Seeburg

[trickykitty]

I was happily perusing one of my local antique stores the other day and came across a Seeburg Jukebox that reminded me of a flat-bottomed ice cream cone. (No, I did not purchase it - I want a Wurlitzer damn it. Oooh - Shiny Black Onyx box.)

Here ya go, image courtesy of the web:



The one I saw was in about the same condition, although I don't know if it worked. It was quite impressive in size and I'd never seen one like it before. While looking for a picture link, I also came across a barnyard-find version of the same jukebox:

It was a hefty just-under-$5k. For that price, it should also shine your shoes.

If you are interested in it or just want to go and touch it, and want to spend an entire day looking at antiques because I guarantee this place will suck you in and never let go, please go and check out Lonestar Antiques (http://local.yahoo.com/info-18895211-lone-star-antiques-haltom-city) in Haltom City. They also have a tea room that is to die for. You go for a snack and tea and spend the time admiring the amazing antique buffets (also for sale) and HUGE bar that they have adorning the room. The warehouse-sized antique mall will literally take a few hours of your time, and that's while walking along at a nice and steady pace.
