Vintage Anchor Hocking FIRE KING SORENO Pattern HONEY GOLD Patio Oil LAMP CHIMNEY

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:40:26 -0400

$6.00
If you've broken your chimney, this is just what you need to complete your Patio Lamp! Here's the hard to find Fire King SORENO pattern Honey Gold Patio Lamp glass chimney, measuring 7 1/16" high x 3 3/4" in diameter. Produced by Anchor Hocking glassworks between 1966 and 1970. It's in absolutely MINT condition with no scratches, chips, cracks or damage of any kind.

This chimney fits over the clear glass base (shown in two of the photos above) that holds the kerosene/oil that fuels the lamp. I don't have the base, but maybe you do!

A WORD ABOUT ANTIQUE, VINTAGE & COLLECTIBLE GLASS: Most of the glass I sell will exhibit features indicative of age, previous use, and outdated production methods. These may include visible base wear, bubbles, warping, pattern irregularities, cooling striations (often called "straw marks"), and obvious mold lines. Old glass can have small inclusions of ash, sand, or dirt specks that became embedded in the glass during manufacture. All of these are expected characteristics of vintage glass and are generally accepted among collectors. I will, however, point out anything that might be seen as a negative and will describe any chips, cracks or other damage that would impact the value of the piece. I do my best to describe my items accurately and it’s always possible that I might miss something, but I try very hard not to.

You can always Convo me if you have questions. And, out of all the gazillions of wonderful items on Etsy, I want to thank you so much for stopping by to see mine!

Vintage Highly Decorative Porcelain Bottle for Recipe - MY OWN SALAD DRESSING - Made In Japan

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:40:26 -0400

$8.00
Here's a great little display item for your vintage/retro kitchen. It's a profusely decorated little porcelain bottle marked JAPAN on the base. The front is colorful, ornately framed out and is full of information.

It reads, "MY OWN SALAD DRESSING - PREPARED FROM AN OLD SECRET FAMILY RECIPE - GUARANTEED TO CONTAIN ONLY THE FINEST INGREDIENTS - NOT AVAILABLE AT THE FINEST FOOD SHOPS - NOTE: RECIPE GIVEN FREE TO FRIENDS AND GUESTS ON REQUEST." Comes with the original cork stopper. I'm not sure when this was made but it's probably 50s, or 60s.

This bottle is in very good vintage condition. The front is a little out of focus in the photo, but the decal is actually crisp and clean-edged, and shows no loss of color or wear to the decoration or lettering. There is an old, faintly stained, fine hairline on the collar of the neck; it's on the left side of the bottle as you look at it and is not noticeable from the front. The bottle measures 7 1/8" high x 2" wide x 2" deep.

A WORD ABOUT ANTIQUE, VINTAGE & COLLECTIBLE POTTERY: Most of the china, pottery, porcelain, and dinnerware I sell is antique, vintage, or has been discontinued and is no longer produced. On close inspection, vintage pottery pieces may show bottom wear as evidence of age and previous use. Additionally, there may be glaze misses and pops, pattern irregularities, mold marks, inclusions of grit or sand, and various kinds of imperfections in the glaze surface—all done during the manufacturing process. These are expected characteristics of vintage pottery or porcelain and are generally accepted among collectors. I will, however, point out anything that might be seen as a negative and I will do my best to describe any chips, cracks or other damage that would impact the value of the item. It’s always possible that I might miss something, but I try very hard not to.

Pair of Vintage ANCHOR HOCKING Fire King FOREST GREEN Glass LIDO MILANO 12oz Tumblers

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:40:26 -0400

$14.00
Here are two fabulous FOREST GREEN colored glass 12 ounce tumblers in the hard-to-find LIDO MILANO pattern made by Anchor Hocking/Fire King. The glass is textured in a crinkle pattern. They were discontinued in 1963.

Pictured as item #E4087 on page 83 of the book "Forest Green Glass" by Hopper, these have a book value of $30 to $40 each.

These tumblers are in great condition with NO chips or cracks. There are a couple of very minor scratches just below the safety rim. Each one measures 5 1/2" high x 3" in diameter.

