Daisy Art. 65 Crochet Booklet Volume 16, 1974, Doilies

$10 USDDaisy Art. 65 Crochet Booklet Volume 16, 1974, Doilies

Collectibles:Textiles
This booklet was issued in 1974 and is called Volume 16. It contains 43 pages of gorgeous doily patterns, some with beads and some without. The examples are beautifully photographed and laid out in large...almost life-sized displays. There are some beautiful ones and plainer. My favorite is Golden Harvest. The book is in very nice condition.
Annalee/Anna Lee Angel Mouse w/Brown Body

$40 USDAnnalee/Anna Lee Angel Mouse w/Brown Body

Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Annalee, Anna Lee
This 6" Angel Mouse was made by Anna Lee or Annalee (I've seen it listed both ways) and is suggested it would go nicely with their nativity set. She has a brown body with white wings, which have blue lines depicting feathers, a gold halo over blonde hair and pink ears. There is a #7724 paper tag with the date of 1997 and I was able to find her listed on page 115 of the "Price Guide to Contemporary Collectibles and Limited Editions," 9th ed. It is my understanding that this Angel Mouse is the ...

Popular Crochet #204 and Tablecloths & Bedspreads #224 Booklets

$8 USDPopular Crochet #204 and Tablecloths & Bedspreads #224 Booklets

Collectibles:Textiles:Crochet Booklets
Although there isn't a date of issue on the Tablecloths & Bedspreads #224, 35-page booklet, I am guessing it was in the 1950-60s as the price is 35 cents. The Popular Crochet #204 booklet containing 35 pages sold for 65 cents and was issued in September 1979. Both booklets are in nice condition and are complete. I admire anyone who has the patience and stamina to actually complete a doily, let alone a tablecloth or bedspread. There is one pattern in the bedspread booklet that is to die for. It ...

You'd be hard-pressed to come up with a cuter Hallmark ornament. This is my absolute favorite of the hundreds of ornaments I have in my possession.

REDUCED Old Carnival Days Scotty Dog Chalkware

$22 USD ReducedREDUCED Old Carnival Days Scotty Dog Chalkware

Collectibles:Chalkware, Scotty, Chalkware Dog, Carnival Chalkware
Did you ever try to win a chalkware animal at the local carnival or fair? Those targets were evasive, weren't they? Well, this old Scotty dog from those long gone days has been well cared for. It measures 6 1/4" tall x 11" long and the condition is very nice. I would guess it is from the 40-50s, but a collector might inform me otherwise. I have other chalkware pieces listed and will be happy to combine for shipping. I imagine many have been tossed.
Dept. 56 Children w/Christmas Gifts - Winter Silhouettes

$25 USDDept. 56 Children w/Christmas Gifts - Winter Silhouettes

Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Dept. 56 Winter Silhouettes
I'm not sure which group these figures came from, or if they were sold separately, but these are 4 pieces from the Winter Silhouettes line of Dept. 56. I am thinking they might be figures to place around the Dept. 56 Winter Silhouette Christmas tree. They measure 3 3/4" x 3 1/3"; 4" x 3 1/4"; 3 1/2" x 2 1/2"; 3" x 2 1/4". There is a piano with candelabra and a boy playing it like Linus from Peanuts, a girl with a book and another girl with a doll. Darling features. No damage.
German Printer's Block/Letterman Press for Hat with Lilies

$7 USDGerman Printer's Block/Letterman Press for Hat with Lilies

Collectibles:Copper Printer's Block:Letterman Press:German:Party Hat
I was fortunate in obtaining a group of old German printer's blocks which came from a printing house that was in operation around WWII. Part of what they printed were catalogs for party hats, noisemakers, garlands, lanterns, etc. Of course, Germans are famous for their harvest festivals and many of these are apparently for those activities since they have leaves, grapes, etc. This block is for a hat with lilies and is edged with a lacy trim. It measures 1 3/16" x 11/16" and appears to be mounted ...
REDUCED Occupied Japan Wall Pocket, Young Lady and Birds

$32 USD ReducedREDUCED Occupied Japan Wall Pocket, Young Lady and Birds

Collectibles:Decorative:Occupied Japan:Wall Pocket
I'd almost believe that this wall pocket was put away in a drawer, many years ago, and never used. It is in wonderful condition. It is of a young woman feeding or watering the birds. The pocket measures 6 7/8" tall x 3 1/4" wide by 1 7/8" deep. It is free of damage. It is marked Occupied Japan on the back.

