's and sold the company in 1961.  So I can sort of date my new fish between the 40's and 1961 which makes the fish a Retro Fish. Ha! Actually, you could date me the same way.  Which is vague and the way I like it.  Have a good day.