To preserve the beauty of these tumblers and your other vintage glassware, be sure to always hand wash rather than putting them into the dishwasher. Automatic dishwashing detergent coupled with extremely hot water and chemicals in the detergent and minerals in the water will eventually "etch" the glass surface making it permanently cloudy and/or discolored.

Shipping via Priority Mail will be a flat rate of $9.00 for the pair, with free Delivery Confirmation if paid for with PayPal. Insurance of $1.65 is recommended but optional.

Pair of Vintage LIBBEY GLASS Jade-ite/Jadite Green and Red-Orange RINGED/STRIPED/BANDED Tumblers

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:40:26 -0400

$10.00
Let me start by saying that I am in the process of taking new photos of these two striped tumblers, because the pictures you're seeing here don't reflect them at their best. They're really quite pristine, but the photos make them look a bit cloudy. They're not! This photo grouping is all I have at the moment, but I will be replacing it as soon as I can!

Presenting two vintage striped, ringed or banded tumblers with heavy weighted bottoms. One has really beautiful Jade-ite/Jadite green bands and the other one has gorgeous red-orange bands. They're identical except for color. They both have narrow bases that gently flair upward to wider rims. Very retro look.

The bases are marked with a script "L" on the bottom designating the manufacturer as Libbey Glassware. The colored bands are crisp and clean-edged and the glass is bright and sparklingly clear.

Both tumblers are in excellent condition. There is only one tiny issue worth mentioning and that is the extremely small pin-hole in one of the bands (pictured); it could be a manufacturing flaw or post-production—I can't tell—but it's quite negligible. Just keep in mind that the photo below is greatly enlarged. The tumblers measure 5 3/4" high x 3 3/8" in diameter at the widest part of the rim.

To preserve the beauty of these tumblers and your other vintage glassware, be sure to always hand wash rather than putting them into the dishwasher. Over time, automatic dishwashing detergent coupled with extremely hot water and chemicals in the detergent and minerals in the water will eventually "etch" the glass surface making it permanently cloudy and/or discolored.

Shipping via Priority Mail will be a flat rate of $9.00 for the pair, with free Delivery Confirmation if paid for with PayPal. Insurance of $1.70 is recommended but optional.

BLUE JAY and WHITE DOGWOOD BLOSSOMS Decorated Glass Tumbler - FEDERAL GLASS 1953

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:40:26 -0400

$6.00
Presenting a decorated tumbler that I believe was produced by Federal Glass in the mid-1950s. The decal features a Blue Jay on a branch among what looks like white dogwood blossoms. The design goes all around the circumference of the glass. An exceptionally nice specimen.

This desirable little tumbler is in excellent condition. It has a definite taper from the narrow heavy bottom to the wider rim. Holds 10 ounces. The decal is crisp and clean-edged and the glass is bright and clear. It measures 5 3/4" high x 3 3/8" in diameter at the widest part of the rim.

Shipping via Priority Mail will be a flat rate of $5.75 with free Delivery Confirmation if paid for with PayPal. Insurance is recommended but optional.

Grey Glazed CERAMIC ELEPHANT DECANTER - Manufactured by C. Miller 1956 - Republican Party Mascot

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:39:30 -0400

$16.00
Presenting a grey glazed CERAMIC ELEPHANT DECANTER, © C MILLER '56. Measures 9 3/4" high x 4 3/4" wide x 2 1/2" deep. This is a great item for the avid Republican. Show your affiliation with this party emblem during the run-up to the National Presidential Election. The elephant's trunk is in the UP position which is a good omen—and something that those of you who collect elephant figurines are sure to know. Embossed on the inside edge of the arched bottom it's marked: FEDERAL LAW FORBIDS SALE OR REUSE OF THIS BOTTLE – REGAL CHINA – D-334-145-56 – © C MILLER 56 – PATENT PENDING. One of a matched pair!

This decanter is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, crazing, or damage that I can find. The only thing worth mentioning is that the bottom—which is normally unseen—was left unglazed and painted grey; some of the paint has since worn off. Measures 9 3/4" high x 4 3/4" wide x 2 1/2" deep.

