C. 1940s: Large, Celestial Plastic Angel: Figurine or Wall Pocket

$46 USD Offers ConsideredC. 1940s: Large, Celestial Plastic Angel: Figurine or Wall Pocket

Collectibles:Lady Figural:Christmas Or Angel Collectible:Plastic Fantastic:Wall Plaque
One heavenly acquisition from a Scottsdale, Arizona estate! Measures approx. 6 3/4" high x 4 3/4" at widest point. Angel is free standing, so she may be used as a figurine or be placed upon a wall via the notch at the back. Please be advised there is a modicum of nicking to the plastic of the figure's white skirt and, upon close inspection, to the amber-colored clear plastic that forms the halo and outline around the wings. Nothing terribly distracting, in my opinion, and basically in extremely ...
Beautiful White & Gold African Lady Face Figurine or Vase: Awarded the Paw of Approval!

$49 USDBeautiful White & Gold African Lady Face Figurine or Vase: Awarded the Paw of Approval!

Collectibles:Ceramic:Ethnic, Tribal:Figural:Woman With Bone In Hair:C. 1950s-'60s
My boy Archie gave a paws-up to this one after a thorough perusal. Please see third photo. From a Scottsdale estate sale comes this beautiful piece that may serve as a figurine or a bud vase. Measuring in at approx. 5 7/8" tall x 4 1/4" across the base x 2 1/2" in profile, the lady was apparently hand-painted. We find no chips or crazing and she's in truly excellent vintage condition in general. Any discoloration to gold paint in photos is purely reflection.

$9 USD1980 Christmas Soaps & Hand Towels: In Orig. Box: New/Old Stock

~~THIS SET WILL BE OFFERED ONLY THROUGH THE HOLIDAY SEASON.~~ Kitsch but so cute, this soap and towel set was produced by the Oh Dawn!, Inc. company out of NY, NY. The soaps weigh 1.38 ozs. A little bit of nicking to the front of one of the soaps after almost 30 years, but other than that, everything would seem to be in excellent vintage condition. The 12 guest hand towels, which are made of paper, are in mint condition and still wrapped up in cellophane. They measure 11 3/4" x 17". Celebrate a ...
C. 1950s Simplicity Sewing Pattern: Duster - Housecoat: "Mad Men"-worthy!

$10 USD Offers ConsideredC. 1950s Simplicity Sewing Pattern: Duster - Housecoat: "Mad Men"-worthy!

Collectibles:Pattern #4972:For The Lady Of Leisure
What a keeper for the graphics alone. This one is listed as a size 16, with the bust size stated as size 34, but would I would imagine there is some leeway with a loose-fitting piece of apparel such as this. Envelope has seen better days after half a century or more, but to my untrained eye (No seamstress, I, alas.), pattern seems to be in extremely good vintage condition. Original price was a whopping 35 cents.

Vintage VOGUE Sewing Pattern: Shawl:  One Size Fits All, But of Course!

$14 USD Offers ConsideredVintage VOGUE Sewing Pattern: Shawl: One Size Fits All, But of Course!

Collectibles:Do-it-yourself Haute Couture:#8867
So glamorous! These patterns are for three types of shawls. Judging from the drawings of the models on the envelope, I would hazard a guess that these patterns date back to the 1970s or '80s. Originally sold for $2.00. While envelope has seen better days, I would hazard a guess (though I am not a seamstress personally) that the patterns are in very good to excellent vintage condition.
SALE Vintage Foil Reverse-Painted Silhouette: Art Deco Era: Ladies Gazing at Full Moon & Mount

$35 USD SaleSALE Vintage Foil Reverse-Painted Silhouette: Art Deco Era: Ladies Gazing at Full Moon & Mountains

Collectibles:Decorative Arts:Wall Hanging
What a lovely, tranquil scene, probably painted c. 1930s. Measurements are 5 1/2" x 4". In excellent vintage condition. Even the wooden frame, which I am assuming is the original, is in great condition aside from a wee bit of wear at the very corners, which should not be visible once this piece is displayed.
2 Vintage Ballerina Wall Hangings: C. 1950s: "Mad Men"-worthy!

$31 USD2 Vintage Ballerina Wall Hangings: C. 1950s: "Mad Men"-worthy!

Collectibles:Decorative Arts:Dance Related
Perfect for Don Draper's beautiful little daughter's bedroom, or to add retro flair to anyone's home. These two framed pictures measure a total of 9" x 7" and are titled "Whispering" and "The Little Ballerina." Very old paper, which has fallen off the back of one of the works, notes "Product of Reliable/Newark, N.J." The originals were created by an artist whose signature seems to read "Cydney," and these copies are composed of some sort of sturdy cardboard stock, as was commonplace at the time. ...

