$6 USD Offers ConsideredREDUCED POSTCARD, Postally Un-used German Card Circa 1940's
Postcards:Blank Card, German Circa 1940's, World War Ii Postcard
I purchased two of these postcards under the Berlin Bahnhof when I was in Germany in1994. I still have two of them so you can purchase one or both. They are printed on lightweight manila paper, not card stock as postcards are usually printed on. The stamp is of the German leader during that time and it is also printed. The card measures 5.75"x4" and is in good age related condition. The card is blank on the reverse, unused. I will combine shipping for multiple purchases, please email me.
$7 USD Offers ConsideredREDUCED POSTCARD, German Card Circa World War II, With Stamp
Postcards:Announcement, German, Advertisement, World War Ii
This card has been postally used and was sent to Frau Ruth Ludewig in Dresden in 1942. It bears the stamp of the leader of the country in those years and is a preprinted card making an announcement of some sort. The card is just brown paper, not card stock so it is rather "flimsy". I purchased it in 1994 in Berlin in a little shop under the Bahnhof, or railroad station. The condition is age related and has a missing/torn corner on the upper right. There is a lighter "splotch" on the front of the ...
$12 USD ReducedREDUCED FOLIO, Illustrations of the Digestive Tract 1938, Illustrations; Tom Jones
Books:Science, Medicine
Published and Copyrighted in 1938 this folio of illustrations is the 10th printing. Particularly produced for the medical profession it is wonderfully illustrated and contains six single sided pictures and one double sided. Specifically for my interest there are two illustrations of the head, jaw and teeth. Figure 2 shows a particularly painful situation, that of abscesses of the teeth. See your dentist for regular check ups before this happens because once a tooth is abscessed there is no ...
$125 USD ReducedREDUCED 1893 Chicago Embroidery Works, Framed SILK Embroidery
Antiques:Textiles:Silk Embroidery Framed
My family, on the Wallenstein side comes from Chicago, and was there is 1893. This, along with another of a similar kind hung on the stairs in my mothers home for quite some years. I believe she had them re-framed in more recent times. It is possible that this particular piece of stitchery was made for the Chicago Worlds Fair which was held in 1893. It has some damage due to moisture that it received before it was framed. I believe the framing has stabilized the silk and the silk stitchery and I ...

$11 USD Offers ConsideredREDUCED NOTGELD, German Inflationary Currency, Six Bills Circa 1920's
Collectibles:Coins, Currency:German Notgeld, German Emergency Money, Banknote
I have put six great notgeld together in this bunch. There are three bills from stadt Bitterfeld, and one each from Friedrichroda, Paderhorn and Siegburg. These bills were issued after World War I when the value of the national currency was grossly inflated and small towns started to issue their own currency to be used, usually, only in the issuing town. These small nicely designed notes are fun to collect or they can be re-purposed into a collage or an art project. Nice bit of history!
$11 USD Offers ConsideredREDUCED NOTGELD, German Inflationary Currency Issued Post World War I
Collectibles:Coins, Currency:German Notgeld, German Emergency Money, Banknote
There are five notes in this batch, all in uncirculated condition. Two are from the town of Bitterfeld, one from Oberhof, one 50 pfennig note that is printed in old German script that I cannot read and the last one looks as if it is a "good for" for a concert hall or a music festival. I do not speak or read German but some words are familiar to me. Hopefully, if you are a collector you are acquainted with these words. I will be happy to combine shipping costs for multiple purchases, please email me.
$7 USD Offers ConsideredREDUCED Real Photograph, Snapshot of Car Wreck Circa late 1920's
Collectibles:Photographic:Automobile, Car
I can see with a magnifying glass that this wreck took place in the Redwood Mill Town of Scotia, CA. The mill building is faintly seen in the background. This car is really mangled and I can't tell what model or year it is. I like the interesting faces of the bystanders and especially the uniform of the Sheriff or Highway Patrolman. This must have been a big event in the little town because of all the people gathered for the picture. Size is 3.25"x5" no writing on the reverse, lower left hand ...
$10 USD ReducedREDUCED RPPC, Real Photo Post Card, World War I Group of Soldiers
Postcards:Real Photos:Military, World War I
Posed in their uniforms and with their rifles and ammo belts on, these long ago forgotten men are still bravely standing. Makes you wonder how many of them survived. Great card, good age appropriate condition, un-posted, small ink writing in upper corner on reverse.
$5 USD ReducedREDUCED RPPC, Real Photo Postcard of Bathers on Beach At Long Beach, Early 1900's
Postcards:Real Photos:Beach, Swimmers
I laughed when I first looked at this card and saw the bathing suits the bathers were wearing! You can see distinctly the sign in the background that says..."Surf Bathing Long Beach. Cal. but I think that was put there by the photographer. I don't doubt it is Long Beach because of the pier. You can see that it still bears the black photo mounts from the old album, but it unused. It is in good age related condition...and if you bought it you would get a good laugh out of it! FREE SHIPPING

