🛳️ AUTHENTIC RMS QUEEN MARY CUNARD DECK CHAIR

$795 OBO

Here is a chance to own an actual piece of maritime history.

We have an original RMS Queen Mary wooden deck chair, complete with its folding/reclining design and extended footrest. This is not a reproduction.

The chair has been examined and authenticated by two historians as a genuine Queen Mary chair.

⚓ Original metal plaque: “The R.M.S. Queen Mary”
⚓ CUNARD marking still visible on the wood
⚓ Wooden slatted reclining design with folding footrest
⚓ Wonderful original aged condition and patina
⚓ One of the most recognizable ocean liners in history

The RMS Queen Mary entered service in 1936, carrying passengers across the Atlantic during the golden age of ocean travel. She later served as a troopship during World War II before returning to passenger service.

This chair shows its age, and we have intentionally left it in its original condition rather than refinishing or restoring it. Please look closely at the photographs for condition.

Historical photographs of the Queen Mary and comparable chairs are included for reference. The actual chair being sold is shown in our current photos.

ASKING $795 OR BEST OFFER

Serious offers welcome. This would make an incredible piece for a Queen Mary or Cunard collector, maritime collection, museum display, historic hotel, or anyone who appreciates genuine ocean-liner memorabilia.

📍 Located in Kimberling City, Missouri.

🚨 LAKE LOVERS… WE HAD TO SHARE THIS! 🚨

Mix & Save in Branson has some CRAZY prices on towables right now.

The deals honestly shocked us enough that we said, “People at the lake need to know about this.”

If you’re looking for tubes, towables, floating docks or other lake stuff, it may be worth making the trip to Branson.

🐯 Tiger Towable — $60
🍌 Banana Towable — $100
🏝️ Inflatable Dock — $150

And they had a lot more than just these.

This place is seriously impressive, and some of the prices are almost unheard of compared to what you normally see during lake season.

So before you spend big money on something used, check what brand new is selling for first.

If we find a great deal, even if it isn’t at our place, we’re gonna tell our lake people about it. 🌊🚤

Mix & Save Branson at Branson Meadows Mall

Might be worth the drive. 👀

🔥 THIS THING IS HUGE—and absolutely beautiful! 🔥

This detailed, laser-engraved wooden map of Table Rock Lake measures approximately 4 feet 4 inches wide by 3 feet 8 inches tall. The rich wood grain, deep-blue lake detail and rustic dark frame make it a true statement piece.

It would look incredible in a lake house, living room, office, lodge or vacation rental!

🌊 One available
📍 See it in person at The Lake Store in Kimberling City
💬 DM for pricing and to claim it!!

Pictures don’t do the size or detail justice—this one is a showstopper!

We trademarked Crisco to protect the work we’ve created and what we create going forward. We are not trying to stop other people from making Crisco items. We simply ask that people create their own work, don’t copy others and respect Crisco’s Legacy for generations to enjoy for years to come.

Another thing  we feel strongly about: if you publicly advertise that a percentage of your Crisco sales is being donated to an organization, then we believe there should be transparency about what was sold and what was donated, so nobody is wrongfully accused, and there is no confusion.

Unfortunately, we already feel some people may be taking advantage of the situation. If charitable donations are being used to promote sales, people have every right to ask questions. We did reach out to said organizations to see what their protocol was on Crisco donations so we could donate like others had said they were doing and were shocked to learn that those donations had not been made as promised Online. Only one donation have been made in store for $10…

Create. Be original. Be respectful. Be transparent.

We’ll be open today at 12:15!

We’re finishing up a few items for our lovely customers before we open. It’s been a crazy week, but the amount of support we’ve received has been truly overwhelming, and we appreciate it more than you know.

At the end of the day, the people who know us, know who we are, and that’s what makes us proud.

One of our customers said it perfectly:
“The good news is, you must be doing something right if people want to copy and duplicate what you’re doing. The bad news is, sometimes people buy into the song and dance.”

We’re not going to let the noise change who we are or what we do. We’re going to keep creating, keep working, keep smiling, and keep taking care of the people who have supported us.

Thank you to everyone who has stopped in, reached out, defended us, encouraged us, or simply continued to shop small. ❤️

See you at 12:15!
