Vintage Home Dec - A Black Cat Doorstop
Continuing yesterday's theme, I give you a black cat doorstop, from the January 1940 issue of Popular Mechanics. Convenient, too - it can be "reached without stooping."

Quote Of The Day
I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time - when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing he public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. ~ Carl Sagan

From an online copy of a vintage Popular Mechanics, but when I went back there to copy the link, it had disappeared into the ether. Still, if you own a soldering iron, these little chairs and tables should be right up your alley.

Service tech: Good, 'cause I was gonna say, there's one helluva big fat rat down in your basement.
