Steampunk Vintage Pocketwatch Chain by Velvet Mechanism

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 13:59:34 -0500

$8.99
I've managed to get my hands on a set of vintage pocket watch chains. These are great steampunk accessories, and they make great gifts!

They each feature a clasp on one end and a hook on the other. The clasp is for your pocketwatch, and the hook is for your pocket or button hole. They measure roughly 14" from end to end.

I have several different colors of metal and styles of hooks available. #1 is silver, #2 is gold/brass, #3 has a dark, aged patina (please note that each one is unique, and may differ slightly from the photo), #4 is an antiqued gold/silver mix, not as dark as number 3, but also with an aged patina. These all have a simple, solid hook. The next set features a fancier, slightly larger hook. #5 is silver, #6 is gold/brass, #7 is an antiqued gold/silver mix with an aged patina, and #8 is a silver snake chain.

Please note: You will get only ONE pocketwatch chain with your order. Please indicate the number of your choice when ordering. If no choice is indicated, then I'll send you #1.

The bottom photo shows an example of how to attach the chain to your watch. Please note that the watch is not included, but is for sale separately.

The pocketwatch chain comes in a nice black gift box, and will be shipped by Priority Mail in the US.

Steampunk Chest Harness BROWN Faux Leather Underbust Bodice with Silver Gears, Buckles, Chain, and Antique Keys by Velvet Mechanism

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:15:20 -0500

$55.00
This is a unique item, only from Velvet Mechanism. It's a dark brown, faux leather chest harness bodice accented with all sorts of steampunk elements - silver buckles, authentic antique silver skeleton keys, 2 sizes of gears, and chain!

It's the perfect way to dress up any outfit and instantly make it look more steampunk! You can wear this bodice with gritty looks: ship's mechanic, aviator, mad inventor, pirate wench, post-apocalyptic scavenger - or with more refined looks: Victorian lady explorer, clockmaker's daughter, or aristocratic naturalist. It works with so many different styles! This would also look lovely with bellydance or tribal outfits where you want to add a steampunk twist.

The keys are authentic antique keys, so they might not match exactly, but they'll both be clean, silver and pretty much the same size (1" up to 1 and 1/2"). There's one small (1/4" diameter) gear and one large (1/2" diameter) gear dangling from each key. The antiqued silver chain is attached to the key on the right with a lobster clasp, so it's easy to un-hook when you want to take the bodice on or off.

The bodice is made of faux leather with an elastic back for comfort. The shoulder straps have adjustable silver buckles, so you can set them at the height that's most comfortable for you. You could wear this down around your waist as a cincher, or higher up, just below your bust (as shown in the photos). The bodice closes at the front with velcro below the silver buckles.

This is available in one size only, however, it's adjustable, so I'd recommend it for anyone size extra-small up to large. It can fit sizes of about 26" to 32" (your waist or under-bust measurements, depending on what height you wear it at). Completely unstretched and lying flat it measures 13 and 1/2" across and 6 and 1/2" tall (not including straps).

I also have the same bodice available in BLACK! And I have a whole range of steampunk jewelry in my store in case you're looking for more accessories.

The harness is ready to be shipped and it will be sent by Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation in the US.

Steampunk Vintage WWII Military 1938 Spat Corset Waist Cincher OLIVE by Velvet Mechanism

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:28:48 -0500

$89.00
SALE! These corsets normally sell for $99, but I've marked this one down to $89!

This waist cincher is amazing! It's made from a pair of authentic, vintage, military spats from World War II. Absolutely steampunk!

This one is particularly rare because it's dated 1938 on the inside, and because it's a waist cincher height, instead of the usual overbust height.

The fabric is stiff canvas in an olive color. It doesn't have any boning, but the stiffness of the fabric does allow for a good deal of shaping and cinching. It's not meant for tight lacing though. It has lacing up the back and front, so it's fairly adjustable.

Specific measurements are included at the bottom. In general, I'd recommend these corsets for a waist measurement of about 23" at the lowest, up to perhaps 28" to 30" at most. It's actually shaped really well for accentuating your waist and curving out over your hips. Your hip measurement should be at least 34" for a good fit.

The corset laces are a nice matching olive color. It's 9.5" tall, so this is a WAIST CINCHER on an average torso. It has "garter" type straps in front and two small buckles in back - both from the original spats. You could use these to hitch up your skirt in a variety of ways.

Since this corset is made from authentic, WWII vintage spats, there will be a bit of wear, staining, and weathering to the fabric, but that's one of the things I like most about this corset - it looks really gritty and authentic.

Please NOTE: The materials are very rare, but I do have a couple of these in stock. Since they're all made from vintage materials, you won't get the exact corset seen in the gallery photos. They're all very similar, but have slightly different wear, fading, and shades of color.

The one currently for sale is the same shade of pale olive as the one in the photos, but please note - it's more of a WAIST-CINCHER height than the one above. This one measures about 9.5" tall. It has 8 grommets for lacing in back, and 7 eyelets in front.

These spats are in very good condition. They show a bit of wear on the outside, and a little bit of faint staining (possibly from rust) at the back of the left hip. They are stamped inside with the date 1938! All in all, these spats are in pretty remarkable condition for their age. Please follow the links below for detailed photos.

Here are some photos of the corset currently for sale (please note that it fits much better on a human than a mannequin, especially at the bust):

This particular corset is one of my medium-sized ones. It would work best for these measurements: waist 24" to 28", hips 32" to 38".

