New goodness up for auction on eBay this week!

I did actually manage to list a few auctions this week, in spite of all the extra work I have been doing for Swap Vintage, and another new project I'm working on (yes, I know, I am a glutton for punishment). Hopefully this coming week I'll be able to up the auction count a bit - wish me luck! :)

Vintage Youngstown Steel Kitchen Cabinet Brochures

At the same sale where I found the vintage JC Penney catalog, I also scored TWO vintage Youngstown steel kitchen cabinet sales brochures. I won't waste a bunch of time talking about them - I can sum it up pretty neatly with one word - LOVE. (Click the photos to enlarge!)

From Brochure #1:

From Brochure #2:

Before Shot (which I also love!):

After Shot (love again, of course!):

If you have any interest in vintage steel kitchen cabinets, or in retro styled kitchens in general, these are a must have! Click on over if you want to place a bid, they are up for auction right now! :)

Vintage JC Penney Fall / Winter 1967 Fashion Catalog

I LOVE finding old catalogs - and this one is AWESOME. It is too thick to fit onto my scanner, so I had to snap some photos of the pages with my camera - not ideal, but it gives you a decent idea of all the 60's goodness that is inside...

It's one of those everything you could ever want cataglogs - clothing for women, men and kids, housewares, linens... the list goes on and on. It's up at auction right now, if you want to own it! :)
