<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 68042, member: 210"]I don't remember if it was Brad or Gregg who asked about the glass top table he saw in my couch picture of my couch. This is one of two coffee tables I bought at a house sale. They originally had the brighter blue cobalt tops, but my father worked at Nurre's glass factory in Egg Harbor City, NJ back in the 1940s and he saved this other thicker glass with a more aquamarine color. This glass is much rarer than the standard bright cobalt blue, and this glass is very thick. I was so happy that my father's glass tops fit into these tables. I also got a low coffee table, large and squarish, that I gave to my sister. The whole set of three was $85. I think vintage furniture is so much more of a bargain than new furniture. [ATTACH=full]17591[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And I found this last week at an ARC thrift shop. I went in every week and looked at it.....at first they wanted $75, too steep. Then they marked it down to $56.25....considered it. Then the last time I was looking at it the manager said "Make me an offer" so I offered $40, and he said $45, sold! I use it to keep my canned cat food and cat treats in. [ATTACH=full]17592[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
