Collectibles:Tobacciana
This item will be removed from inventory at the end of November if not sold. Offers Welcomed - Motivated Sellers! The elephant figure on this unsigned piece shows what many designers call "good lines" - a sweeping curve from his crown to his button tail, smooth contours all around, and a deceptively simple aesthetic feel. He stands 4" tall, and his base is 8" long by 5 1/4" at its widest. This piece is constructed of heavy cast metal with a brown finish originally meant to simulate bronze. The ...

$110 USDHistorical World War II (WWII) Trench Art Ashtray US Navy Dated
Collectibles:Militaria
This item will be removed from inventory at the end of November if not sold. Nice examples of World War II trench art are becoming increasingly scarce, especially those whose origins may be accurately traced to a specific date and locale; this piece offers both. It is inscribed "USS Gallup, March 2 1944." The U.S.S. Gallup was commissioned just two days earlier, on Leap Day, 1944.

$30 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Vintage Beaded Drawstring Purse with Tassel
Collectibles:Purse
Every so often I list a purse that is in need of TLC with the hope that someone can either fix it or enjoy it as is. I try to price them for condition and offers are always welcomed. This sweet drawstring purse caught my eye because of the simplicity and innocence of the beadwork. Almost surely handmade, the exterior of the bag is a black cloth while the gray interior of the header appears to have a shiny finish to it, and the liner of the lower part of the bag is brown. A very simple beaded ...

Collectibles
This item will be removed from inventory at the end of November if not sold. Offers Welcomed - Motivated Sellers! Measuring 7.75" in diameter, this beautifully rendered floral spray is also signed by the artisan. The signature is a tad difficult to make out; it appears to be "P Rossiy" or "P Rossi" with a line coming down from the "i". The colors are stunning, the scene elegant. There is one small spot on two of the white "dots" where a teeny portion of the white "dot" chipped off. Very minor ...
$55 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Sterling Silver Ink Blotter Roller
Collectibles
Dress up your vintage desk with this fine piece of sterling silver holloware. The ornate handle is marked "sterling" on each side, preceded by an unidentified symbol (see photos). The roller is wooden. Approximately 5 3/4" (14.5cm) in length, this piece is in great shape, with the only flaw being that the metal connecting the roller to the handle has oxidized with age (does not affect the great look of the item). There is some tarnish in the crevices of the handle. As many collectors prefer ...

We love this vintage pillow! This cute Scottish terrier was pieced together from motley pieces of cloth in a multitude of colors. He looks very much like a patchwork quilt.

$79 USD Offers ConsideredPyrography Flemish Art Plaque Picturing Three Puppies
Collectibles:Decorative Arts
What unusual and cute subject matter! We can't recall seeing pyrographic dogs before; they are certainly uncommon. We're not certain of breed; maybe Labrador retrievers? This oval plaque is composed of three layers of wood, and measures approximately 12" (30cm) by 7" (17.5cm). It is in very nice condition, with no chips, cracks, or breaks. On the back, it still retains most of the original paper label of its maker, "Knickerbocker Pyrographic Company, NY" (a preliminary search finds this company ...

$25 USD Offers ConsideredFeathered Chignon Half Hat Original Box Patriotic Colors!
Collectibles:Vintage
I love vintage feather anything…especially hats and hair pieces. Feathers tend to add a flair to any outfit or look, and the greatest thing about a chignon is that the "headband" piece is flexible and sits close to the head...so it isn't an obtrusive accent. This particular lovely features red, white and blue colored feathers and has a "Made in France" tag on the inside. The "headband" piece should fit just about anyone; it is in its original box and is in very good condition save for some ...

Wonderful cylinder shaped box signed on the side "Denmark" with a dolphin or fish next to the word. Both sides of the box feature a Danish scene with people gathered around a barrel (possibly ale?) with an instrument player (maybe a fiddle) with tools in the background and a dog at their feet. There are some bushes and trees in the background and the group is huddled outside a a barn like structure. I will admit, the purpose of the box stumps me.
