This vintage necktie gift box has an ivory base with a really neat abstract geometric print of red, green, metallic silver, ivory and royal blue poinsettias, candles, evergreen sprigs & holly! Little dots of silver look like snow or stars. The color combination of red, white & BLUE with green and silver dates this to the late 40s, or possibly into the early 50s.

Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Winter
What a wonderful vintage tray: a small 12" x 7.5" metal tray with clear plastic arched handles (with molded ridges in their centers). It has the most delightful early 1900s winter scene of a huge wood sled loaded with a family of 5 being pulled by a pair of horses approaching a snow covered farm with big red barn, windmill and cozy farmhouse! This is titled "Company for Supper" by Dale Nichols, and has served an appetizer or two in its time. There is overall surface scratching, but the colors ...
Vintage Red Rose on Ivory Canister with Red Lid by Empeco

$25 USDVintage Red Rose on Ivory Canister with Red Lid by Empeco

Collectibles:Kitchenware:Canister
Here's a fabulous vintage Empeco National Can Company of New York kitchen canister estimated to be from the 1940s. It is an ivory painted metal canister with red lid. There is a transfer red rose with buds and green leaves on one side. This neat container has had better days: it has some stains, some chippy worn paint and a bit of rust here and there; some call this shabby chic style, it reminds me of a set my Grandma had out at the farm when we were little kids, so we just call like to say it ...

These vanity mirrors are getting harder to find now...We are listing two here today...this one with abstracted flower etchings, and the other one (Item # VM-002) with pineapple look etchings. These are really pretty leaned up against a wall with candles, flowers & baubles arranged in front of it...the mirror reflects the candlelight and increases the display area. It's also nice as a hat or jewelry mirror...the etchings on the ends add a nice vintage touch to an otherwise pedestrian activity ...
Vintage 1960s-1970s Modern Style Wood Wall Clock by Elgin

$95 USDVintage 1960s-1970s Modern Style Wood Wall Clock by Elgin

Collectibles:Clocks, Timepieces
Fabulous late mid-century modern clock by Elgin of wood with black accents, and brass-toned face. This is a dramatic shape, measuring approximately 21" high by 21" across. It is battery operated, and runs perfectly when hung up (this has an attached hook at the back for securely hanging). The minute and hour hands click securely in place; they may shift in transit, if so, simply gently pull the one out toward the end, and gently push the other toward the clock; they'll stay in place perfectly. ...

Collectibles:Clocks, Timepieces
Classic mid-century design by the superb quality clock maker Verichron; this one in wood with brass tone metal trim. Fabulously dramatic sun burst or star burst design; typical atomic age design. This is huge, measuring about 24" by 24" and is about 2" deep including the depth of the minute and hour hands. We have sold many clocks of the era similar to this, and we will be sure to pack this carefully for safe transit, but understand that shipping expense is higher because of the fragility of the ...

Vintage Hammond's Two In One Maps of the World And United States

$55 USDVintage Hammond's Two In One Maps of the World And United States

Collectibles:Paper:Map
Here's a neat 2-sided folded map printed in the USA, copyrighted by C. S. Hammond & Co, New York. We can find no dates on this, however, Germany is Germany (not east and west) so this is from pre-1945. Great color on both sides. Measures 29" x 42"; we think this would be really neat framed, but deciding which side?!!? There are 4 small splits that are visible when held up to the light. No stains.

Vintage Crosley Chocolate Brown Tube Radio Model 68TA

$41 USDVintage Crosley Chocolate Brown Tube Radio Model 68TA

Collectibles:Radios
This neat old tube radio was made in Cinncinnati, Ohio in 1948. It does not work, and we have no knowledge of electronics or appliances. We are selling it as found since we were told there are radio restorers out there that are looking for parts. We have taken shots of the interior; we have not wiggled or shifted anything in it, so it may be a very simple "fix"; we simply do not know. The radio museum website says that there were none made of bakelite or catelin, it is listed as modern plastics. ...

$95 USDArt Deco Reverse Painted Mirrored Glass Picture Frame 7" x 9"

Vintage German Heavy Cast Iron Hand Crank Pasta Cutter Grinder Gesetzlich Geschatzt

$25 USDVintage German Heavy Cast Iron Hand Crank Pasta Cutter Grinder Gesetzlich Geschatzt

Collectibles:Kitchenware
We've been told that "gesetzlich geschatzt" basicly means registered, or trade-marked, or patented, so the workings for this decorative wood-handled-hand-crank piece of kitchen equipment were trademarked, at least at one time. This has a thumb-screw clamp on the bottom to secure it to a counter or table; the fancy part says "MODEL" on it. This is very heavy cast iron (it weighs 2 pounds, 5 ounces without packaging) so is very sturdy. It is about 16 cm (a bit over 6") from the top of the top ...

