I have oodles more old pig figurines waiting to appear in my shop!

1960s NOS* Princess hand-cut crystal pendant
NOS stands for 'new old stock,' i.e. stuff made in whatever decade that remains 'new.' i.e. it sat unsold, therefore it's still new. Another term for this is 'dead stock.'
========================================================================
Lastly, but hundreds of parsecs from leastly we have one of the sweetest things EVER! SOLD
Note that a) this looks waayyyy better in person, and b) it's not a tray, there are holes in the back for hanging on your wall. You just need wire or string.

latest additions to my collection of vintage advertising ashtrays
It's been a very lucky couple of months.
What's unlucky is that I can't find at least two that I bought within the last month. But I'm sure they're in the house somewhere.
On to what you came for:
Bill's Blue Room, Elizabeth, NJ
The place is not googleable.
It would have been one of those buildings in the background:
========================================================================
Bingaman Motor Express
It appears that Hall's Motor Company doesn't exist anymore, nor do Buch or Bingaman.
======================================================================
Jimmie's Spaghetti House, Madison, WI
Not googleable.
And 906 Regent Street doesn't even exist anymore. 
The building on the left is 910 Regent St. the one of the right is 902 Regent St.
=====================================================================
Rose Tea Garden Tourist Court
not googleable.
=====================================================================
Sam the Tailor
========================================================================
Thus ends today's collection.
But look at this fun thing I found on the 'net:
You'd have thought that little foot would have set her straight that this was not a human.
That's a very adorable cat. And the little white bonnet sends that adorableness to somewhere in the stratosphere.
