This small wooden table measures 5" tall, 8" long and 5" wide. With leaf extended the width is 6 1/2". Intricately made with finely turned legs, beveled edges and other nice details. It is of a light wood, perhaps poplar, with a fine grain and smooth finish. After some deliberation we have decided to leave it in its 'as found' condition..minus a leaf and with some sad repairs; missing and mis-matched nails and one bent-over and impacted nail on the top surface. Also some broken and replaced ...
$300 USD SaleSALE Beautiful Floral Still Life Oil Painting on Canvas, Roses in a Blue Vase
Fine Art:Paintings
This romantic old still life of a blue vase with flowers is beautiful. It was obviously painted by a talented artist but is, surprisingly, unsigned. The roses are the stars of this; luscious full blooms in deep rich colors of creamy yellow and shades of reds ranging from light pink to deep burgundy. The other multicolored flowers and green foliage play second fiddle and artfully fade into the very dark background. The interesting wood frame is inset with a band of gilded florals and scrolls ...

Collectibles:Decorative Arts:Chinoiserie:Oriental:Chinese:China:Statue:Figurine
This large figure measures almost 14" tall, 9" across at the widest part and about 6" in diameter at the base. While we will not label it as porcelain, it is of a dense and fine clay and weighs a heavy 6 1/2 pounds. The style is referred to as 'singerie' ('monkey trick' in French); "Monkeys attired in clothing and mimicking humans in their activities". This motif has been used throughout history and was especially popular in the Rococo Era of the 18th century. As for the subject matter, we are ...

This Colonial Dining Room Set was manufactured by Hall's Lifetime Toys, Chattanooga, TN. who were renowned for making quality doll furniture during the mid 20th century. It was sold in finer department stores and came with a lifetime guarantee. This set illustrates the quality they strove for as it is still very sound and sturdy.

Porcelain:Men's Vanity:German:Bavaria
This old shaving mug is simply gorgeous. Made of fine translucent white porcelain with baby blue accents and a lovely floral design in shades of burnt orange, yellow, purple and green. This has been hand painted over a transfer in a method termed 'mixtion' and further embellished with applied white enameling or 'moriage' outlining the blossoms. There is a more demure pattern of yellow and purple flowers on the back. The pie crust rim and ornate handle are trimmed in gold. Some of this has worn ...
$25 USD SaleSALE Porcelain Shaving Mug with Hand Painted Forget-Me-Nots, 1876
Collectibles:Vanity Items
The gently flared sides defines this piece as a shaving mug and we wonder about (and admire) Victorian gentlemen for their apparent lack of machismo as this and many such pieces from the era are decidedly feminine. Measuring 3 1/2" tall and the same in diameter, it is ringed in pink and hand painted with delicate blue forget-me-nots. These have survived intact but the gold embellishments and sentiment have faded over the years. This is marked '76 on the bottom and we may assume that this dates ...
$30 USDTwo Matching 3 Drawer Chests for Small Dolls
Dolls:Doll Furniture:Desk Top:Jewelry Box
These adorable chests were imported from Japan in the mid 20th Century and were intended for use with the small 8" dolls that were so popular during that era. I have shown them with a 1954 "Ginny" to illustrate the scale. They measure 5 1/2" tall, 5" wide and 3 1/2" deep and are identical except for a slight variation in the paint colors. Solid wood construction with lapped joints and nice details. The tiny rolled metal handles are adorable. The vintage finish shows some crazing and light ...

The multi-colored flowers are a transfer print, the striping was hand painted after the last firing. The names are written in the center oval in, presumably, pencil (we will not experiment). This area has a matte finish which appears to be a ...
$235 USDLovely Nippon Breakfast Set Decorated with Shamrocks. Includes Condensed Milk Container

$200 USDAlmost Matching Pair of Tiffany Sterling Silver Individual Open Salt Cellars
Silver
Here are two open salts in sterling and made by Tiffany. The bottoms are stamped; "Tiffany & Co. 18403 Makers 5970, Sterling Silver 950-1000, M". Also hand etched 1/83, 1938 on one and 1943 on the other. Both are engraved "LHB" and until photographing I had assumed that these were a match. The difference in the year mark made me suspicious and further scrutinizing determined that there is a very slight difference in the band around the rim, one being a bit wider. There is also a fractional ...
$105 USD SaleSALE Roycroft Inkwell, Hammered Copper with Old Brass Finish
Antiques:Accessories:Desk:Accessories:Inkwell
This beautiful Arts and Crafts style inkwell was made by the Roycroft Copper Shop and the early "orb and cross" mark dates it from 1906 to 1910. Made of finely hammered copper and plated in brass, it measures just shy of 3" square on the base and hinged lid. The panels taper to 2 1/2" square at the top of the base. The sides of the clear glass well also taper and its 1 1/2" diameter shoulder rests on the internal platform. This has been polished in the past. There was much white residue in the ...

