$150 - Vintage Walnut Barrister
The seller says this came straight from the Department of Justice - I love leftover government furniture. I love barristers even more and $150 is an excellent price (in my opinion).

$225 - Globe Wernicke Tanker Desk
Lookit, lookit! Globe Wernicke is classic. They patented the ever-popular barrister bookcase. They also specialized in desks and these metal ones appeared during WWII when 90% of the company's production was turned to military equipment. This looks to be in great condition. Get it!
"Made in the USA. Mid-century (1940's - 1960's). Globe - Wernicke S-670 industrial tank desk made of heavy gauge steel. Measures 60" long x 32" wide x 30.5" tall. Double pedestal design with one file drawer on right, two pull out writing surfaces and center locking drawer (no key). All drawers operate smoothly. Original brushed aluminum pulls. Newer black vinyl applied to original top. Original Globe - Wernicke label intact. Overall great condition."
Here's a similar one on Etsy for $375...
$125 - Tray Style Coffee Table
This isn't my particular style, but maybe it's yours? It's super classy and looks to be in great shape. Love the tray-style top and leg detail. You could paint this a different color with a minimal amount of work...?
$90 - Atomic Pendant
Oh Snap. BUY THIS PLEASE!
"Vintage hanging light fixture in the style of Poul Henningsen for Louis Poulsen. This is a European fixture because it has a brown (hot wire) and blue (neutral) wire per European standards. There are no labels or marks, but may be by Frandsen, Denmark."

$110 - Pair Teak and Brass Lamps
Although these were posted to CL a while ago, I thought the price was too high to feature here... they've dropped the price a bit now, so maybe that helps. Love them. Measurements are 26H x 5W.
"The base is teak wood and the top is brass.
The lamps are in working oder and have somewear to the brass portion. The wood base has
lines in the wood but it does not distract
from the uniqueness of the lamp...."

$125 - MCM Brass Sconce
pre-WWII Schwinn bicycle-$900
Would be great for the next tweed ride! But be prepared to put some work into this collector's item if you want to keep up with the pack.

$50 - Pair Mid Century Night Stands
$50 for the pair is a great price...the picture isn't great but they look pretty swanky.
$50 - Pair Crate & Barrel Retro Stools
$280 - Mid Century Loveseat
Love it. Looks like it might just need a little cleaning? Seems a little pricey...?

$2750 - Vintage Vibrating Exercise Machine
This is your lucky day - for a mere $2750, you can own this original vibrating belt machine!! These hilariously useless pieces of crap became popular after WWII and remained in use until at least the 70s. I think all that shaking would only serve to point out, in detail, all of my "wobbly bits..."

$200 - Vintage Outdoor Chairs
Love love love these metal outdoor chairs - great color too! I can't decide on the price...what do you think?

$475 - Four Bertoia Dining Chairs
A single brand new chair costs $540 from DWR. eBay's prices are all over the place and I think the ad says these might need some love. Still, they're original, and that means something to some people.

$175 - Set of 4 Retro Style Dining Chairs
These aren't vintage, but I think they're a pretty good price for a good looking set.
$80 - Chrome & Glass End tables
No dimensions are provided on these but they'd look great with these chrome lamps.

$50 - 1950s Fixer Upper
I'm wondering if the wooden top could be refinished? Love the hairpin legs.
Measures 80"x24"
$80 - Crate & Barrel Aluminum Stools
Nice look, and they swivel! It's not clear if the price is $80 for both (which is obviously the better deal), or $80 each. These are $109 new on C&B.
Still Listed - Pair Chrome Lamps

$20 - Danish Modern Ice Bucket
$350 - Vintage Pepsi Sign

Ghanaian Barbershop Sign
I don't even know where to begin. This vintage 1980s/1990s sign has A LOT of rediculously relevant stuff going on. History, vibrant colors, Kid n' Play hairstyles (you can have your pick of the 'Concord,' the 'Gentle Cut,' or the 'Boeing 707') - need I go on?! I think I'd be even more intrigued as to how this sign made it from Ghana to Baltimore...do you check it? Carry on? I must know more.
Vintage Industrial Drafting Stools/PoP Phenomenal Finds
These are definitely the same ones we had in highschool and in my college Design department (War Eagle!)...I'm sure they look pretty familiar to a lot of you. But I love the yellow and the price is pretty friggin great. I think the ad is saying $35 each or $225 for eight. Again, large numbers of matching stools on CL are hard to come by, much less ones with this much character.
Which brings me to my next point! Check out my weekly Prince of Petworth Friday post, "Phenomenal Finds" (usually published around lunch-ish), for more industrial inspired CL finds. This is my third week of posting for PoP and it's been tons of fun so far - thanks PoPville!
$35 - 1950s Step Stool
I have a stool almost identical to this one (mine's blue), and I love it. It's every bit as functional as it seems, and because it looks so damn good, you never have to feel like you have to store it away between uses. By the way...that gorgeous color looks to be pretty close to the 2012 Pantone Color of the Year: Tangerine Tango. Legit.
This similar, baby blue one is pretty sweet too.

$60 - Wire Chair
I've said it once and I'll say it again - there is nothing wrong with knock-offs. This chair may not be Bertoia, but it would still get the job done...and for a lot cheaper at that (unless I'm missing something, I'd try to talk the price down just a bit).
$850 - Mid Century Platform Bed
This is seriously amazing. Love the floating, attached nightstands. I'd love to ad an eclectic little stool underneath my side to put magazines on. And under-the-bed storage?!
GAH...please buy it STAT so that I can live vicariously through you.
$50 - Atomic Coffee Table
The ad hints that this table may not be the sturdiest of the sturdy...still, it'd be a fun addition to any atomic/modern look.

$75 - Set of 3 Retro Barstools
Barstools on Craigslist are tough - it seems like they always come in odd/inconvenient numbers. Hopefully three is perfect for someone, somewhere and these are a great price for a truly retro look. The ad says they are in 'excellent' condition.
CANNONDALE R1000 ULTEGRA 58cm - $750

18.5 inch Bridgestone Mountain bike - $120
Still Listed - $125 Mid Century Chair Base
Read my original post here for some of my ideas...
$100 - Modern Glass & Metal Desk/Table
The office chair, which is pretty 'bleh' is included in the price.
Desk/table measurements: length: 79 inches, width 35 inches deep, height 27.5 inches
$125 - Mid Century Credenza
I don't think this piece has any kind of 'designer' name attached to it...but who cares - the lines are lovely and it looks super functional. The ad doesn't provide dimensions and the condition isn't super clear from the picture...at $125, it's worth a look for sure.

$200 - Eames Molded Plastic Chairs/Table
The seller says these are Eames molded chairs purchased from Room and Board several years ago. If that is indeed true then this is a sweet deal - the chairs alone are $250 new from Room & Board...
$45 - Vintage General Electric Wall Clock
Love it. GE! The ad describes it with the following inticing words:
The clock keeps time beautifully and works well in spite of the bent time setting button pictured below. If you are inclined to disassemble things, the inside of the glass and the face would benefit from a good cleaning. The descriptions I find about this clock describe it as a school-type clock with a bakelite case from the late 50s/early 60s. Model number is 2912.
I love this one from Modern 50 (along with everything else from Modern 50).
Still Listed - Industrial Desktop Toolbox
Read the old post here.
$300 (obo) - Deco Dental Cabinet
I can think of a million ways someone could use this cabinet! It looks like it could be in fairly rough shape, and I have no idea what the refinishing opportunities are...but the rewards may be worth it. Love the deco lines and multiple drawer depths.
This one on eBay is way cool.
So is this one on AntiqueHelper.