$7 USD Offers ConsideredREDUCED Vintage Post Card, Old Faithful Inn, Dining Room, Yellowstone Park

$12 USD ReducedREDUCED CDV, Carte de Visite, Russian-Polish Soldier in Uniform With Sword 1908
Collectibles:Photographic:Carte De Visite:Military
I am listing this as a Polish antique photograph rather than Russian. The inscription on the reverse is very clearly written but I cannot read it. Some years ago I had a Russian lady-friend of my wife's look at the photo and I think she said it was Polish but, the mind gets foggy at my age! It is a nice clear image with a view of the sword scabbard and a watch fob hanging from his uniform. The insignia on his hat is a little blurry but the table and the old photo sitting on the table are as ...
$495 USD SaleSALE MEERSCHAUM Smoking Pipe, Hand Carved Dated 1807, Running Horse
Antiques:Meerschaum Pipe:Hand Carved, Running Horse Image
Even if you aren't a pipe smoker you can certainly appreciate the skill of the craftsman that made this pipe. The word Meerschaum comes from the German and translates "Sea Foam". Actually, meerschaum is a form of mined clay made of hydrated magnesium silicate. The mined material comes from Turkey and parts of Asia. It came into favor by craftsmen in the early 1800's when it was used by only the wealthiest of smokers. Between 1850 and 1925 most meerschaum pipes were made in Berlin, London, Paris, ...
$6 USD ReducedREDUCED Real Photograph, Vintage Snapshot of a Man Standing By His Car
Collectibles:Photographic:Automobile, Car
This is a classy buggy but I don't know the age or the make. The guy in the photo is obviously proud of his new car. This snapshot has been taken out of an album and there is very slight glue residue on the back. 2.5"x4.25" on light weight photo paper.
$12 USD ReducedREDUCED RPPC, Real Photo Post Card of Two Couples Riding In A "Tin Lizzie"
Postcards:Real Photos:Automobiles, Cars, Autos
Great car! I don't know what kind it is but it is an early one. My wife admired the ladies clothing, I admire the car, of course. Too bad someone trimmed this post card! It is still a good card for a car buff.
$6 USD ReducedREDUCED Vintage Photograph, Snapshot of Proud Man With His Car
Collectibles:Photographic:Automobile, Car
I think this car is parked in front of a lumber mill. It can barely be seen behind the front of the car. Also there is a pile of logs in the background. I don't know what kind of car this is but the vintage is early 20th century. The picture is a little light exposed on the top edge, the corners are somewhat bumped. It measures 4.75"x3" and is lightly soiled.
$6 USD ReducedREDUCED Carte de Visite, CDV Antique Photograph Young Man Circa 1870
Collectibles:Photographic:Carte De Visite
The style of this young guy's suit, which I think is called a Sack Suit, dates this photo to the late 1870's as far as I can tell. Although, clothes were worn longer and were often tailored smaller for the "next in line". I just looked through my loupe and I see that his pants are plaid and his coat has a small pin stripe. Not a suit at all but a "clothing collection". Age related soil, light sepia toned image.
$7 USD ReducedREDUCED Carte de Visite, CDV Antique Photo of Young Boy in Ashland, Ohio
Collectibles:Photographic:Carte De Visite
CDV photos date from 1850 to 1890 so this photo falls somewhere is that 40 years time span. I would like to date it exactly by this young boy's clothes but I can't tell when they were in style. He seems to have a high top boot with a higher heel on. His jacket is too large which makes me believe his "long" pants aren't supposed to be long but are short pants that are too big. I guess I still would date this photo to the late 1860's up until mid to late 1870's. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Age ...

