3 Vintage Drafting Compass Tools - Teledyne Post, Tower, Fulton

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:02:52 -0500

$15.00
This is a set of three vintage drafting compass instruments. I am not a technical draftsman, so I will describe these to the best of my ability - please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Please see pictures for actual items and condition. The three all show patina, but the teledyne post is actually quite shiny.

These would be great as props, pieces for styling a photo shoot or just additions to your collection of interesting drawing tools. Items included are as follows:

* Teledyne Post, made in Japan, appears to be stainless steel. It has the stylus but is missing one screw and a marking lead. The initials TAW are etched into the top piece.
* Tower, made in Germany. It has the stylus but is missing a marking lead.
* Fulton, made in U.S.A. has the stylus built in but is missing the marking tool part.

Hand-embroidered neon pink altered vintage blouse - Yellow Tulip

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:58:47 -0400

$47.00
This shirt was amazing. The blinding brightness of the neon pink cannot be accurately represented on a monitor. However it was missing something...after adding a yellow tulip, it was complete.

The tulip is full coverage embroidery - I embroidered the tulip by hand, the stitches meaning to mimic the lines of filling in a drawing in a coloring book.

The shirt itself is circa the 1960s or 1970s. There is no label, tag or size on this shirt. As it fits my model who wears a small, I'll call it a small, however with these measurements it could be a smaller medium. The puff sleeves have three button closure at the extra long cuffs. This blouse zips up the back with hook & eye closure at the neck. The collar can be worn up for a turtleneck or down for a mandarin collar. It is woven crepe man-made fabric with no stretch, so you should check the measurements against your own.

It measures in inches:
waist (around): 33"
hem/hips (around): 38"
bust (around, measured from armpit): 38"
bust (around, measured from dart, 2" below armpit): 37"
sleeve from inner top of shoulder to wrist hem: 20.5"
length from bottom of collar to bottom hem: 38"
length from bottom of collar to waist seam: 19.75"
collar (around, laid flat): 16"
collar height (unfolded): 3.75"
wrist (around): 8.5"
