Victorian 10K Gold Diamond Chip Cross

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:46:14 -0500

$37.00
This would make a great gift this Christmas season for that special someone, and the best thing about this cross is that it could be for a male or female. It's a beautiful cross from the turn of the century in 10K gold with a diamond chip in the center, set in silver. I researched the mark on the back, "ESEMCO" to find that its a company from the early 1900s, and this is probably an earlier piece. The bail is also marked 10k, and allows this piece to easily be slipped onto the chain or your choosing. A darling piece of jewelry, great for the holiday season. With the bail, it measures 1.125inches/3cms tall.

Carnelian and Rhinestone Vintage Brooch or Pendant Focal Piece 1950s

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:16:07 -0500

$13.00
Beautiful old rhinestone piece with a lovely carnelian set in the center. Its such a natural, earthy red that looks great on women of any skin color and goes with many garments, even contrasting greens. The stones are deep set, and all look original. some have gone dead and built up a verdigris, but I think thats so charming. I'm sure it could be cleaned up.

The great thing about this brooch is that it has holes in many different places that could easily be used for adding chain, charms, or whatnots to to create something entirely different. This piece is great for upcycle or for wearing!

It measures 2.25inches/5.75cms wide.

The two multi-beaded pairs and the rhinestone pair are marked Japan and West Germany. Great pre 1950s earrings.

ZORRO Ring Vintage 1950s Plastic TV Disney Collectible

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:11:29 -0500

$37.00
Love love love this ring! Initially, I wanted to make something out of it, but I really couldn't find a way to do it without destroying the piece, so I'm offering it up to you. It's plastic, in pretty good shape for being used by a kid and tucked away and hidden for 50, almost 60 years. The word "Zorro" was originally all gold, but this is worn. Also, the paint on the ring is faded and chippy. These were cereal premiums, the prize in the cereal box inspired by the 1950s Disney classic Zorro. Great for any collector of early Disneyana, vintage plastics, or early 50s TV. The cab on the front measures .5inches/1.25cms. I would estimate this ring to be a 6 or 6.5, but its really a childs ring, and I'm not selling this with the intent of someone wearing it, but hey, once its yours, you can stick it up your nose if it suits your fancy. Just please, don't let your kids stick it up their noses.

$6.00
I don't really deal with mid century compacts or rouge or any vanity items, but I found this in a lot of junk I bought at an antique store. The color is called "Magnet Red" and its made by "Air Spun." The case is brass with lovely patination. Original puff is inside, as well as some of the original color.

Three Silvertone Pocket Watch Keys

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:11:37 -0500

$28.00
I bought a lot full of keys (as I'm constantly doing) and I found these treasures. These are very difficult to find, as they are very easy to lose. Many were made because men would keep losing them, and eventually they were made with hoops on them to attach to the watch chain. They are so hard to find because dealers snatch them up to work on their old watches. Two have the small hoops on the side. One is a needle-eye top and two are round on the top. 1860-1910s Measures 1.25inches/3.25cms.

Faux Cut Steel Belt Buckle Silver Tone 1900s Antique Oldness

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:50:19 -0500

$17.00
I really love this piece. Its intended to mock cut steel, and was produced in the early 1900s. Its an early belt buckle. It's made from three pieces--the stamping of the cut steels, the back, which actually is used for putting the buckle onto a belt or strip of fabric, and the piece of metal which gives the illusion of sticking it through a belt hole. A great Victorian-turn of the century piece. Could be upcycled in many ways or kept as a collectors piece. Measures 2.25inches/5.75cms.

$24.00
This here is a Miner's oil lamp that was worn as a post Victorian watch fob probably from the 1920-30s. This is a large fob, and a very solid piece. It's a beautiful dirty silver color and is stamped "ALPACA"? on the bottom. Which may mean its Mexican silver. Great to use as a pendant. Measures 1.25inches/3.25cms.

This pin is enameled and rhinestone set into prong settings (all original settings). C-clasp. Great to upcycle or to wear. YUM! Measures .75inches/2cms.

Art Deco Inspired Locket--Gold Shell Antique 1930s Pinstriped Beauty

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:11:53 -0500

$36.00
This is a gentleman's locket worn on a watch chain in a bright brassy gold. Very art deco meets atomic design, so I'm thinking it must be a 1930-40s piece. Beautiful machine turned designs on the front. Absolutely great details, really clean on the front, with a few scratches. A bit of discoloration or plating wear on the back. The bail wiggles back and forth.

