Retro Revolution
Share
World-Famous Vintage Store now celebrating our 13th year! We approach every aspect of our business and personal lives with a “Greed-Free” mindset.
Retro-Revolution began in Arizona as a vintage store (under a different name) for those “Born in the Wrong Decade.” As the demand for all things vintage grew, other vintage stores and even thrift stores capitalized on those demands and raised prices to extreme levels while our prices always remained the same. We knew that the attraction of vintage items was based on customers being able to obtain unique items for cheap. Ironically enough, refusing to jump on the greed bandwagon made us “revolutionaries” leading to the new name of Retro-Revolution. It was a customer who referred to our store as a “Greed-Free Zone” which we liked so much we adopted it as our motto. “Greed-Free” does not just refer to our prices. Partnering with our neighbors (not competing) and coming together as a community in support of local business, artists, and entrepreneurs is the fastest way to heal the economy and build a better tomorrow. Retro-Revolution offers a phenomenally diverse and constantly changing collection of vintage stock. NEW ITEMS EVERYDAY! No matter what your vintage taste may be (modern to kitsch), you’ll find it here and for less than you would pay anywhere else. So come in and “Join the Revolution.” If you do not find what you are looking for just ask, we probably have it in back stock or can get it for you. Everyone is welcome at Retro-Revolution even the four legged variety…PET FRIENDLY!

It’s been so crazy busy that it’s taken me 3 weeks to get thru a lot of this…some has sold, some within minutes of me pricing it. And I still have more to go thru!
Pics of non-glass stuff tomorrow!

Busy working on massive restocking…first is lots of fun glass stuff. Drove for 13 hours one day, awake for 22 hours, slept 4 hours, drove some more…
After the glass I’ll get to more Halloween, then Christmas, in addition to everything else thrown in there somewhere lol. Now you know why I’m tired all the time!

I had no idea there were so many urology professionals and enthusiasts in Madison! Sold the first batch of the glass urine specimen bottles, and as promised, found more, including a few of the “Perfection Urine Specimen Bottle”…for those who enjoy perfection!

I don’t think I ever knew that another name for old telephone tables/benches is a “gossip bench.” Nor did I know that the old Wisconsin Telephone Company made cool signage in the 60s!

The fortune telling snow globe told me that one of these clowns was responsible for the Wendy’s closing down the street.

Looking for a fun way to drink a refreshing glass of warm lemonade during this smoking hot summer? YER IN luck!
These old glass urine specimen jars are just what the doctor ordered! Even tho they were originally meant for “The Devil’s Lemonade,” they have limitless possibilities!
A customer wanted me to keep my eyes open for one because they used it as a toothbrush holder, a few days later I found some, then I found even more this past week…I’m pretty sure I’ve never even seen these before, now it’s like I’m being showered with golden treasure!
I did channel my inner Martha Stewart and add a splash of transparent yellow cellophane to brighten them up. Now they’re like overflowing bottles of sunshine…and don’t worry, I absolutely did not clean them at all.
