$55 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Sterling Silver Ink Blotter Roller

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).

$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.

Jewelry:Vintage
For your consideration is this unusual little brooch with a wonderful hand carved dragon face. Measuring a little over 1.0" long and a little over 1/2" tall, this pin is fashioned from a beautiful color of wood - the reverse showing some natural variations. We believe it to be nut wood.

The artisan had to have been skilled because this is a ...

$40 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Signed Kramer of New York Purple Red Glass Fantasy Stone Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
The beautiful play of colors in this pin defy description but I will try! At first glance, the pear-shaped stones appear red, like the others, but the slightest movement and you see a sheen of purple, perhaps blue? This purple almost seems to glow from within. There are several different shapes of stones within the pin. The metal is a brass color. There is also a hook at the top so this could be worn on a chain. Condition: to wear, and to look at, the pin appears in great shape. ON close ...

$75 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Art Glass Aqua and Burnt Orange Bead Necklace - Amazing Beads
Jewelry:Vintage:Beaded
Where to begin? I am a major lover of vintage glass, so I was thrilled when I ran across this necklace. The artistry in each bead is evident in the swirls, twists and turns of the glass. Amazingly enough, I can find no chips on any of the beads!! To be honest, these beads are what I call "drool inducers." Just amazing- and, a nice, heavy weight also attesting to their quality. The color combination is just fabulous and perfectly in tune with current fashion. This necklace looks fantastic on - ...
$30 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Pair of Enamel Lingerie Pins - Victorian or Edwardian Era
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
These late 1800's or early 1900's lingerie pins are beautifully enameled with a floral theme. They fasten with a "C-Clasp". They are 1.0" long and a little more than .25" wide. There is one tiny spot near a flower on one pin that may be a slight enamel loss - see photo. There is some age-related patina on the reverse. The pin stem works but does hang down in the c-clasp; it doesn't stay right up there in the "C". Please email us with any further questions.
$30 USD Offers ConsideredVictorian or Edwardian Era Carved Mother of Pearl Belt or Sash Buckle
Jewelry:Vintage:Buckle
These wonderful buckles were popular in the late 1800's and early 1900's. This particular buckle is almost 2.0" wide and 3.0" tall. It has a metal tongue. This is the first mother of pearl buckle I have found that was carved in this manner - it gives the buckle a somewhat "hand hammered" effect and it very eye-catching. The carved "grooves" also allow for the shimmering colors to play when the buckle is moved. The metal tongue has some finish loss and age-related wear but is in perfect working ...

$30 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Patchwork Quilt Stuffed Scottie Dog Pillow
Collectibles:Textiles
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.

$35 USD Offers ConsideredSigned Kirk's Folly Star with Dangling Star Rhinestone Pin on Original Card
Jewelry:Vintage:Pins/Brooches
Famous for their fanciful creations, this Kirk's Folly star pin reminds me of a shooting star. I love the small gold-tone heart dangle. The pin is in unused excellent condition - still on the original card. (though I did take it off for photography).

Please email us any further questions - thanks!
$75 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Vintage Sterling Silver Signed ANA Pin and Pendant Figural
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
This beautiful sterling silver pin also has an attachment for use as a pendant as well. The design on the front is reminiscent of looking at a sculpture - and indeed, the lighter silver design is a different piece of silver than the circular base. This is a piece that speaks of a talented silversmith and is the type of design that is open to your own interpretation...I, for one, think I see a creature on the left side with a fish in its mouth. I am still pondering on the rest. The marks on the ...
