$15 USDVintage Christmas Country Horse & Sleigh Farm Scene Cookie Tin
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Winter
Here's a great sized cookie tin, perfect for toting home-made goodies to your neighbors or to send Divinity and Peanut Butter Fudge to your nephew in college! This measures a little over 8" across and is a fabulous 3" deep! (that's a whole extra layer of Chocolate Crinkles than most tins!) It has a high gloss holly red base, and the lid is a delightful scene of a family of four riding in their horse-drawn sleigh up to a cozy farm! Mom is out waving hello amidst piles of snow; the barn, out ...
$15 USDVintage 1940s Abstract Modern Poinsettias Christmas Holiday Gift Neck Tie Box
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas
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. There are a couple of little spots on the bottom side, but the inside is clean clean clean. Add some festive retro nostalgia for your ...
$15 USDVintage "Company for Supper" Winter Snow Farm Scene Metal Tray signed Dale Nichols
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 ...
$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 ...
$55 USDVintage Deco Etched Vanity Mirror Tray with Beveled Edges
Collectibles:Vanity Items:Mirror Tray
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 ...
$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. ...
$115 USDVintage Mid-Century Modern Verichron Wall Clock Sunburst Starburst
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 ...

Collectibles:Luggage
Travel in style, or just use this as a super cool purse: fabulous faux reptile print vintage cosmetic luggage case with RED interior and perfect set-in lid mirror. Measures 11.25" across, 6.5" deep and 7" high. The lid is attached with double hinges on the back, and securely latches closed (slide the tab on the right, snap the flipper in place: slide the tab again: it pops back open). The key is not here. This has an ivory molded plastic handle; it is not bakelite. This sounds like a wood base ...
$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.
$55 USDVintage 1950s Atomic Age Mid Century Modern Record Box Carrying Case Black & White
Collectibles:Music:Record Box
This cool record case sports a fabulous faux-leather-textured ivory with matte gold atomic era print bottom and a faux-reptile-skin lid in black with matte gold rubbed into the textured surface for a subtle Midas-touch look.

This measures 8" across by 8" high and is 5" deep. It was designed as a 45 RPM record carrying case, and is made ...
$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. ...
$125 USDAntique Set of 6 Victorian Graduated Brass Sleigh Horse Jingle Bells
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Winter
There's nothing quite like the ring of antique sleigh bells jingling at the holidays! We have this wonderful set of 6 graduated antique brass sleigh bells from the 1800's: the largest is about 2" across, there are 2 that are about 1.75" across, two more are about 1.5" across, and the sweetest little bell is not quite an inch and a quarter! These have the arched indented design surrounding the "mouth" of the bell (double holes, with a slash in between), and each has that fabulous squared shaped ...
$95 USDArt Deco Reverse Painted Mirrored Glass Picture Frame 7" x 9"
Collectibles:Art Deco
These fabulous reversed paint picture frames were popular in the 20's, and escalated wildly throughout the 30's and into the 40's. This one has geometric accent lines in the upper left and lower corners indicating late 30's early 40's. This one measures 10" x 12", with the image area being 7" x 9". This has black background with plain white and mirrored silver accents and trim giving it a VERY glamourous Hollywood style appeal! Group similar frames of this sort together to create a visual impact ...
$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 ...

This is beautifully constructed and definitely inspired by the Scandinavians with the smooth lines and ...
$59 USDVintage 60's Green Plastic Stacking Chairs by Shamrock Neatway Set of Four
Collectibles:Furniture:Chair
Here we have this neat set of four stacking chairs of molded textured plastic by Shamrock Neatway of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Shamrock Neatway made a variety of plastic merchandise, the majority of which are small household wares, cups, picnic ware and that sort of thing. These are the first chairs that we've found with their stamp on them (see photo). Each comfortable chair measures 29" high to the top of the back of the seat, 19" to the top of the seat itself. They are 23" wide, and 21" from ...
$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 ...
$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 ...

This set includes 4 octagonal (eight-sided) ornaments as well as 2 pine-cone-textured bell shaped ornaments. The octagonal ones have four sections each running in an up and down stripe ...
$35 USDVintage Mid Century Modern Swank Ivory & Black Drizzle Ceramic Triple Leaf Serving Dish
Collectibles:Kitchenware
Here's a terrific leaf shaped ceramic serving dish from the fabulous late 50s/early 60s in a creamy white with black Vegas style drizzle! Has a sturdy metal ring for easy toting (say, pass those cashews over here!); great for appetizers, snacks or a WAY cool garnish dish for your cocktails! This measures 10.5" from leaf tip to leaf tip to leaf tip; there is cool detail of raised veins in each of the leaf bowls. It has three tiny little feet (about 1/4" tall) under each of the leaves, and has ...
$119 USDVintage Blue & White Swirl Enamelware Graniteware Kettle Coffee Pot

This blue and white swirl kettle dates back to the early 1900's. It has a filtered spout, attached pouring handle and wire hanging handle with wood. It can hold a total of 10 quarts, 8 up to the bottom of the spout. It is 10.5" to the top of the spout, the lid is an additional 2.5" high. The bottom measures 10.5" across. There is a bit of rust along the inside seam at the bottom, we've scrubbed it, though and when we filled it to determine its capacity, we left it in for a while, and watched; ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$235 USDAuthentic McCoy Mammy Cookie Jar Cold Paint Black Americana
Collectibles:Cookie Jars
McCoy only made two Mammy jars: Mammy with Cauliflowers was made in 1939, but has been widely reproduced. An authentic jar can sell for as high as $1000. Mammy #2 originally had the words "Dem Cookies show am good" on the front of the dress on the jars made from 1944 through 1947. The words were changed in 1948 to "Cookies". These jars were made through 1957 in the colors of solid aqua, solid yellow and white with decorative cold paint. This jar, then, is from the 1948 to 1957 era. It is 11" ...
$35 USDFabulous Vintage Mid Century Modern Pelican Thermos Red White Stars Stripes
Collectibles:Bottles:Thermos Bottle
Here's a very cool fiberglass insulated thermos by Pelican of Poloron, New Rochelle, New York, USA. It has a red and white striped bottom with white dotted stars decorating the silver-toned (aluminum) top. It has a molded plastic topper with red flip top closure and red plastic handle. 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 ...

$20 USDVintage 50s Salem Maple Leaf Platter Ivory China with Autumn Leaves
Collectibles:Kitchenware
This neat serving plate is a creamy ivory white with green and brown transfer maple leaves drifting down one side. It is marked Salem, estimated to be from the 1950s (could be earlier).
