Worst or best "Kitsch"

Post by JellybeanCorncob »

I got this as a birthday present from a friend who found it in her fathers basement after he passed. It's battery powered and never been used. And it never will. You push a button in the back and he pees alcohol in your glass. It's plastic and was made in Hong Kong. 50s Early 60s? This is the best piece of booze related kitsch I've ever got. It's God awful.

She also gave me this.

It could be 80 years old. I don't know. But it's cool. It's a balling hydrometer. This is what it says on the box:

10 years ago, I swam in Kitsch.
Today I live with my choices.

I can't believe the hydrometer missed a chance to roll off and break. :shock:

I'm real careful and I've already broken one. Going to take great care when showing this one.

I have a neighbor who likes my hooch and sometimes finds little kitschy things that are alcohol related. I really like this cork stopper she found when She was visiting the Hamptons in NY. This little feller has a lever in his back and it tips his hat.