I have two of these that are essentially identical. I think they'd be great to use as bookends—just fill with small pebbles or sand (even rice or dried beans would work) to weight them and stick a cork in the top. I'll even supply the cork(s)! They could also be used as vases. If you are interested in buying the two, Convo me and I'll put the second one up for you. Get them both at the same time and save on shipping.

Estimated shipping costs for one decanter should not exceed the rate for 3 lbs packaged. Insurance is recommended but optional.

One-Half Dozen Solid Hardwood Lathe-Turned REPLACEMENT HANDLES for Tools or Other Re-Purposing - Grade B

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:39:30 -0400

$6.00
Six lathe-turned raw wood replacement tool handles, made from what looks like solid oak. I don't know what type of tool or implement these were intended for, but I know they will easily accommodate hand files as shown in the photo. Some of them have minor water staining and imperfections that I've tried to show in close-up; none of which will affect their serviceability. They could use either light sanding and/or staining/painting if you want them to look less rustic.

I've separated them into groups and graded them A, B, and C. This grouping is grade "B" because of very minor imperfections.

Each handle measures 5 1/8" long x 1 1/4" in diameter.

Shipping is a flat rate of $3.75 by First Class in a padded envelope.

Solid Hardwood Lathe-Turned REPLACEMENT HANDLES for Tools or Other Re-Purposing - One-Half Dozen - Grade 'C'

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:39:30 -0400

$4.00
Six lathe-turned raw wood replacement tool handles, made from what looks like solid oak. I don't know what type of tool or implement these were intended for, but I know they will easily accommodate hand files as shown in the photo. Some of them have various degrees of water staining that I've shown in close-up, but which won't affect their serviceability. They would need either sanding and/or staining/painting if you wanted them to look less rustic/distressed.

I've separated them into groups and graded them "A", "B", and "C". This grouping is Grade "C" because of the moderate water staining and/or some errant spots of varnish here and there (not much of this). I have more of these if you need them--just convo me.

Each handle measures 5 1/8" long x 1 1/4" in diameter.

Shipping is a flat rate of $3.75 by First Class in a padded envelope.

Mature Audience - Vintage SPINSTER and NYMPHO Humorous Cartoons Adult Theme Old Fashioned BAR GLASSES Tumblers

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:38:11 -0400

$10.50
Offering two unusual adult-themed double old fashioned-size bar glasses, probably from the 1970s, with amusing cartoons on them. Each features a different illustration representing a sexual proclivity that is the polar opposite of the other. One of these poor gals appears to be a SPINSTER with a spider web growing undeterred in an area that would indicate a certain lack of activity. The other gal appears to be a NYMPHO who apparently doesn't suffer from the spinster's problem; she's unabashedly naked and happily marking off her wall to keep a record of her various encounters.

Both tumblers are in excellent condition with no signs of use. Free from flaws or damage. They may look cloudy in the photo, but I assure you that they are not. Decals are clear, sharp and completely intact with no nicks or scratches. Measures 4 1/8" high by 3 1/4" in diameter.

To preserve the attractiveness of these tumblers and your other vintage glassware, be sure to always hand-wash rather than put them into the dishwasher. Over time, automatic dishwashing detergent coupled with extremely hot water and chemicals in the detergent and minerals in the water will eventually "etch" the glass surface making it permanently cloudy and/or discolored.

Pair of Unusual Tall Narrow Vintage Porcelain Pedestal COFFEE MUGS - MADE IN JAPAN - Labeled with the Names of Different Kinds of Classic Coffee Drinks

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:38:11 -0400

$11.00
I've seen a lot of porcelain pedestal base mugs made in Japan, but never any with a shape as cute as these!

Tall and narrow, each one has the names of different classic coffee drinks printed vertically on their sides in red, blue, green and black lettering on a pure white ground. Some of the drink names are spelled a bit creatively!

The bottoms are imprinted with a crown, an R in a circle (® for Registered Trademark) the name ROYAL CROWN and the number 3099. One of the mugs has a paper sticker stating MADE IN JAPAN.

