Occupied Japan Pink Native American Indian String Holder

$65 USD Offers ConsideredOccupied Japan Pink Native American Indian String Holder

Collectibles:Native Americana:Occupied Japan:String Holder:Kitchenware
What a great piece, this string holder is stamped on the back, Occupied Japan. It measures 7" by 5" and is in outstanding condition with no chips, cracks or fleabites. Made between 1945 and 1952; housewives would place there roll of string in the back, feed the end through the hole in the mouth making it possible to conceal the string and also have it readily available!
Depression Era Peach/Salmon Glass Elephant Powder Jar

$85 USD Offers ConsideredDepression Era Peach/Salmon Glass Elephant Powder Jar

Collectibles:Vanity Items:Glass Powder Jar:Elephant Lid
Made during the Depression years when powder jars where the norm on every ladies dresser or vanity! This piece is not a baby pink but more of a peach or salmon, frosted glass. It is in excellent condition, I don't even find any flea bites around the rim or lid which is quite rare. It measures about 5" tall and 6" across and even though most of us don't use loose powder anymore, it would be a great candy dish or trinket box.
Vintage Crystal Hair Receiver Wheel Cut Floral

$55 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Crystal Hair Receiver Wheel Cut Floral

Collectibles:Vanity Items:Crystal:Hair Receiver:Wheel Cut
Very nice quality and crystal, clear glass with a star bottom that has been ground and no seam lines which makes me believe this was made by one of the Elegant glassware companies. No one saves their locks of hair for braiding anymore an most likely have not since the early 1900's. This wonderful piece is 4" x 3", has a wheel cut daisy on the front and back and is in great shape, there is some very minor roughness along the rim of the lid but no chips or cracks.
REDUCED Christmas, Cardboard, Jointed, Santa-USA-1955

This great looking, jointed, cardboard, Santa was made in the USA and still has the original envelope from 1955. 11" high and 8" at the widest point it is in excellent condition, no bends, tears or discoloration and it even still has the little circular piece of cardboard that you would push out if you wanted to hang him with string. It does look like there was a piece of tape or price sticker across the back on his legs--no real damage, just the usual layer of paper missing from the removal.
SALE Vintage Halloween Cardboard Lantern-Spooky Clown

$64 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Vintage Halloween Cardboard Lantern-Spooky Clown

Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Halloween:Lantern
WOW, Is this cooool!! The die-cut, double-sided, cardboard lantern is finished on the inside with a metallic gold colored cardboard which not only would reflect the light but even without a candle or light, it gives it an eerie look. I don't know an exact age but would guess in the 50's or earlier since the mere safety aspect of a kid carrying around a cardboard item with a candle in it, not only is absurd but would not be allowed by today's standards. This looks to be unused, the interior is ...

This is a great collectors piece, if you love Vintage Christmas, Santa figures or chalk-ware, this one has it all.

Great, vintage, wooden, child's pull toy in excellent condition--it looks like it was never played with.

The cruets are about 7" tall and the pups are about 2". All are in good condition with only minor paint wear--The lid on the oil cruet is very tight--I don't want to break the cork so I have not removed it.
SALE Wilson Walkies, All Wood Ramp Walker-1930's

$32 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Wilson Walkies, All Wood Ramp Walker-1930's

Collectibles:Toys:Wilson Walkies:Ramp Walker
Wilson "Walkies" where the original ramp walkers, most of us remember the plastic ones from our childhood but these where made of wood in the 1930's. This guy is in great condition, no damage to the wood and he walks perfectly. I do believe his coat is original but someone has stitched it along the back, it looks like originally it was glued. He resembles an Army figure but maybe I think that because of the khaki colored coat. The bottom of his foot is stamped, Made in USA with a Pat'd of 12-13- ...

The bowl is scalloped and the rim is turned in in places making it easier to pick the nuts up from the dish without spilling them. 6" by 6" by 2" and in excellent condition, not even a ...
SALE c.1910 Stevens PLUCK Iron Toy Cap Gun

$32 USD Offers ConsideredSALE c.1910 Stevens PLUCK Iron Toy Cap Gun

Collectibles:Toys:J & E Stevens:Iron:Toy:Cap Gun:Pluck
J & E Stevens of Cromwell, CT was in business from the 1840's until the 1950 an produced some of the first iron cap guns. This sweet, little, single cap, toy gun is 3.5" long and in very good condition with no breaks and is in working condition. The Pluck was produced for a number of years but I believe this is most likely one of the older ones since the Made in USA is actually hand etched into the side, the newer ones it is embossed in the molding. Great collectors piece.

SALE 1930's Celluloid Wedding Bride Doll Made in Japan

$34 USD Offers ConsideredSALE 1930's Celluloid Wedding Bride Doll Made in Japan

Collectibles:Toys:Celluloid:Doll:Bride
Wonderful condition, especially for celluloid which is almost paper thin. This is a half doll with Japan stamped on the bottom of the doll, her arms move and she is dressed in a white (now ivory) wedding gown and veil. There is a circular cardboard under the dress giving her the appearance of a standing doll. The cardboard is also stamped Japan. The use of celluloid was outlawed in the United States in the 1940's so she most likely dates to the 30's. The only damage I found are a few tiny (pin ...
SOLD Ouvrier French Imitation Tortoise Shell Folding Comb With Rhinestones

SOLDSOLD Ouvrier French Imitation Tortoise Shell Folding Comb With Rhinestones

Collectibles:Vanity Items:Ouvrier France:Folding Comb
With my research on Ouvrier which is impressed in the top edge of this stylish, folding comb is that "Every three years, since 1924, craftsmen in France have the chance to compete for the coveted Meilleur Ouvrier de France award which is given in numerous fields to each Masterpiece after being judged against extremely stringent rules" The time and effort to enter is grueling but title is kept forever! All that being said, just one look at this beautiful piece and you can see why it could win ...
SOLD Vintage Christmas Santa Holt Howard Jump Rope w/Label

SOLDSOLD Vintage Christmas Santa Holt Howard Jump Rope w/Label

Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Santa:Holt Howard
This jump rope is just so much fun, when you turn the rope, the Santa handles make a clinking noise and their little red tongues move in and out. This still has the original Holt Howard paper label and the tin parts are marked, Made in Japan and have a Pat. number on them. The rope was originally a red plastic which disintegrated from age. I replaced it with a red rope to make it complete. Each Santa Claus handle is made of tin and wood and stands 7" long.
