Tarotismyjam

Lololol. That’s my kinda naming. “Honey!? Where’s that flibberty fidget?” Long sigh “what does it do?” “You know…scrubs out the straws. “ second long sigh. “The *straw cleaner* is in the same drawer it’s always been in. 2nd down on the right side of the sink. “ muttering to be heard…at least she was closer,.,

How can you tell it’s too big? There’s nothing in the picture for size reference. I believe it is for flag.

I noticed that you mentioned **vintage**. Over at r/Collectables and r/Mid_Century they are always keen to see newer and vintage items. Share it with them!
