$28 USD SaleSALE Vintage Homer Laughlin Jubilee Sugar & Creamer Set; NM
Pottery:By Maker:Homer Laughlin:Jubilee
SALE! 15% Off! Homer Laughlin's "Jubilee" line was designed by Don Schreckengost and introduced in 1948 to celebrate the company's 75th anniversary. This set is in two of the original colors; the creamer in shell pink, the covered sugar bowl in celadon green. (I love the art-deco look of the finial on the lid!) The two colors complement one another wonderfully and will lend a very retro look to your kitchen or dining room. These are solid enough for everyday use, great for entertaining, or just ...

$45 USDVintage Saks Fifth Avenue Gloss Leather Handbag / Purse, Tortoise Lucite Handle & Clasp
Clothing:Women's:Purses & Bags:50s/60s:Leather
We love this little bag from Saks! Ca. 50s/early 60s, it's made of a high-gloss leather in slightly variegated brown (dark brown with some lighter brown marbling--see flap photo for detail). Fabulous lucite handle and clasp in flameglow red translucent tortoise-shell effect. Light-brown faille interior with three main compartments. Center compartment has open slip pocket on one side, zippered pocket on the other with an open pocket behind. Bottom has 4 protective feet. This cutie is perfect for ...

Unfolded, measures about 9¼” high x 9½” long; folded, about 5¼” high. Very good to excellent condition.

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Rhinestones:Holiday:Christmas
Here's a beautiful Christmas-tree brooch with a design and quality a notch above many you see. Features multi-colored pave'-set chaton rhinestones of 2 to 3 mm over the entire surface.

$29 USDSilk Beaded & Sequined Envelope Clutch Purse by Simon; Hong Kong
Clothing:Womens:Accessories:Purses, Bags:50s/60s:Fancy:Beaded:Hong Kong:Simon
This is an exquisite fancy-beaded and sequined clutch, ca. 1960s, made in British Hong Kong, designed by Ernest Blum for Simon (a well-known maker of this type of bag). Perfect for a wedding ensemble or formal party. White silk layered in pastel aurora borealis sequins overall, embellished with pearl beading on the front. All the sequins have pearl-bead centers. Bottom edge and front flap are scalloped, and flap has beaded edging. Much hand stitching on this; it's likely all hand made. Silk ...
$28 USDVintage Japan Hand Made Beaded Mini Clutch Bag / Purse; "Debbie"
Clothing:Women's:Accessories:Handbags & Purses:Clutch Bags:Formal
The sweetest little beaded clutch ever! Hand made in Japan by Debbie (without the John Wind Imports brand), a bit hard to date due to its classic styling. But we think it's from the 50s, as that's when most of these date to. Great wedding, Christmas or New Year's Eve party, or prom bag. Off-white fabric (likely silk) base encrusted in creamy faux pearl beads, accented by a retro design in dark grey bugle beads. Metal zip at top of bag with a beaded fabric pull. Satin interior.