Vintage Novena Candle Cozy Winter Farm Scene

$30 USDVintage Novena Candle Cozy Winter Farm Scene

Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Winter
This old candle has a wonderful winter farm scene on it, in the style of a Currier & Ives print, although it is unmarked. There is a golden toned three story farm house, with chimneys at both ends (indicating a Federal style design). There is a sleigh (showing the backside of the horse in front of it) pulled up in front of the house, and has a couple of people on the side, speaking. There is another visitor walking up as well. There are a couple of other out buildings, also in that same golden ...
Vintage Framed Print of a Victorian Lady At The Skating Pond

$45 USDVintage Framed Print of a Victorian Lady At The Skating Pond

Collectibles:Paintings, Prints
This sweet print is of a pretty lady dressed in late 1800's wear, done in an Impressionist style (mid 19th century to early 20th). Although the subject matter and style are from that era, we believe this print was actually produced in the late 1950s to early 1960s and inspired by fashions and artistic stylings of an earlier time. The frame of this measures 10 and 5/8" across by 13 and 5/8" high. The image area is 8 and 5/8" by 11 and 5/8". The image is a lady dressed in rich deep maroon velvet ...

$85 USDVintage Applique Quilt Top Bed Cover of Red, Green, Yellow & Black

Collectibles:Textiles:Linens:Bedding
Here is a great color combination on this quilt top that has been all hand appliqued. Great contrast of white & black, primarys of red & yellow, with kelly green, and a rich purple for accents (some shots look teal, its not, its green-green). This measures 76" by 92" and is shown on a standard size bed. This is a quilt top only, so it has no backing, no fill, and the edges are un-hemmed. Depending on how you'd like to finish the edges and backing, it could be used for a queen or even king size ...

$25 USDVintage Transferware Alaska Souvenir Cup & Saucer Polar Bear, Elk, Moose, Walrus, Mt McKinley

Collectibles:Cup & Saucer Set
We LOVE the look of the natural tones of this deep brown transfer print on this delightful Alaska souvenir cup and saucer set. Acquired from a woman who had purchased it on her honeymoon in the 1970s, we're pleased to say there are no cracks or chips to be found on this: she said she had it displayed in her hutch all these years. It does have overall crazing (please see close-up photos). The saucer is 5 and 7/8" across, the cup's rim is 3 and 5/8", and it stands 2.5" high. This is a combination ...

Vintage Chalkware "Our Marshall" Cowboy Figurine

$9 USDVintage Chalkware "Our Marshall" Cowboy Figurine

Collectibles:Western
Standing 11" tall, about 4.5" across, and 3.5" deep. The Marshall's colors are vibrant and deep, and there are no chips on him. His paint on his mustache is a bit scratched off, please see photos. Neat old cowboy, he's hollow, so he doesn't weigh as much as many chalkware pieces; that leads us to believe this is possibly from the 50's or 60's, when carnivals and fairs popped up around the country in the summer time. We've never found a cowboy like this before; with his pot belly, 6 shooter and ...
Vintage 1965 Glamour House Plastic Face Curler Storage Tote Bag Purse

$53 USDVintage 1965 Glamour House Plastic Face Curler Storage Tote Bag Purse

Collectibles:Vanity Items
Standing all of 12" high and measuring 6.5" across is this kitschy cool plastic tote bag by Glamour House; the copyright date of 1965 is along one of the blond hair streaks in the back of the bag. In the 60s girls wore their hair up in bouffant and rat teased styles. By putting curlers in their hair, it helped to add volume and curl for the much need "pouf" of the day! However, the curlers themselves weren't much to look at, so Glamour House designed this clever tote to hide away those essential ...

The design elements suggest this is from the 1950s or possibly early 60s. We recommend using this for visual impact as there is rusting along the bottom rim as well as a few rusted spots here and there on the ...

$55 USDVintage 1960s Autumn Flower Print Tablecloth Textile

Collectibles:Textiles
This print speaks for itself in warm fall tones of oranges, yellows, golds, reds and browns. Huge floral and leaf print in the mode of Vera or Marimekko, but not a signature to be found. Printed on a bark cloth type of cotton (not true bark cloth, but textured similarly) and hemmed on two sides with selvage on the other two. This measures 35" x 32". We think it would be impressive framed and hung (on the diagonal!); it has a warm kitchen or coffee house feel to it! We could find no spots, stains ...
