Mid-Century or Americana?

Thats what I asked when needing to decide on a category for listing in My shop. The answer, of course, is BOTH!
 The Shirley Temple Doll was manufactured by Ideal Novelty & Toy Company between 1958 - 1962.
She was one of the most popular dolls of her time. This doll (Ideal Doll / ST-12)  meaning, Shirley Temple- 12" tall, is worth quite a bit ($100.00 +) if she had all original clothing, including shoes and in "un-played with" condition.

Mid Century Treasure

I recently found this at an auction. I'm really enjoying living with this spectacular example of mid-century furniture. The Atomic style is something that reminds me of that old cartoon "The Jetsons" (one of my all - time favorites). The Atomic look was so short lived, but now sooooo much loved by many today!
I'm having a hard time deciding whether I should list this in my store or not; I think I'll take a little time on that for now! (How many times have you seen a THREE legged, Atomic, Blonde, Formica Shelf Table?
