American of Martinsville Mid-Century Bar

Doing research on Broyhill furniture was pretty interesting, so I'm going to track down information on the other mid-century furniture pieces in our house. Up next, the bar we found on craigslist a few years ago.
It's an American of Martinsville bar.
In the top drawer it has a mechanized tray, with glass holders, that comes out when you open the door. Behind the tray is a mirror and a light to make your barware look swank.
Under that on the left is a cabinet with a drawer for silverware, swizzle sticks, etc. And on the right is a big cabinet to hold the booze.
I'll try to find out more about American of Martinsville and what line the bar might be from.

Mid-Century Famous

Thanks to Pam over at Retro Renovation for adding Mid-Century Austin Living to their blogroll. I've been a long time reader (and a former pink bathroom owner). It's nice to see the Mid-Century Austin Living name among the other great blogs there.

Mid-Century Austin Find: Vintage Airplane Seats

I love searching for vintage furniture online. But our house is getting full, so let me help you fill yours with some finds.

Circa 1962, these seats have been recently reupholstered in original Knoll fabric. Seats recline, have the original ashtray, seat belts and magazine storage in back. Could be perfect for a travel-themed nursery.

Broyhill Sculptra Desk

Our Broyhill Scupltra desk was finally delivered. It's a fantastic example of mid-century furniture. Here are the beauty shots.

This will go great in front of our mid-century chair.

Broyhill Sculptra Furniture Ad

I found this Broyhill Sculptra collection advertisement in the Tuesday, March 3, 1964 edition of the Red Bank Register (from New Jersey).

The text reads:

Sculptra Collection...
"Imaginative interiors for imaginative people"

No surprise ... to find such interesting styling in fine-grained walnut. For Foam Interiors makes a point of timeless styling to enhance your way of life. No surprise to find such a variety of pieces ... from unusual room dividers to a modern poster bed. And, naturally, you'd expect such quality details as pieces with "Corolith" tops that look like slate but will not crack ... as a new type of ball-bearing construction so that drawers glide with ease no matter what the weather. But if you glance at the prices shown here—you're in for the always-pleasant surprise that good taste need not be expensive. Tomorrow, see Sculptra and you'll see one of the finest furniture values in years.

shown above:
Triple Dresser, 66" wide 149.00
Framed plate glass mirror 39.00
Master Chest, 42x17x43" 119.00
Bookcase Bed 99.00
Night Stand, 24x15x23" 44.00

Make it a point to stop in for Foam Interiors' free brochure on Sculptra's dining and bedroom groups.

Now I know there's a Broyhill Sculptra furniture brochure out there, I just need to find it.
