SOLD- kitschy 1970's retro owl clock- $34

owls for sale! Burwood Products Company owl clock, circa 1973, to be exact. you've seen owls in many different forms here for sale at seattle junk love, but nothing quite like this. a family of 3 owls (or maybe they're just a group of friends and not related to each other at all) perched on a leafy branch ready to tell you the time of day. all day every day. or until the AA battery dies and you replace it with a new one. these owls are made of plastic, yet are oh-so-real-looking. that's the genius of Burwood Products Company! and let me tell you, the lovely folks at BPC are a fine example of pure 1970's scientific advancement in america. it's no coincidence these owls were manufactured so close on the heals of our country's maiden voyage to the moon. it's not a stretch to see the connection. anyway, these new owl friends of yours will eternally stare at you with their glassy orange eyes, and reassure you that everything in life will be just fine. how can you pass them up?

SOLD- rustic, vintage cast-iron owl lantern- $75

this classic early 20th century cast iron owl lantern comes to you from an estate in dallas, texas, and the neighborhood of deep ellum. and if you know anything about deep ellum, then you know this owl has seen some pretty cool sh*t in his day. deep ellum became a hub of industry in 1884 with the construction of a number of mills and factories, and later famously spawned dallas' early jazz, blues, punk rock, and arts scene- a pretty cool place for our owl-friend to have lived his life. he stands about 11 perfectly rustic inches tall, and has an attached ring for easy hanging. place a candle beneath him, and he'll beautifully radiate like only an owl can. almost too good looking to be trapped indoors, and perhaps too pretty to sit outside in the rain. so, it's a good thing he's cast iron- you can do just about whatever you want with him and he'll endure.
