I think you don't deserve to get $2350 for a desk if you don't know how to spell "sleek" properly.

My mom took me to Ringling Bros. when I was about 5 (we usually went to the Shrine Circus), and I kept the poster of Gunther and his tigers on my wall for years.
What a blast from the past!

I remember having a plastic cup (originally held sno-cone-like ice) from the circus with a relief of Gunther on the side when I was young.

I think Gunther already *has* a "cup". Lordy!
NOW I know why I liked the circus so much.

I don't know which is more annoying; using the phrase "Eames era" to describe something that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with anything even remotely Eames-y in nature, or using the prase "Eames era" to describe something actually designed by Charles Eames.
Also, I totally forgot that Gunther Gebel-Williams ever existed. Suddenly I am 10 years old again!

Yes, and I believe that poster is Gebel-Williams era.

I bet Charles and Rae Eames would be tickled pink to have an era named after them. Wouldn't you?
But I know what you mean.

Aaron- my mom was cleaning the attic and found my sno-cone cup with him on it from the circus. She called to ask if I still wanted it!

Oh my god, Gunther just made me laugh so hard! That is awesome.
Using "Eames Era" in an eBay title is against the rules. It's called keyword spamming and it's annoying as hell trying to find something that is actually an Eames piece. The only way to stop it is to report the losers who abuse it. Anna, I'm so with you!

That reminds me -- now I'm seeing a Google ad at the bottom right for Herman Miller Eames.

I have a question. What does "vintage" mean? I thought generally "antique" meant 100 years old and "vintage" meant 50 years old, in which case this GGW poster doesn't qualify. Or does "vintage" simply mean from a decade other than our own?
Are there standards for these terms within the communities that sell used and old items?
