$75 USDVintage British biscuit tin, "Hunting" c. 1930 fox hunting
Collectibles:Tins
Issued by MacFarlane Lang in 1930, this delightful tin is called "Hunting" and features an attractive scene in the foxhunting field. A handsome box with faux bois or simulated wood sides, accented in gilt trim, a scarlet coated huntsman leaps a hedge on his horse, foxhounds racing along with him. The image on the hinged lid has a soft look to it, looking much like an old time oil painting. Measuring 7" square and standing 2.75" tall, it's in very good vintage condition, with fairly minimal wear ...
$65 USDVintage 1930's British biscuit tin, mother and daughter with calves
Collectibles:Tins
One of the most popular tins I ever get, this is always such a favorite. The lift off lid has a nostalgic farm scene, a mother and her young daughter feeding two calves from a bucket in front of the farm house. Daughter holds her teddy bear while watching mother, and the two baby cows are spotted and darling. The farm house in the background has blue shutters, and matches the outbuildings, likely a barn and a storage building, all with what appear to be thatched roofs. Blooms everywhere, on the ...
$129 USDAntique French inkwell, two horse heads, horseshoe and cap
Antiques:Inkwell
What a special inkwell this is, with its equestrian motif. Set atop a horseshoe, two horse heads with flowing reins in a lovely Art Nouveau style. A riding cap, or perhaps even a military helmet, forms the lid for the inkwell, with its glass insert. Excellent detail to this old piece, which dates to the 1900-1910 era and a warm golden patina to the metal. You'll notice the buckles on the double reins and on the throatlatches of their bridles, this old desk top piece is beautifully done. ...
$139 USDAntique English sterling silver locket, horse shoe motif
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
Another old locket from the Victorian era, featuring the ever popular good luck symbol of a horseshoe. This delicate piece is so expertly made, and opens to reveal the original satin lining and the original metal frames on both sides, protected with clear celluloid covers. It's hallmarked with the lion passant for sterling, the anchor for Birmingham and the maker's mark. I can't find the maker listed in my references, and while the date letter is indistinct, I believe it is the P for 1889. The ...
$89 USDFabulous large vintage horse show poster
Collectibles:Advertising:Horse Show Poster
Done on heavy cardboard, this colorful horse show poster was meant to be hung in a shop window to advertise the upcoming event. Measuring 22" by 14", these old posters are so hard to find now, a reminder of times past when communities banded together to promote local shows and charity events. This one dates to the 1960's, and the central horse head is surrounded by images of horse show classes--driving horses, saddle seat, western pleasure classes, hunters and jumpers. Apparently this show to ...
$89 USDStunning graphics, vintage horse show poster, Saddlebred horse
Collectibles:Advertising:Horse Show Poster
Superb graphics on this old horse show poster, which is done on heavy cardboard. Dating to the 1960's, it shows a stunning American Saddlebred horse going at the trot. Measuring 22" by 14", these were designed for local shops and businesses to advertise the event, this show a benefit for the Butterfield Boy's Ranch. These could be hung in a store window, and this one has an easel back, so that it stands on its own. Some wear to the edges, a bit off loss to the horse's tail, but it's in very good ...
$48 USDVintage English Horner toffee tin, Santa Claus, Christmas
Collectibles:Tins
Here comes Santa, or Father Christmas as he is known in Britain, down the roof with a sack full of toys. He's got a horse, a ball, a toy soldier and several balloons in his bag, for good boys and girls. Snow is drifting down around him, and you can see fir trees in the background. There is general, overall oxidation to this tin, but I couldn't resist it, since it is one of the harder Santa tins to find. Measuring 5.5" by 4.25" and standing 1.25 inches tall, it's a charming old holiday tin from ...
$39 USDVintage 1940's Lang sterling silver swan with crown pin or brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
She's elegant, with just a touch of the adorable, a queen of a swan done in sterling silver by Lang. She's actually the logo of the Lang Sterling Company, and she dates to the late 1940's or early 50's. Her long, graceful neck leads to a body that is three dimensional, with her two wings formed and attached to her body, her paddling feet trail out below. In excellent condition, she measures 1.75" from the top of her crown to her feet, and about 1" across at her body. This regal beauty will come ...
$42 USDVintage Lang sterling silver race horse and jockey pin, 1950's
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling
Another outstanding piece from the Lang Sterling Company, this is a dynamic race horse flying along with his jockey in the saddle. So detailed, you can see the tendons in his legs, the jockey's face, it's typical of the Lang excellence. Tail flying, head up, ears back listening to his rider, the horse shows beautiful musculature and action. Measuring a bit over 2.25" across and a little over 1.5" tall, it's in excellent condition, and one of the more difficult Lang pins to find. A superb old ...
$165 USD Sale PendingSALE PENDING Large antique Victorian sterling silver locket, horse motif, 1887 (on layaway)
Jewelry:Antique:Fine:Victorian
For the discriminating equestrian, a superb Victorian horse shoe shaped locket, that dates to 1887. It's an impressive size, measuring 1" by 1", excluding the jump ring. Wonderfully three dimensional, the horse is set atop another horseshoe, with riding crop accents behind, all adorning the locket body, which is accented at the top by a heavy bar bell. From England, of course, it's fully hallmarked, with the lion passant for sterling, the anchor for Birmingham, the date letter for 1887 and the ...| Items 1 - 10 of 10 | Page 1 of 1 |