In perfect condition with virtually no evidence of having been used. One of the mugs has a production flaw where the decal wasn't applied precisely—no harm and really doesn't detract. Measures 4 1/2" high x 2 1/8" in diameter.

Vintage B.C. COMICS Characters ICE AGE COLLECTION 1970s - Anchor Hocking FIRE KING Bowl - MARATHON GAS Premium

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:38:10 -0400

$7.00
This is a tab-handled milk white glass cereal bowl from the B.C. Ice Age Collection by Johnny Hart, and features several of his zany animal characters from the popular comic strip. In keeping with the prehistoric theme of the strip, this clever bowl has a rough texture on the outside and is intended to look like it was chiseled out of rock or ice.

Made as a promotional item by Anchor Hocking in the Fire King line for the Marathon Oil Co. gas stations during 1971 and 1972, these are becoming harder and harder to find in good condition with no damage to the decals. Signed "Hart" on the side of the bowl and embossed "Fire King Anchor Hocking Made in USA" on the bottom.

Excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or utensil marks. Decals are complete and bright. Measures 5 1/2" wide from tab handle to tab handle x 2 1/4" high.

Vintage SWEDISH MODERN Pattern AQUAMARINE GLASS BOWL by ANCHOR HOCKING

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:37:27 -0400

$7.00
Presenting a beautifully colored SWEDISH MODERN pattern Aquamarine glass bowl by Anchor Hocking, circa 1960s-70s.

This bowl was part of a chip and dip set--a large bowl and small bowl with metal holder (see photo of a complete set with both bowls in gold colored glass). You don't need the small bowl and the metal holder to use this bowl, however! It would make a lovely one for serving at the table or just for decoration. Pretty color for the powder room for soaps or bath supplies.

It's in very good condition. I can find no flaws or damage. It measures 8" in diameter x 3" high.

There is no "anchor-over-H" logo mark on the bottom of the bowl, but I have a set of identical bowls in their original box that's labeled with the Anchor Hocking Glass name.

Estimated shipping costs should not exceed the rate for 2 lbs packaged.

Expert handling/packaging and careful preparation for safe shipping of this item will be by Parcel Post.

FROG-PRINCE Wooden Wall MIRROR - Created by STEVEN BECKER, E. Hampton, Long Island, NY

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:37:26 -0400

$17.00
Check out the attitude on this guy—here's a frog who already knows he's a Prince! This auction is for a mirror with wooden frame hand carved in the shape of a really mellow, laid-back frog. Totally delightful! Solid pine stained in a medium shade. Beautifully hand made by Steven Becker of East Hampton (Long Island), NY and stamped with that information on the back on both the wood and the cardboard that backs the mirror. Affixed with a bracket and ready to hang on your wall. You could even use it flat on your dresser to hold your perfume bottles or other boudoir accessories.

The outside dimension of the mirror frame measures 15 3/4" high x 10 3/4" wide x 3/4" thick. The mirror area measures 9 1/2" high x 5 1/4" across the widest part of the frog's belly. It's in excellent, previously-loved condition with only two or three of the tiniest hard-to-see shallow pinprick indentations in a couple of places. They're extremely minor—definitely no harm and absolutely no significant detraction in any way. (All but invisible, they wouldn't even show up in the photos.)

Estimated shipping costs will not exceed the rate for 4 lbs packaged. Insurance is recommended but optional.

$14.00
Here are two fabulous 12 ounce AQUAMARINE colored glass tumblers in the hard-to-find LIDO MILANO pattern made by Anchor Hocking/Fire King. The glass is a crinkle textured pattern and they have wonderful color!

This pattern was called "Milano" in the 1960's and called "Lido" in the 70's. Excellent vintage condition with NO chips or cracks. Each one measures 5 1/2" high x 3" in diameter.

To preserve the beauty of these tumblers and your other vintage glassware, be sure to always hand wash them rather than putting them into the dishwasher. Automatic dishwashing detergent coupled with extremely hot water and chemicals in the detergent and minerals in the water will eventually "etch" the glass surface making it permanently cloudy and/or discolored.
