$118 USDVintage Vantine's Sample Talc Tin
Antiques:Accessories:Vanity Items:Perfume & Talc
This is an old miniature powder tin of Vantine's Kutch Sandalwood Talcum. There is incredible detail on each side of the tin with an Indian theme. It is very colorful, albeit very tiny, with columns and arches and people that look ready for battle and even an elephant and a camel. The back lists the many uses of this powder. The tin appears to still be full and in nice condition with minimal wear. The base trim, lid and cap which are all gold show some paint loss especially on the base. It ...
$110 USDVintage Duffy's Whiskey Celluloid Pocket Mirror
Antiques:Accessories:Mirrors:Advertising
This colorful old celluloid backed mirror is advertising Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. It's almost a medical endorsement with the line; Makes the Weak Strong.

$365 USDVintage Mueller Cast Iron Sewing Machine
Antiques:Accessories:Sewing Items:Sewing Machine
I believe this old cast iron sewing machine is a Mueller #12. It is japanned black with nice gold floral decals. The base has ornate detailing on its feet and front & back edges. It has seen better days but is still a nice little machine. The paint on the base still has good gloss but the paint and decals on the body are slightly dull although basically good. The plating on the bed plate is mostly gone and therefore rusted. The wooden knob on the wheel is probably a replacement as it is very ...

$115 USDVintage Celluloid Figural Elephant Comb

This is a very unusual old celluloid novelty. The elephant is actually the cover for a comb, possibly considered a moustache comb. The teeth of the comb slip inside of the body of the celluloid elephant with the feet of the elephant being the handle of the comb. Green rhinestone eyes enhance this unusual piece. It is not marked with a country of origin but I believe it was probably made in Germany. Overall it measures about 4" long and 1 1/2" wide. It is in good condition with minimal wear. ...
