Some pics from the Woolloongabba Antique Centre today :)

Pin-Up Art by Al Moore

Here are some great Al Moore Pin-Ups we just got in, they all date from the 1950's. We especially love the "Heartbreaker" one, its a large oversize foldout we just had this one framed and its due in the WAC store on friday - along with these and some other nice Varga & Petty girls, more on those soon!

Old Australian Ads

We just got these lovely late 1940's ads in stock, some old household names still going strong today. Gotta love the little Ovaltine girl in her pig-tails & polka dots, also the "Little Nipper" from His Masters Voice & an early Morris Minor from 1949! Lots more in the shop now over at the WAC.

The Perfect House 1950 style!

Just found these great prints from a magazine from 1950. The focus is on light & living with all the mod-cons of a modern (then futuristic) look. You will notice some of the extras added to the house nothing too out of this world, a bar, movie & tv room then look in the gaqrage area, space for your car & helicopter! The architect was Sherwood, Mills & Smith with renderings by GCR (George Cooper Randolph Associates). The boys at M.I.T. cooked this up with the idea of an all year round escape feel and the esthetics effect of human emotion. Take a look
