Our very first post!

We are christening this blog space today with our very first post featuring some of the treasures that we found yesterday.
Holler!

This little baby is waiting for some love.  It was made in Chicago by the Imperial Camera Corp. sometime in the 1970's.  Aesthetically it's in good condition and the shutter still works so we have high hopes! It does need a few parts before we can get it working.  Keep an eye out for it in the shop (we'll list is as soon as it works).

This is a rare Chess Clock from the Bohemia company of West Germany!  I think it's so amazing that it says West Germany on the front and also on the bottom. It looks very mid century modern and is in working order...you can even hear time ticking away.  Find it in the shop here

I' thought about keeping this book (along with Volume I that's full of science experiments and yummy illustrations) for myself...but alas we can't keep everything we find!
Find Volume V here (Volume I coming soon)

We stumbled across this cute set of Morton Salt coasters in great condition.  Perfect for any Chicagoan who loves the "Umbrella Girl".

This Alice in Wonderland Book dated from 1951 is in almost perfect condition and is filled with classic illustrations!  Find it here.

We already sold this cute Pyrex turquoise Amish ButterPrint butter dish...but keep an eye out in the shop for more Pyrex goodies!

Thanks for checking us out and stay tuned for even more delicious treasures, features, photos and stories from MimoWares!  Don't forget to check out our brand new online store MimoWares

p.s.  We dug DEEP for these finds and endured a swarm of bugs, terrible terrible smells and dark scary basements...makes the hunt even more of a memorable adventure!
