The antiques collection of our neighbors Sharon and Steve provides a beautifully restored and curated look into Americana of previous eras. I’m familiar with references to Wurlitzers but I can’t recall having seen more than a few.
In addition to yesterday’s Edison player, Steven and Sharon also have a Victrola, a gorgeous stereoscope viewer, and a radio from an era where they came in wood cases.
Have you been to a casino lately? The typical experience is a near overload of lights and sound. These three slot machines are frozen in a period that could barely imagine today’s experience. The one on the right, by the way, is also a mint dispenser, the candy providing a handy way to legitimize gambling during prohibition.
Thanks for the flash back. You made my think of sweet memories.
A home full of beautiful things. And I certainly remember radios in wood cases and Wurlitzers!
Oh my I’m swooning Kay! The juke box looks in brilliant condition.. your neighbours look after their ‘old things’ very well 😊
It’s hard to imagine what people did before they had ipads and cellphones.
I’ve seen a Wurlitzer, but they are exceedingly rare.
My uncle used to have a radio like that, I remember listening to it at night. Some nice vintage slot machines.
Your neighbors have quite an interesting collection. Beautiful Wurlitzer!
These people have a remarkable collection of artefacts from a bygone era. What a joy to see and photograph them.