$54 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Vintage 60s Men's Bollman Summit Stingy Snap-Brim Trilby or Fedora Hat
Clothing:Mens:Fedora, Trilby:1960s:Bollman
We have a small collection of men's hats coming up, this is probably our best. We believe this to be very rare, as we can't find another like it anywhere. This hat was made by the Bollman Hat Company for Summit Hats (famous for its cowboy hats). I've confirmed this directly with Bollman Hats, as I couldn't find another hat like this in my research. Apparently they are hard to come by, since it took Bollman some time to unearth the information (many thanks to their representative who helped me!). ...
$68 USD SaleSALE Vintage 50's Abstract Print Day or Party Dress & Bolero Jacket; Sz. Med (8/10)
Clothing:Womens:50s:Dresses:Dress & Jacket Outfits
Another "summer in September" offering! Our summer flew by so quickly we didn't have time to list a number of summer dresses we'd shot. So, because it's always summer somewhere (we love our southern hemisphere customers), and because true vintage fans are always looking for great things, we're going to list them while we are prepping some terrific fall and winter items for you! This 1950's dress, likely NOS, with bolero jacket is the quintessential go-everywhere outfit--work, luncheons, church, ...
$33 USDVintage 50s/60s Garay Brown Faille Convertible Clutch Purse / Bag
Clothing:Womens:Accessories:Purses, Bags:50s/60s:Famous Maker:Garay
Sweet 50's or 60's clutch bag by Garay with rigid fold-down handle to convert to handbag. Fashioned in what I'm sure is a silk or silk-blend faille, due to its more luxurious hand than rayon and the beautiful luster you see with silk. Color is a deep rich brown--very elegant. Fabric falls from the frame in draped gathers. Features goldtone clasp and gold-ish satin lining with good-sized slip pocket. About 13" long x 6 1/4" high, large enough to carry all you need for cocktails or that holiday ...
$32 USDVintage 40's/50's L & M Brown Wool Handbag Purse--Perfect for Fall & Winter!
Clothing:Womens:Purses, Bags:1940s/1950s:Fabric
Pretty brown wool bag by L & M, circa late 40s/early 50s, can be carried daily to work, or for a dressier fall or winter occasion (fabulous with a tan or camel winter coat!). A kind of elongated pouchette, with a stiffened oval base from which the gathers form loose pleating up the soft sides.Very soft woool with a light, brushed nap. Bag has goldtone frame and clasp, hand strap with circular, non-fixed rings. Rich brown satin Interior has one good-sized pleated slip pocket and smaller zippered ...
$35 USDVintage 60's Luxurious Asymmetrical Off White Fur Felt Hat w/ Bow
Clothing:Women's:Hats:1960s
Here is a wonderful 1960s tall-crowned hat. Made of extra-soft, smooth "Superbe" fur felt imported from Italy. Exquisite hand to this felt! The color is a bit deeper than winter white--I would call it an ivory or creme' fraische. Very chic asymmetrical styling--bow to the side rather than the expected back placement. While an elegant hat, this quirk makes it perfect for the gal who loves the classics, but wants to stand out a bit. The wide (2 1/4") candlelight grosgrain ribbon tucks down to the ...
$54 USDVintage 60's Gwenn Pennington Plush Bubble Hat / Beret; Great Size!
Clothing:Women's:Hats:1960s:Designer:Gwenn Pennington
Gwenn Pennington's work is delightful and of great quality, but is, IMHO, currently undervalued and underappreciated. That's why her pieces are real bargains in today's market--if made by one of the more "famous" designers, they would be double the price. This particular design is a quintessential 1960's "bubble" style hat or beret. Exquisitely plush, of long-napped Martelle fur felt imported from West Germany. The color is a a little darker than winter white, more of an ivory, and goes well ...
$10 USDVintage Sarah Coventry Leaf Brooch / Pin w/Faux Pearl
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Sarah Coventry
A beautiful, finely detailed Sarah Coventry leaf pin/brooch, this features a creamy white prong-set faux pearl and bright goldtone finish. The veining in this is realistic and dimensional, not just lightly etched on. No wonder Sarah Coventry's leaf-design jewelry was so popular; it's wonderful! This petite, but not tiny, one measures approx. 1 3/4" long and about 1 3/8" wide at widest point. In excellent to near-mint condition; the finish on the front appears flawless, and the pearl has great ...
$22 USDVintage Corocraft Goldtone Brooch w/Faux Onyx & Pearl
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Pins/Brooches:Corocraft, Coro Craft
FREE SHIPPING! This ca. 1960's Corocraft (one of the high-end Coro brands) brooch was found at an estate auction recently. Seemingly simple goldtone brooch is intricately constructed. One "loop" is of square-cut metal, while the other is fashioned as a rigid linked chain. Its leaf features smooth and textured finishes. On wire stems are an oval faux onyx and a creamy pearl, which is probably faux. Looks genuine, but it would be unlikely to find a real pearl on costume jewelry other than sterling ...
$65 USDVintage Schiaparelli Large Faceted Glass Earrings; Ornate Setting
Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Designer:Schiaparelli:Earrings
From the estate of a woman who had fine taste in jewelry comes this exquisite pair of clip earrings from Elsa Schiaparelli. Ca. mid to late 50s, this style is one of her iconic looks from that era--the large faceted-glass colored stone. The large stones measure about 20 x 15 mm (in setting), and are of outstanding clarity and rich color. Unlike many similar styles by Schiaparelli, these are not foil backed, but are in an open-back setting, resulting in lovely play of light and fine translucency. ...
$225 USD SaleSALE Vintage 50’s Strapless PINK Tulle, Lace & Taffeta Full-Skirt Wedding or Party Dress w/ Bolero; Sm, XS

