OT Moving story

[TwoDawgs]

In the house we are moving into the people left a vintage 1949 soda fountain counter behind. It is from a company called Bastian Blessing, and in my research and phone calls to collectors and soda fountain companies I am hearing great things about its potential value. Here is an article with pictures from a 1940s Bastian Blessing brochure http://blog.retroplanet.com/bastian-blessing-superior-soda-fountains/ It is called The Redfield.

Pretty Cool. But I watch many of the home shopping / makeover shows and I can just hear some of those folks complain how that has to go. No Granite countertops! Can't have all that wood! Too bold!

Emailed pictures to and talked to the American Soda Fountain company in Chicago and they said it was worth $5,000-$7,500 and maybe more!! Restaurants, UGA fans (red and black) with money to spend, or soda fountain collectors should be interested.
