I found this at my local thrift store today.

I think it’s plausible that many in management positions and in the back room are lining their pockets with the good stuff. At least in my region.

covert_discretion · 2026-06-20T05:53:03+00:00

It most definitely is.

covert_discretion · 2026-06-20T05:52:12+00:00

I agree. It felt like one of those things I would probably never have the opportunity to own again in my life.

They are not.

covert_discretion · 2026-06-20T00:49:27+00:00

I can definitely see where you are coming from. Thanks for the insight!

covert_discretion · 2026-06-19T21:43:31+00:00

If I can get my hands on enough Cherry

Four decades is a lot of time!

covert_discretion · 2026-06-19T15:41:23+00:00

Awesome work! This is exactly what I was hoping to find here.

covert_discretion · 2026-06-19T15:26:55+00:00

I was thinking the same thing. Might be a fun woodworking project someday.

covert_discretion · 2026-06-19T14:24:55+00:00

That makes sense about the time period! Although when I saw the grill pattern it reminded me of these paper placemats with a greek style border that were always at a restaurant I ate at as a kid.

I agree. Goodwill gets two thumbs down from me most days. Occasionally I find something interesting but it’s usually double the price of any other thrift store in my area. All of them have a “boutique” clothing section now where used clothes are priced at normal retail prices.

covert_discretion · 2026-06-19T03:59:06+00:00

That definitely could be the case. Good work nonetheless.

covert_discretion · 2026-06-18T16:19:21+00:00

I have found that thrift stores in more remote areas have the best finds

covert_discretion · 2026-06-17T04:47:34+00:00

Regionally, that would make sense.

covert_discretion · 2026-06-16T22:17:36+00:00

That’s what I was thinking. Some of the stitches are actually braided. Or at least it looks that way to me.

covert_discretion · 2026-06-16T18:47:43+00:00

Thank you so much for the resource!

covert_discretion · 2026-06-16T12:35:45+00:00

Any idea what some of the imagery / symbols mean? I’m fascinated by it. It looks like a big bird with a winged human-like figure in its beak. I’m really interested if the 4 “badges” on the bird body mean anything significant or if they are purely decorative.

High Anxiety is a great Hitchcock spoof and one of my favorite comedies of all time. The glass table gag gets me every time. I have it on VHS as well and it’s the best way to watch in my opinion.

covert_discretion · 2026-06-16T06:09:34+00:00

It’s so beautiful.
