True magazine is on the bottom shelf. The figurines on the top shelf are scary Krofft type characters.

When I was growing up we had the same model shelves. Based on personal experience, each shelf does not hold up to 300 pounds.

The same objects will appear again and again. The blue maracas, bongos and some strange blue container are part of the decor.

It seems rather pointless to have such empty looking shelves. I cannot wrap my mind around the idea of only two or three objects on a shelf. Maybe it is the way I view shelves: A way to keep stuff off the floor.

This page has everything: kitsch, scary things looking out of cabinets, vintage toys, sports equipment that is laying around too neatly, trophies (bowling and baseball), magazines, the strange blue container, bongos and maracas.

Magazines: Sports Illustrated, Time, Life, Golf Digest and a unknown. Cheap looking Peanuts figurines, bowling and baseball trophies and a jar and dish of some unknown substance - not sure if it is edible.

No bongos or maracas here.

I'm having trouble thinking of something to write. Maybe shaking those maracas will help the creative juices flow!