FREE domestic shipping; discounted international shipping. AND end-of-summer sale on this gorgeous dress! Stunning 1950's dress would be fabulous for a wedding, especially with its matching lace bolero worn for the ceremony, tossed off for the reception. Fashioned of pink lace and tulle over pink taffeta, it epitomizes the mid-50’s glamour look, yet is always in style. Strapless floral-lace bodice features a double topline with ruffled layer of tulle in the middle, boning for support, fitted ...
$23 USDVintage 50/s/60s "Play Topper" Pillbox Turban Hat
Clothing:Womens:Hats:1950s/1960s
Unusual, interesting, and chic navy blue hat, ca. late 50s to mid 60s, features a turban-style look in a modified pillbox shape. Fashioned of wide strips of "crinkled" cello-type material that wrap up to the crown, like a turban. Material is thicker & stiffer than cello, and resembles, IMHO, paper mache'. Has upswept sides to back, large back bow, structured net base with velvet-trimmed edge, chin strap for security (but this should stay put without). Size: Unmarked; measures about 21 1/2" ...
$42 USDVintage 60's Designer Plush Velvet Sculptured Beehive Toque Hat
Clothing:Womens:Hats:Designer:Norman Paulvin:1960s
I'm having a hard time parting with this chic Norman Paulvin "beehive" hat--it looks so adorable on! Made of plush velvet wrapped and draped on a structured net base, and set off with a soft back bow, this 60's hat is perfectly wearable today. Vintage but not "dated"! The color is a fabulous shade of blue--"electric," but slightly deeper and richer than the photos show. It's sure to wow your friends! The velvet is luxurious and very soft; probably rayon or rayon-blend, as it's much softer than ...
$40 USDVintage 1940's Art Deco Loran-Sim Gold Filled Earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:1940s Art Deco:Gold, Gold Filled:Signed:Loran-sim
We think this exquisite pair of earrings is the nicest we have listed right now, bar none! Ca. 1940s, by Loran-Sim, their screw-back setting is 1/20 12 kt gold filled, and there is a lot of gold. The bright, clear London-blue topaz faceted glass stones are gorgeous and large, about 14 x 10 mm. At the bottom of the circular setting are 2 clear rhinestones--a small round and a square, which is set in a diamond-oriented back. The screw backs are substantial, with an easy-to-grip and turn head. ...
$54 USDVintage 50's Weiss Amber & Topaz Rhinestone Earrings

There are 21 stones in each, in two shades (amber and root-beer topaz), prong set into a pear-shaped goldtone setting with scalloped and textured edges. The rhinestones are nice solitaire size, about 4 mm each. Earrings measure approx. 1" high x 15/16" overall, and have clip backs. Excellent condition, with wear only on the backs.Stones are all bright and clear. Note: Shipping insurance optional. if you don't take it, we're ...
$39 USDVintage 40's Ingber Faille Purse Hand Bag, Pouchette Style
Clothing:Womens:Purses, Bags:1940s, 40s
An adorable 1940's Ingber bag in what I believe to be silk faille due to its luster and soft hand, rather than rayon faille. Ingber was a well-known name in bags, and collectors today appreciate the quality of its bags. This one is a lovely, rich grey-green color--presents differently in different lighting--to go with a multitude of colors. Fixed-ring design with fabric-covered frame, goldtone clasp, wide strap, oval stiffened bottom with pleating all around, and taffeta lining. At about 7 1/2" ...
$25 USDVintage 60's Purple-Violet Fur Felt Bubble Beret Hat

Features two stitched tucks in front, and a semi-structured tuck or pleat toward the back, with bow-like trim. Very chic & sophisticated, in a popular size. This was made for the B. Forman Company, Rochester, N.Y., a venerable upscale department store, now sadly defunct. Color is a purple-violet, a bit more reddish than ...

This perfect "little black bag" is the perfect complement to your LBD--or your "go-to" dress of any color.

$85 USD Offers ConsideredVintage 30s/40s Feathered Burgundy Fur Felt Hat / Cap
Clothing:Womens:Hats:1930s/1940s
Here's another from our large inventory of hats, and it's one of our favorites. A late 30s/early 40s feathered, brimmed hat in rich burgundy fur felt. This asymmetrical, structured cap style with offset brim is trimmed with a plethora of feathers across the front and around one side. The multi-colored typical bird feathers give way to a cascade of incredibly soft, wine-colored feathers, the softest I've ever felt. Hat is upswept above the brim, and crown is shaped to the head behind that. A ...
