Description

Barry Jetter, the self-proclaimed "Chrome King," spends his days in the back of his store, General Nitemare, attended by a winsome miniature Doberman pinscher named Tiny, scraping, stripping, and sandblasting school paint off metal furniture that he salvages from Maryland. I can't imagine what Jetter's and his doggie's lungs look like, but their merchandise is fantastic, cheap, and available in the wee hours as you stumble home from Alma's rooftop lounge just across the street.

  • 2001 | Best '30s, '40s, and '50s Collectibles

    "Send lawyers, guns, and money, the shit has hit the fan!" reads Barry Jetter's business card above the appellation "Chrome King." Owned and operated by a self-described former member of corporate America, GENERAL NITEMARE's amazing, quality collection may look junky from the outside, but ask for just about anything, and the remarkable Jetter will fish it out of the crowded pile and personally refinish it for you. Among other items, I bought an affordable Heywood-Wakefield '40s vanity with a... More »