$39 USD SaleSALE Mod-Style Turquoise Polka-Dot MAJESTIC Compact

Collectibles:Vanity Items:Signed Compact:Vintage:C. 1960s
Much brighter and more gleaming than these rainy-day photos would indicate! This pretty old compact features large raised gold dots accentuated by small turquoise-colored ones. Measurements are 2 3/4" in either direction. Mirror is completely unfogged and intact, and both powder puff and powder well are signed. A few scuffs on the front and back, though nothing too serious; basically in extremely good vintage condition.
Vintage HL Patent Purse w/Polka Dot Lining

$25 USDVintage HL Patent Purse w/Polka Dot Lining

Collectibles:Ladies' Accessory:Handbag:Designer, Signed
This is the first time I ever recall wishing I could wear a purse inside out! That's due to the adorable pale-blue lining that features lots of white polka dots, even on the two darling little change purses attached inside. The outside is taupe faux patent leather, and the measurements are 12 1/2" long x 5 1/4" high. Envelope style, this handbag may be used as a clutch or held by its handle. Basically in extremely good vintage condition. There is a bit of tarnishing to the goldtone-metal frame, ...
Large Vintage Wooden African Lady Face Wall Hanging

$60 USD Offers ConsideredLarge Vintage Wooden African Lady Face Wall Hanging

Collectibles:Ethnographic:Woman W/Basket:Figural Wall Plaque:Home Decoration
Recently acquired this lovely plaque at a going-out-of-business sale in the Philadelphia area. I believe this piece was probably hand carved, and while I'm not at all sure what the wood is, it is a nice mahogany shade. Measurements are approx. 12 3/4" long x 6 1/4" at widest point. Very old string-and-metal wall hanger on the back, as well as vestiges of an old sticker that undoubtedly named the location of and company that issued this home accessory. I would hazard a guess that it dates back to ...

Vintage Satsuma-Style Asian Elephant Figurine

$60 USDVintage Satsuma-Style Asian Elephant Figurine

Collectibles:Oriental:Figural:Probably Tobacciana
Part of an estate sale, this handsome fellow measures approx. 4 1/2" high x 7" at his widest point. He carries a "saddle bag" on either side and he sports a lusterware container upon his back which has a few bumps beneath the glowing paint that were evidently incurred during the manufacturing process. Hand-painted, I feel sure, and I find no chips, cracks, or crazing. No manufacturer's mark. A fellow Ruby Laner more knowledgeable than I kindly informed me that this item probably dates back to ...

SALE MIB Elegant Old Multi-Piece Brass Barware Set: Thailand

$42 USD SaleSALE MIB Elegant Old Multi-Piece Brass Barware Set: Thailand

Collectibles:Breweriana:Asian - Oriental Bar Utensils
A real find, this bar set features 9 pieces and genuinely appears to be never used. As a former bartender, I can identify most of the pieces, such as the corkscrew, fruit slicer, stainer, shot cup, bottle opener, and stirrer, but this set is so extensive, a couple of the pieces are a mystery to me. Aside from the shot cup, all of these bar accessories have rich brown wooden handles. Strainer has an elephant above the handle. Two pieces are stamped "Thailand" on their handles. Everything is in ...

$37 USD Offers ConsideredC. 1960s CAFFCO Boy & Girl Angel Mod Candlesticks: Japan

Caffco is a company that begin out of Montgomery, AL, over 50 years ago. These darling examples of their home decorations measure approx. 5 1/2" tall x 3 1/2" wide across their bases. I believe they are constructed of some sort of heavy-duty, ceramic-like plastic. Each features a sticker on the bottom reading "Caffco Quality Products Japan." At one point these candlesticks were evidently featured in a brick-and-mortar shop or the like and were written upon in ink upon their bases. The girl reads ...

$25 USD Sale PendingSALE PENDING LOUISE BROOKS Cover: Feb. '28 "Capt. Billy's Whiz Bang"

Collectibles:Art Deco:Vintage Periodical:The Jazz Age:Flappers Galore
Remember the song from "The Music Man" about there being trouble (with a capital "T") in River City? Like a lot of people, I was confused about what "Capt. Billy's Whiz Bang" was and just how it was aiding and abetting in the corruption of the town's youth. Well, now I know... "Whiz Bang" may be tame by today's standards, but it was deemed racy in its day due to some of its politically incorrect stances and humor, as well as due to the Deco-era drawings and photos of somewhat scantily clad ...
