Maybe it’s just the smell of old people and moth balls, but vintage items have a certain charm that new things will never have. Well, they might have it in 50 years, but that charm takes time to acquire. Whether it’s a hundred-year-old coffee table from a flea market or a wool sweater from the 1970s, vintage items are so special, and they help us reminisce on the “good old days”. Unfortunately, I cannot offer you a chaise longue that’s older than you to lay on or an ornate light fixture from my grandmother’s home, but I can provide you with a list of quirky photos from back in the day that might bring you a bit of joy.
We’ve gone through the Vintage Weird Facebook group and found some of our favorite images from simpler, yet possibly stranger, times to share with all of you vintage enthusiasts out there. So slip into that dress your grandmother gave you, get those Elvis tunes playing, and enjoy this list of some of peculiar blasts from the past. Below, you’ll also find an interview with Lisa Barrow, one of the creators and admins of Vintage Weird, where you can hear a bit more about the background of the page, and an interview with vintage expert and creator of the blog It’s Beyond My Control, Dominique de Merteuil.