Steampunk Chest Harness BLACK Faux Leather Underbust Bodice with Silver Gears, Buckles, Chain, and Antique Keys by Velvet Mechanism

$55.00
This is a unique item, only from Velvet Mechanism. It's a black, faux leather chest harness bodice accented with all sorts of steampunk elements - silver buckles, authentic antique silver skeleton keys, 2 sizes of gears, and chain!

It's the perfect way to dress up any outfit and instantly make it look more steampunk!

It works with so many different styles! This would also look lovely with bellydance or tribal outfits where you want to add a steampunk twist.

The keys are authentic antique keys, so they might not match exactly, but they'll both be clean, silver and pretty much the same size (1" up to 1 and 1/2"). There's one small (1/4" diameter) gear and one large (1/2" diameter) gear dangling from each key. The antiqued silver chain is attached to the key on the right with a lobster clasp, so it's easy to un-hook when you want to take the bodice on or off.

The bodice is made of faux leather with an elastic back for comfort. The shoulder straps have adjustable silver buckles, so you can set them at the height that's most comfortable for you. You could wear this down around your waist as a cincher, or higher up, just below your bust (as shown in the photos). The bodice closes at the front with velcro below the silver buckles.

This is available in one size only, however, it's adjustable, so I'd recommend it for anyone size extra-small up to large. It can fit sizes of about 26" to 32" (your waist or under-bust measurements, depending on what height you wear it at). Completely unstretched and lying flat it measures 13 and 1/2" across and 6 and 1/2" tall (not including straps).

I also have the same bodice available in BROWN! And I have a whole range of steampunk jewelry in my store in case you're looking for more accessories.

Steampunk Vintage WWII Military Spat Corset TAN by Velvet Mechanism

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:11:52 -0500

$85.00
SALE! These corsets normally sell for $99, but I've marked this one down to $85!

This corset is amazing! It's made from a pair of authentic, vintage, military spats from World War II. Absolutely steampunk!

The fabric is stiff canvas in a tan/khaki color. It doesn't have any boning, but the stiffness of the fabric does allow for a good deal of shaping and cinching. It's not meant for tight lacing though. It has lacing up the back and front, so it's fairly adjustable.

Specific measurements are included at the bottom. In general, I'd recommend these corsets for a waist measurement of about 23" at the lowest, up to perhaps 28" to 30" at most. It's actually shaped really well for accentuating your waist and curving out over your hips. Your hip measurement should be at least 34" for a good fit, and I'd recommend it for a bust of 34" up to 36" or so.

The corset laces are a nice matching tan color. It's about 12" tall, which is just a little over-bust on an average torso, so you may want to wear something under it.

It has "garter" type straps in front and two small buckles in back - both from the original spats. You could use these to hitch up your skirt in a variety of ways.

Since this corset is made from authentic, WWII vintage spats, there will be a bit of wear, staining, and weathering to the fabric, but that's one of the things I like most about this corset - it looks really gritty and authentic.

Please NOTE: The materials are very rare, but I do have a couple of these in stock. Since they're all made from vintage materials, you won't get the exact corset seen in the gallery photos. They're all very similar, but have slightly different wear, fading, and shades of color.

The one currently for sale is more of a tan/beige/khaki color than the one in the photos, and has matching tan lacing. It has 17 brass eyelet holes in back, and 8 brass hooks in front.

The corset for sale is in better condition than the one in the photos above. The outside is free of marks or stains. The inside has "1R" written on each side - this was probably written by the soldier who originally owned these! These spats are in pretty remarkable condition for their age. Please follow the links below for detailed photos.

Here are some photos of the corset currently for sale. Please note that it fits much better on a human than a mannequin, especially at the bust (for reference, here are the mannequin measurements - bust 35", underbust 31", waist 24.5"):

This particular corset is one of my smaller ones. It would work best for these measurements: bust 32" to 36", waist 23" to 25", hips 32" to 36".

This ring is adjustable, so it will fit a variety of sizes. I've sold this style of ring to both men and women in the past, since it fits such a range of sizes, and works well for either gender.

It features a rectangular, authentic vintage watch movement that is securely mounted on an antiqued copper filigree ring base featuring swirls and other decorative elements. Copper colored watches are especially rare. I've only encountered a small number of them. It's really unique!

The watch measures about 1/2" by 1/2".

You'll definitely attract compliments with this! The gears and cogs are so complex and beautiful.

There's been a lot of talk recently about the danger of radium (a radioactive material) in some vintage watch parts.

Steampunk Vintage Aviator Goggles with Double Lens and Wire Mesh Sides and Original CASE by Velvet Mechanism

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:06:45 -0400

$85.00
SALE! Marked down from $95!

These amazing, antique goggles would be the crowning touch to any steampunk outfit! I believe that these goggles are from the 1920s. These are suitable for men or women.

They have metal mesh sides which fold in, and the flexible arms swing back when not in use, so they're fairly compact and collapsible.

One of the best things about this pair of goggles is that they come with their original case! It's an antique, sturdy, olive metal case that says Willson Goggles on the top.

There's a removable double lens on the right side of the goggles - it clips onto to the arm hinge, and can be removed so that the arms can swing forward. One lens provides 3.3x magnification, and the second provides 5x magnification, so with both of them you get 16.5x magnification!

These goggles are in very good condition for their age. The metal mesh sides are fully intact and in very good condition - some scuffs and residue, but these could probably be cleaned off with some scrubbing. There is no damage to the mesh, and the side shields work properly. The lenses are in great condition and don't have any significant scratches. All in all, these goggles could use some cleaning, but they look pretty amazing for goggles that are nearly 90 years old!

Please note: the bottom 2 photos show a slightly different pair of goggles - this photo is included to show you what similar goggles would look like while being worn.

The goggles will be packed securely and shipped by Priority Mail in the US.
