Spending a lot more time in my hometown, which means THRIFTING! (Status: It's boring in my hometown)

My dads health has taken a slight down check and his mobility is getting pretty limited so I am the good son and travel to my hometown, spending a few days each week.  He sits at home, listens to Rush Limbaugh, watches sports talk shows and sleeps- which leaves me bored and with time to hit the thrifts.

Kipp Stewart Sun Coast end and coffee tables (Status: These are in bad shape)

I saved the Sun Coast pieces that were in the worst condition for last.  Maybe I should have passed on these end tables and the coffee table, but I got a good price...

Kipp Stewart Sun Coast captains chair (Status: Hey, that looks a lot like...)

There was only ONE Drexel Sun Coast chair available at the auction.  What happened to the rest of the set?  Who knows.  It's a dead ringer for a Declaration chair.

Kipp Stewart Sun Coast haul (Status: The good, the bad and the ugly)

Last week I won a couple of on-line estate auctions for five pieces of the rare Kipp Stewart, for Drexel, Sun Coast line of furniture.  I'll show these off over the next few posts, sadly, it is a story of good, bad and ugly.  Here is the good!