$6 USD ReducedREDUCED Carte de Visite, CDV Antique Photo of a Small Boy With His Skimmer In His Hand
Collectibles:Photographic:Carte De Visite
I guess this type of straw hat is called a skimmer. This is an early photo by the looks of the boys clothes and shoes. I would say that it is about the middle to latter part of the 1860's. It has a darkish stain just opposite his head and general age related soil. There is no photographers info on the picture.

$7 USD Offers ConsideredREDUCED TIN TYPE, Antique Photo Portrait of Man Circa 1860's
Collectibles:Photographic:Tin Type
This small(one eighth plate) photo is mounted in a great old paper frame with a lot of swirls and embellishments typical of the times. It is very clean for its age with only some small bits of soil. It is held in place by a bit of printed paper and it is the original mount. 2.5" by almost 4"
$7 USD Offers ConsideredREDUCED TIN TYPE, Antique Photograph, Portrait of Man Dated 1869
Collectibles:Photographic:Tin Type
This tin type photo is held in its mounting by a piece of newspaper or magazine. The latest date on that paper is 1869 so the date of this photo is around then. It is by an East Coast photographer as determined by the addresses on the paper holding the photo in the mount. Addresses seen are in New York, Boston and New Jersey. There are some condition problems of "bubbling" around the edges, I guess coming from age. 2.5"x3.75"
$45 USD ReducedREDUCED Photograph of Antique Farm Machinery, Tractor, Combine and Some Farmers, CA 1900
Collectibles:Photographic:Large Format, Exterior:Tractor, Farm, Combine, Baler
I'm not a farmer....I'm a retired dentist! So if I called this tractor by the wrong name I apologize to all the farmers that know the correct name. I see in the photo that it looks like they are cutting grass to make bales or silage, but only the experienced eye will know. The men standing for the photo all look like they are hard working people except for the guy on the far left hand side in the white pants. I won't say what I think he looks like but he has a big ole cigar in his mouth as do ...
$325 USD ReducedREDUCED Antique POCKET WATCH, Elgin American Hunter Case, Gold Filled
Antiques:Clocks, Timepieces:Elgin American Watch Company, Elgin Pocket Watch, Hunter Case
Beautiful Hunter Case Elgin American pocket watch in nice engraved and engine turned triple hinged case. The watch has its original shovel or spade shaped cobalt blue hands. I'm not a dealer or a collector of pocket watches so my knowledge is limited but I think this watch would date from circa 1883-1889 and is either size 16 or size 17. The dial measures 1.50" and the total case measurement is 1.75". The number on the inside of the case is 12671 and the case also states that the watch is ...
$7 USD Offers ConsideredREDUCED TIN TYPE, Antique Photo Of W. S. Ball of Perris, Indiana Circa 1860's
Collectibles:Photographic:Tin Type
Perris Indiana would have been the "wild west" in the late 1860's and early 1870's and in this picture Mr. Ball looks like a man from the west. He wears his hair a little longer than a man in the city would from the same era. The photo is mounted in a nice embossed paper frame which is a little soiled from age, but not bad. There is very neat hand writing on the reverse that states his name and his location, but no date. The date is my estimation. 2.5"x3.75"
