Snagged this to hang in the Space room. (Orange on the inside, 7" diameter). It's space-age, right? Looks like it to me. Seller said he had a twin, but it has a hairline crack. I took a chance and gave him a few bucks more for the second one. Fingers crossed it arrives in one piece, he offered to glue it, but that could cause a lot of problems... So, I'll get at least one. :) I hope!
Happy Tuesday. I'm still playing in the Pink room, my old childhood bed room, trying to get it fixed up the way I want it.
Oh and I got that RCA Victor Vibra radio in my last post already, and I love LOVE it!! No glowing from the back, thanks to (Carole, I believe?) so I guess it's a transistor, which is better.
Keep an eye out on eBay for one, really nifty, I love mine! :)

AWESOME! What size is this? Looks mini, but probably not mini enough for one of my midcentury dollhouses!
ReplyDelete7" diameter, hard to tell without any reference. I imagine it would be easy peasy to make something like this for a dollhouse.
ReplyDeleteNeat piece. Is it ceramic or plastic? I'm glad you got your radio so quickly. You've been having such a tough time with eBay lately.
ReplyDeleteCeramic... I think lol.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I always seem to get lucky with ebay arg...
Groovy!, I passed up one of those chairs with the speakers made into them shaped like this, and I could have killed myself over that! I had a radio like this in the sixties, though. That radio is cool, too! Good luck on the bedroom...can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteSpace room? Yes, it looks like it's just the thing to take into ORB-it! Isn't it so fun that a shape can conjure up the style of an era? Wonder what shape will define our current times?
ReplyDeleteawwww ZSM, I know I passed up a bunch of 50's - 60's stuff over the years when I wasn't specifically collecting it ...
ReplyDeleteHelen I asked that very question here not too long ago. No one including me had a good response!
Oh thats a cute little thing. I hope you get both and they arrive in one piece.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you love your radio, and it works well! =)
How do you say, "I love your orb" without sounding odd? :- ) Well, anyway, you know what I mean. That would be way groovy hung with clear nylon thread so it looks like it's suspended in air! I'm glad you got the second one even if it has a "hairline" crack (wise choice not having the guy glue it for you!). It would look cool hanging at a different length than the other. Space room huh? I must have missed that post. BTW - I ADORE your new radio & I'm pea green with envy Mz. Scarlet! I want one toooo! It's good to "see" you again - I've been away on vacation - a 600 mile PICK-A-RAMA on the northern California coast!
ReplyDeleteLove love love it! I love anything space age modern.
ReplyDeletePick A Rama...? Now I'm jealous!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to paint the office/space room. The weather is cooling so time is near. :)
Definitely space age to my eyes. Pardon the ignorance but what exactly is it? ( :
ReplyDeleteResembles an egg cup chair. The seller tagged it as an air fern planter. I'm going to hang them just as they are. :)
ReplyDeleteI was gonna ask the same question. But I get it now. One word...cool!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love these. I was out bid on something similar a short while back on Ebay. Anything space age-y gets me!
ReplyDeleteNow you KNEW I would love this, didn't you? Looks very much like the ball chair I WILL purchase some day soon. :)