$8 USD ReducedREDUCED Simplicity Doll Outfit Pattern #4839 for 15" Chatty Baby and 18" Toddler Dolls

Collectibles:Textiles:Simplicity Doll Pattern:1950 Doll Pattern
I was unable to find a date for this pattern, but I imagine it was in the 1950s, as it cost 45 cents. This is Simplicity's #4839 Doll Outfit pattern for size 15" to size 18" such as, the 15" Tiny Chatty Baby and 18" Toddlers...Suzie Sunshine, Chatty Baby and Belle-Telle.

REDUCED Old German Copper Printer's Block for Party Hats

$25 USD ReducedREDUCED Old German Copper Printer's Block for Party Hats

Collectibles:Advertising:Copper Printer's Block:Party Hats:Germany
Several years ago, I obtained these old copper printer's blocks from Germany. They came from an old printing house which used to print catalogs for party favors, hats, garlands and decorations for festivals, wedding receptions, birthday parties, New Year's Eve parties, etc. and I would guess they come from the 1930-40s. This copper printer's block is of two party hats with one being decorated with a plume and butterfly on the front and a band of circus animals marching along the band. The other ...
REDUCED Des Moines Register Needlecraft Service Snowball Quilt Pattern, 1946

$14 USD ReducedREDUCED Des Moines Register Needlecraft Service Snowball Quilt Pattern, 1946

Collectibles:Textiles:Quilt Pattern
This Des Moines Register Needlecraft Service pattern has a copyright date of 1946, although it was mailed on Dec. 28th, 1956. It is an Alice Brooks pattern and is her #7065, Snowball Quilt. The envelope and pattern are in very good condition, as the former owner took very good care of her patterns. I believe some may have been looked at and stored away, as many do not appear to have been unfolded much.

$20 USD ReducedREDUCED Old Carnival Days Chalkware Terriers, Come Get Your Prize!

Collectibles:Chalkware Terriers, Chalkware, Carnival, Fairs, Prizes
These old chalkware terriers were given as prizes at fairs and carnivals...knock down or ring the right target and you took home a prize for all that money you spent at the booth.

One ear was patched during manufacture, but aside from that, the piece is in pretty good shape. It's been sitting in an attic as a remembrance of those good ol' days. If ...
REDUCED Chalkware Piggy Bank

$43 USD ReducedREDUCED Chalkware Piggy Bank

Collectibles:Banks:Chalkware:Piggy Bank
These chalkware banks bring back memories of prizes given at state fairs or carnivals for hitting a target so many times with a ball or some such game of chance. Whoever won this pig piggy bank took excellent care of it through the years, as it has retained the majority of its paint and doesn't have chips or cracks. Keep in mind that these were mass produced and were rather crude, but there is a certain endearing quality to these chalkware pieces, and the fact that it has come through all these ...

Vintage Coffee Jar w/Wide Mouth and Lid

$42 USDVintage Coffee Jar w/Wide Mouth and Lid

Collectibles:Kitchenware:Storage Jar/Coffee Jar
My mother always used coffee jars for storing anything from brown sugar (to keep it moist) to pasta, dried legumes, cereal and cookies. I'd love to have her old-fashioned pantry, as everything was neat and in sight. This coffee jar is similar to one Mom used in the 1940-50s, but I don't know the brand that might have come in it. She used Butternut coffee. Could that be it? It measures 8 1/2" tall x 6 1/2" wide and the opening is 4 5/8" wide. The lid is in very nice condition, as is the jar. ...

REDUCED Old Wooden Wool Carder

$30 USD ReducedREDUCED Old Wooden Wool Carder

I can't read the manufacturer's name that is stamped into the front of this wool carder, but I believe it is Vedill or some such. It measures 9 1/8" x 4 3/4" and 8 1/4" to the end of the handles. The wire teeth are held in place by leather and/or tin strips...some of which are missing sections. The top paddle has cracked in half a long time ago and two strips of wood were nailed across the crack to hold it in place. It worked. However, whoever nailed one lath over the break, tended to bend the ...

This pattern is for a skirt design that was very popular during the 1950s. Remember the time when we wore can-cans?
