Great time at Modernism Show in DC

Had a great time at the meet and greet at the Modernism Expo in DC sponsored by the Art Deco Society of Washington DC. Met dealers like this man "Deco Doug" from Michigan who wanted to buy my book to identify Vassos-designed radios and other items. This was my first time meeting with and seeing the real value of the book for antiques dealers. Also I met radio collectors and art deco fans. I spent time with members of the Art Deco Society of DC also and got to hear a record playing on a John Vassos designed RCA Victor Special, lovingly restored by antiques dealer and Art Deco Society of DC President Emeritus Jim Linz. He cranked up the portable gorgeous, gleaming phonograph and soon we hear Josephine Bakers singing in 1930s glory. The sound was amazing and the machine beautiful, especially the mirror image of the radio spinning on the upper area of the phonograph with files for record storage. A special day indeed. Didn't get to buy anything though I saw some great stuff - art deco tray with yellow cubist imagery  and bakelite handles, I am thinking of you!