Opens at the bottom by pushing that small button in with your thumb. The center piece on the inside the piece where you insert pictures moves back and forth. There is potential for four photos to fit into this locket. One on the front cover, one on the back cover, and two outwardly facing in the center picture holder. There is a little bit of age spotting on the inside, which makes me think that this locket is in gold shell, but the base is brass.

A really great antique piece to wear or use in your designs! Measures 40mms, just over 1.5inches.

EXTRA Large Flower Lamp Hardware Antique Found Object in Brass

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 12:22:09 -0500

$6.00
This is a great find! Wonderful for those of you who love to make those cluster necklaces with all of those mod enamel flower brooches. Well this is brassier, more antique feel to it. I was told that this was from a lamp or chandelier from the 40-70s. I've seen these type pieces in older chandeliers and lamps, but they are more ornate and made of heavier brass. However, it makes since that a more modern piece would be lighter, more effiecient.

Anyway, this is very lightweight, malleable, drillable. Great for altered art, jewelry, even hats/fascinators! You could collage it onto something, or collage onto it! Really a great piece, I wish I had more!

Measures 3.5inches/9cms.

Two Frozen Charlies Japanese Bisque Fellows Sailor and Goat Herder

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 04:26:53 -0400

$15.00
I bought a box of bisque cuties, and these little guys need a home. One of them is a sailor--note the hat, sailboat in hand and bell-bottoms. The other is an Austrian goat herder--note the hat, lederhosen, and horn. They are both stamped Japan and have different serial numbers on them. The sailor boy is in better condition, but for their age (and being found in a box of other bisque figurines) they are in good condition. There are no chips, which is unusual, but lots of paint wear, especial on our Austrian goat herder. Circa 1930s. They measure 4inches/10cms.

So I don't know what the Victorians were thinking, I guess..."Let's make brooches that look like belt buckles!" I don't know. But they are very, very cute!

Fuschia Fabulous Bead and Finding Lot

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 02:57:29 -0400

$4.00
I bought these beads from a great Etsy supplier, because...well, who doesn't love SEQUINS! and the color fuschia, but really, they don't work with my point of view.

Four sequined beads. They are vintage--but not in the greatest of shape--the tops or ends, where the sequins are tied off look bald. However, if they are attached to a chain or other beads, your customers won't notice them. However, I am still discounting them severally. I paid 1.5$ a piece for these beads. Measure 23mm.
Seven magenta vintage hoops or circles. Connect them to chain, charms, or all together! Measure 21mm.

Five Bisque Figurines 1930-40s Marked Japan

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 04:28:57 -0400

$27.00
Five bisque figurines, all marked Japan on the back. Two dogs (one, the schnauzer, is glazed, the rest are "raw" bisque), a cute greenish yellow canary bird, a German looking fellow with a bowler hat, a dutch girl, and a begging dog. These would be GREAT for your art! The paint on these is a little chipped, but really, for their age--1930-40s, not that bad. These are all hollow and could be used as beads, if carefully punctured! The bowler hat boy is the tallest and measures 1.75inches/4.5cms.

24 Hot Pink Puckered Tulips in Vintage Lucite Translucent

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:14:01 -0400

$5.00
I always love working with flower beads, so I was excited to find these online. Sadly, they were pictured an entirely different color than what they actually are. They are a very bright hot pink, but at the same time they are translucent, so its hard to capture their color, but I've tried my best. If for any reason, if you receive them and you aren't happy with them, you can of course send them back. Measure 15mm long. Hole goes from base of flower (where the stem would be) to where the opening of the petals is. You'll get 24--which is all I have.

1940s American Flag Enamel and Engraved Art Deco Locket

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 15:53:55 -0400

$28.00
I bought this locket, and for a moment felt inspired--but then lost it once I brought it home. Eh, it happens. I hope it brings inspiration to you!

Its a great art deco 1940s rectangular locket in excellent working condition. It opens from the bottom by pushing in a little button to release the top part of the locket. You could fit four different pictures in here, if you would like, but sadly, the original cellulouid/plastic pieces have fallen out over time.

There is very minor scratching on the back, but nothing out of the ordinary for a piece of this age. The piece is rather shiny, as well, and I don't think the photo captures it. It has that matte shine of old gold filled jewelry from the first half of the 20th century.

Measures 1.5inches/4cms tall.
