OMG! Have you ever seen a more beautiful coffee grinder for your morning cup of Joe? This gorgeous grinder likely did duty in a store, grinding coffee for patient customers. Dave and Barbara estimate that it is circa 1875. It is in absolutely beautiful condition. The drawer that holds the ground coffee is not shown in the picture, but is safely stored in a file so that it doesn’t mysteriously “go missing.“

Ever get that “sinking” feeling? This one is a real beauty. Dee offers this late Victorian walnut piece that’s been converted to a wash stand. There’s a lovely brass sink, and the mirror is part of the package.

Check out this contraption! It’s in our window on Fourth Street. It looks a little bit like a Portuguese man-of-war, but it’s actually a permanent wave machine! Popular from the 1920s to the 1940s these elaborate machines were used to give hair permanents. Stylists would wrap sections of a client’s hair around the heated metal clamps to create the permanent waves.  Now you know why the Toni Home Permanent kit was such a big hit when it was introduced in 1944!

Colorful Uzbek skull caps, hand stitched. Patterns on the caps often carry deep meaning, such as almond flowers for life and renewal, or ram’s horns for strength and prosperity. In Uzbekistan, they are worn by all age groups, from newborns to elders, as a symbol of identity, respect, and tradition. The caps are rooted in local customs and Islamic traditions, where men kept their heads covered outside the home. Available in Jane’s aisle case.
