About

Vintage and retro collector in the kitchen.

Update:  Since I began this blog I developed an interest in the props and set dressings seen on the popular “I Love Lucy” show.  As a result many of my post on this blog  focus on my own discoveries of “prop-alike” vintage finds that match items I have seen used on screen on the show and some contributions from helpful like minded collectors .

I am not an expert on original props and cannot offer any advice on authenticity of items claimed to be genuine props. The ease I have found in discovering vintage items that match screen used items seen on the show should, I hope, make it abundantly clear to the novice collector that we need reliable  provenance to substantiate a claim that an item is an original screen used prop,  a screen capture to show that the item was screen used is helpful but not usually not sufficient in itself  to prove authenticity.

If you are  collector and wish to share information on your finds I should be delighted to hear from you.

Happy Collecting!
