This is a great collection and I really like the design of the site. It looks good but is simple, loads fast, and just works. I suppose the design of the site fits well with the vintage items shown.

Under Knockoffs and Ripoffs I learned that RealTone became Soundesign which is now iHome. I wondered what happened to Soundesign and figured RealTone went away entirely many years ago. I've only looked at a few categories and I've already learned several pieces of fun new trivia.

This is ace! Thanks for posting. All the kitschy stuff you can set your gaze upon. I wonder what his house his like?

What a great site! Easy to navigate and has excellent photos to download.

I now have meta-nostalgia for the early 90s, when I could still find kitschy nic nacks at thrift stores prices.