The body of the piece is made of solid oak while the mirror assembly is of a finer grained and softer wood; probably poplar.

$30 USDChild's Celluloid Scottie Dog Jewelry Set. Still in Package
Collectibles:Toys:Bracelet:Pin:Plastic:Girls
This adorable set of toy jewelry is in mint condition although the package has not fared as well; the cellophane has torn in front and back and the paper insert is torn and fragile. I have removed the bracelet for the photos but will leave the pin in place to avoid further damage. Made of molded celluloid and dating to the early part of mid-century; 1930's-1950's. The pin and bracelet feature the same molding of three gaily-painted doggies measuring about 1" square. The bracelet piece has been ...

The body and majority of parts are made of steel; the body from stamped and bent sheet, painted with a wood-grain finish. The wheel is cast pot metal. This was run by electric and the cord is included. I had a friend plug it in :-) and the motor hums but the spindle does not turn. That's all I know about that. In very nice condition with no paint chips. Some ...

$15 USD SaleSALE Retro Style Tin Trivet and Coaster Set

This little set is so cute and seemingly unused. The 7" round trivet and (8) 3 1/4" diameter coasters depict a courting couple done in the Pennsylvania Dutch style. The trivet has an insert of cardboard and the background color of this is lighter than the tin coasters. It is also slightly warped. No chipping to the coaster decals although the gold metal has oxidized slightly in places around the rim. These come in the original box which shows various uses for these. The pattern of the dishes on ...

Costumed in Vogue outfits from the "Frolicking Fables" series, all original and complete. These were found at a local estate sale and were said to have been purchased together when new and displayed side by side since then. Of course it is not possible to confirm or deny this but we doubt that these were originally sold as a pair due mainly to the ...

$95 USDAdorable Vogue Ginny Doll with Strawberry Blond Braids BKW from 1957
Dolls:By Brand Names:Vogue
Towards the end of the 50's, with the advent of Barbie and other fashion dolls, the popularity of "Ginny" was beginning to wane and in 1957 Vogue made several major changes in an effort to stimulate interest and also cut costs. Ginny was still referred to as a walker doll but had the additional feature of bending knees. The plastic formula was changed, perhaps to allow the knees to function but probably more as a cost savings. This new formula was more susceptible to damage from the elements and ...
$175 USDAll Original MLW 1955-56 Vogue Ginny Doll dressed in Ballerina Costume
Dolls:By Brand Names
This sweet little 8" hard plastic doll was made by Vogue Dolls and is often referred to as an "MLW" or molded-lash walker. This body style was made for two years, 1955 and 1956. Her saran wig was occasionally used on molded lash walkers and almost exclusively used starting in 1957 on the bent-knee walker dolls (BKW). The curls were set into the wig and they kept their style nicely but are virtually impossible to restyle as the saran is rather stiff and 'plastic-like'. This doll is a nice example ...
$300 USDAll Original Ginny Doll Bon-Bons #185 from 1955
Dolls:By Brand Names:Vogue
Vogue Doll Company's 8" hard plastic walker with sleep eyes and molded lashes, made in 1955-56, patent number on back. This doll is a beautiful example and her full brunette Dynel wig was easily coaxed into its original Ginny flip without a complete comb-out. I will let her new owner do this if desired. Some of the glued-down bangs have been released and form adorable curls on the top of her head. Her coloring is beautiful with no rubs or chips and her 'skin' has the lovely matte finish that ...

$40 USD SaleSALE Bryce Bros.Glass Elegant Era Water Goblets with Floral Etch

Price is for all. Slight imperfections and variations ...
$40 USDSterling Silver Baby Utensils, Spoon & Fork
Silver
Here's a cute set of feeding implements made for a baby by Wallace Sterling. The unidentified pattern is very ornate and the pieces are heavy for their size (43 gms) and about 4" long. Silver is so hard to photograph but I hope the pictures show the condition of the 'business end' of these pieces; both show some distortion and waviness and have fine scratching overall.
