I was happy to find this case. The price was a little high for me at 20, but I was always looking to add some Roche to my collection. Mold number 31.
This blog will document my second hand, mid-century, and designer treasures. I am a fequent visitor of thrift stores and garages sales. As I build my collection, I hope to encorage others to do the same. Thank you for visiting!

Early American Modern Arm Chair
I have been eyeing this early modern American armchair at the goodwill outlet for 3 weeks. It was is discusting shape. The vinyl was caked in dirt and dust, and the lower cusion was covered over with green floral fabric (from curtains). I thought I could feel the original vinal seat under the curtain but I wasn't certain. I talked them down to $2 because it would take a lot of work to get it back in good shape. It took about 1 &1/2 hours to take appart the seat, remove the fabric, and scrub the vinyl. I was happy all the work payed off. After getting the fabric off, I found that a seam on the seat had ripped. I put duct tape on the underside of the vinyl for now. I may try to re-sew it from the inside, but not now.
The chair is solid (and I mean solid) oak. It is upolsterd with two colors of vinyl; creame and brown. The bend in the back legs, tilting forward of the front legs, and contoured seat give it a great modern look.
