$35 USDFabulous Vintage Mid Century Modern Pelican Thermos Red White Stars Stripes

Collectibles:Bottles:Thermos Bottle

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. ...

Vintage Glass Bowl with Mercury & Red Reverse Paint Exterior

$65 USDVintage Glass Bowl with Mercury & Red Reverse Paint Exterior

Glass
Mercury silvering or 'fire gilding' is said to be a technique for applying a thin layer of precious metal such as silver or gold (mercury gilding) to a base metal object; this however is a glass bowl (rather than a base metal), with a cut or molded bottom with a layer of the distinct super-shiny silver along some areas, and covered in it's entirety with a deep crimson translucent (its actually a deep pink when held up to daylight) paint. We are unsure of the exact technique to obtain this finish ...

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 ...

$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 ...
