THE STOOP: A Lucky Strike Sign, A ‘Good’ Printer and A Dog Agility Trophy

This week we found some great treasures on the stoops of Park Slope.

One of the coolest items we found stoop-side was a vintage Luck Strike tin sign, although we don’t condone smoking cigarettes, it was still a great find—something that would go great in a bar, or well, a man cave.

We also found a “good printer” that seemed to be in great condition.

An item that reminds me of my grandmother was a wooden flower press. My grandmother would always collect flowers from her garden, press them and then laminate them on to greeting cards.

We also found a pair of leather shoes that have seen better days, but had a whole lot of character. They were well worn, worn in and ready for a classy jaunt throughout the city streets.

An item that is appropriate for the nice weather was a green iron patio table—something that would help sit a small gathering for a barbeque or a party.

However, the most quirky find was a first place trophy for a dog who won the “Dog Agility Championship” given by the North American Dog Agility Council.

A good read we found stoop-side was a book entitled: “The Confession” by Domenic Stansberry. Another good book was Robert Crais’ "Voodoo River."

A historical read of photographs of “Black Women Who Changed America” entitled, “I Dreamed a World,” features portraits of Oprah Winfrey, the poet Gwendolyn Brooks and many others.
