2 lovely auto trolleys

Mid-Century Trolley

Unfortunately all holidays come to an end.  My last purchase for the holidays was a fantastic mid century auto (or drinks) trolley.  Auto trolleys are more commonly seen in dark timber with turned legs.  I did already have a beautiful art deco trolley that is now for sale on eBay.  See the two pictures to compare styles.  Which one do you like better?   I love both of them, but the retro style is my new passion and fits into my living room style.  I hope someone buys the art deco one and loves it though.

Art Deco Trolley

The art deco trolley I bought last year at Abbey's Auctions.  The mid-century trolley I bought last weekend at The Second Hand Shop.  I had seen the trolley on their website in the previous weeks and really liked it.  However, it wasn't until I read a tweet Saturday morning about them having a sale with 10-20% off most items, that I had the sudden urge to drive an hour across the other side of Melbourne to see if they still had it.  After parting with $200 I had the trolley and was heading home.  I have a few "barenalia" things on the trolley.  As you can see I like amber glassware (amongst many other things).
