Franklin Badminton Rackets 1960’s Wood and Metal

The modern version of badminton is thought to have been invented in 1873 by the Duke of Beaufort at his Gloucestershire, England estate, Badminton House. The Duke introduced the game to his guests at a lawn party, calling it “the Badminton game” after the estate’s name. The name stuck, and the sport became known as badminton. 

However, the game’s origins can be traced back more than 2,000 years, when versions of the game were played in China, Greece, and India. The game was originally called “battledore” and was based on an ancient game of battledore and shuttlecock. In the 1800s, British army officers stationed in India introduced a net and court to the game, which is how it developed into the modern version. Retired officers then brought the game back to England, where the Duke of Beaufort first played it.

Franklin Sports got its start in 1946 as a regional brand of sporting goods products. Irving H. Franklin, who co-founded Franklin Sports in 1946 with his brother Sydney Franklin, brought the innovative idea of centering a complete line of products on a single athlete – Joe Namath.

Displaying vintage sporting equipment as decorative art brings a sense of fun into your room. As a conversation piece, you will find everyone has a story to tell about a game played or watched.

Add a little history to your home with this set of four (4) rackets from the 1960’s made by the Franklin Sports. They have a wood frame, metal shaft and wrapped handle. Pick them up $25 at 437 Main Street, Klamath Falls, Oregon.

MCM Silver Fade Roly Poly Glasses
With a dramatic growth of affluence in the 1950’s, couples retreated to the suburbs, and home cocktail parties epitomized the decade’s popular lifestyle image. The domestic bar became the crown jewel of home ownership, a boozy playground for the American male, and mixing cocktails at home became one of the manly arts, like carving a turkey. The glass called the “Roly Poly” came to define mid-century drinking in America. All about comfort and fitting nicely in the hand, each glass holds just the right amount for a cocktail or a dram of a favorite scotch or bourbon. When fitted with a large single round or square ice cube the roly poly glass gives a very modern vibe.
Available for you to add a little style to your home bar at 437 Main St, Klamath Falls, Oregon. $36

Rumrill Gypsy Trail Pattern serving pitcher 1938 Shawnee

George Rumrill was a marketer of his own and others’ pottery, a valuable talent during the Depression. Between 1931 and 1942, Rumrill farmed out his unusual designs to several companies in Minnesota and Ohio. In one crowded decade, he had his unique designs produced for about five years by Red Wing, in Minnesota, followed by a year with Shawnee, two years by Florence and another two or so years by Gonder, all Ohio potteries.
George Rumrill was a significant figure in the development of Red Wing’s art pottery and dinnerware. He introduced new shapes and glazes, and was instrumental in the roll out of the Gypsy Trail dinnerware line. 
The looped handle on this particular pitcher, tells us that it is a slightly modified version of the Red Wing pitcher and was made for Rumrill by Shawnee Pottery. It is marked on the bottom with “rumrill” in lower case letters enclosed by two horizontal lines which was Shawnee’s mark from his short lived relationship with them.
George Rumrill died in 1943 from tuberculosis. After his death, companies such as Redwing, Bauer and continued to produce art pottery from Rumrill designs into the late 1960s, sometimes using Rumrill’s molds with or without his mark.

A “Ferris Wheel” cocktail caddy is a remnant of the rising practice of hosting cocktail hours in American Society. It was not just enough to provide amazing drinks, one must do it with flair and style. The Ferris Wheel with it’s ice bucket and glasses allowed the host to take the party to a more intimate setting, such as the patio, poolside or nestled in a chair under a tree. Culver Glass Company made unique bar ware in the 1950s and the Ferris Wheel, amongst many others, was one of theirs. Most Culver Glass drink caddies held six or eight glasses, this caddy has only four glasses and is smaller in diameter than a Culver, so it will take up less space on your bar, but still deliver the wow factor.

Take home a little wow factor, $25 at 437 Main Street, Klamath Falls, Oregon
