Antique vintage Iron flag holder - $32 incl. S&H

<-- Click image to left for more views.

While this flag pole holder only has one hole to screw it to a base, as you can see in one of the pictures, it's perfectly balanced to sit on a rail. There's old tar which makes me wonder if this may have mounted on a buggy or ship?

Vintage wooden nautical 'Chip Log' - brass, pine and lead - $55.00

<-- Click image to left for more pics
S&H included for US sales (all others contact us first)

Consider this a piece of art. Either hang it on a wall or set it on a shelf.

It took a bit of care to craft this pie wedge shaped measuring tool. While it's basically a string with a piece of brass on one end and a pie shaped piece of wood on the other, there's much more involved in its construction. The rounded edge of the wood is rimmed with lead. The string attaches to the point.

The arc of the wood is 1/8 section of a circle which matches the length of the side of the wood which is a radius of 6 1/4" long. As simple as that sounds, here's what went into making it: One side is parallel to the grain. since the opposite side would normally have end grain, someone went to the trouble to add a tapered piece about 3/8" at its thickest in order to eliminate the exposed end grain (kind of like bread-boarding). The rounded arc has a piece of lead folded over it, so that protects that end grain as well as adding weight. Someone went to a lot of trouble to keep this piece stable - less likely to warp or absorb water.
The string off the log-chip is attached to a piece of brass that may have one time been another part off a ship or boat. Two of the holes are threaded. How old it is, I can't say. The nails that fasten the lead to the wood are round headed, This makes me think it's most likely early 20th century, though I don't know when people stopped using these devices.

At first I thought it was a plumb bob, with the point on top, then I realized there are 2 small pieces of string on the bottom corners where it was also tied.After some searching online here's what I came up with. It's a chip log (also called a log-chip and a log-ship). The 'Chip Log' would have been attached to a reel of rope & used with a time measuring device. Rope had knots tied at equal distances along the reel. Sailors would throw the log-chip behind the ship and measure the speed as it unwound. By counting the number of knots that went overboard against the time, they could tell the ship's speed. In fact that is the origin of the nautical speed unit: the knot.



Vintage 1950s package with HoopLa Wire Flared & Bouffant Skirts - Skirt Hoop $29.00

<-- Click image to left for more pics
S&H included for US sales (all others contact us first)

Wonderful accessory for a 1950s style skirt. The package states: "ready to wear in a jiffy, cool, feather light, packs flat, with or without the petticoats - it flatters the silhouette". Made in Milford, Connecticut USA. No size is mentioned on the package.

This is definitely a fun item. I do not know how many wires there should be or how it should go together. Package measures approx. 13" square. Sold as is.



Vintage 1940s to 1950s Embroidered Blue Denim Gas Station long Jacket - Size 44 - $84.00

<-- Click image to left for more pics
S&H included for US sales (all others contact us first)
The label reads:
Star Mfg. Corp.
Yarick Ave. Bklyn, (Brooklyn) NY
Overall Uniform * Industrial Uniforms * Overalls
Sanforized Shrunk
Size 44

Ray is embroidered over front top left pocket. Embroidered on the back on 3 lines it says "Pines Service | Ray Labbee | Northampton Mass"

It looks like after Ray retired the jacket from the garage, he painted with it. The snaps and the belt buckle have rusted, 3 of the snaps still function. The other 2 tore off the jacket. The jacket has rust spots and holes. This workwear jacket has been broken in, so you won't have to do the heavy lifting. The jacket has 3 pockets as well as slits for reaching your hands to get into the pockets of inner clothing.



Antique Automobile Photograph Album (Deco) 1913 to 1959 - $189.00

<-- Click image to left for all the photos including closeup details.
S&H included for US sales (all others contact us first)
Dimensions: Cover: 15 1/2" X 11 1/2" - Pages: 15" X 11"
17 photo pages - 51 photos - A few of the photo pages are not shown, but all of the photos plus closeup details are provided.

Presumably this is a photo journal of one family's car ownership over a 46 year period. This family knew how to enjoy their cars. Camping and picnicking. Then there's the picture of 2 horses pulling the Overland in 1914 through the snowy mud. While they are standard pictures of the time, the photographer had a good eye and a steady hand (or tripod). With my consumer grade digital camera I was able to zoom in to get some license plate info and sometimes a closeup of some of the people. A scanner or a higher quality camera could glean even more out of these pictures.

There are also 3 or 4 pictures of cars from magazine or brochure that I'd guess were used because the person who assembled the album didn't have the corresponding picture for that particular car.



Antique Car Horn North East Electric Model XL Type 6102 - $84.95 includes S&H

Click image to left for more views.

I do not know if this works. I've seen it described online as a "vibrator horn". We cleaned it up some but it still could be cleaned up more. Some of what appears to be rust is dirt and grease. But there are a few spots where the paint is gone. We've owned this horn for over 30 years
The horn is 9" long. The overall length is 11 1/2" Not including the mount, the widest diameter is 5"

The plate says:
NorthEast Electric  Co | Rochester NY
Serial No. 426 | Model XL
Made in USA | Patents Pending
Type 6102 | 6 Volts | Adjusts

Antique Figural Textile: Woven Centaurs Table Runner from Perugia $175.00 incl. S&H

<-- Click image to left for different views of the table.

Antique Perugia (Perusia) Woven Table Runner (towel) with Centaurs

Probably linen and cotton. The side panels are a woven pattern of tiny diamond shapes around smaller diamonds. 61" long X 16 1/2" wide This piece is a wonderful example of Perugia weaving using centaurs for the figural motif. There is definitely a bit of whimsy in these characters. I suspect they're toasting each other - with flasks of foaming beers or goblets of wine. We believe this to be from the 19th century.

We hand washed this twice and got a little of the staining out, but because of the age of the cotton/linen fabric, we felt it best to leave the final cleaning to the experts. We feel that most of the stains should be removable by someone more knowledgeable than us.
There's one 1" section of the border edge that is threadbare near the upper left corner And the hem on the back on one end needs to be resewn and has a short tear within the hemmed area.

One of the characteristics that is common in Perugian weavings is that figures are mirrored and then repeated. Besides the centaurs that are done this way, above and below the centaur is the word Perusia (spelled with the 'S') which is also mirrored. Unfortunately the blue dye has faded and it has stains that hopefully, someone with skill might be able to clean. Perugia has a long history of artists and there are still weavers today in Perugia who carry on this art. We do not know the age of this runner. We believe this to be from the 19th century.

- Perugia is an ancient region in Umbria part of central Italy that was originally spelled Perusia
- The Metropolitan Museum of Art has on display several examples of Perugian textiles from the 16th century to the 19th century such as this towel http://www.metmuseum.org/collections/search-the-collections/120039249

1936 Treasury Dept. Opium / Coca Leaves Order Form - $17.00 includes S&H

This is a pharmacy / drug store duplicate for tax purposes in the sale of opium and or coca derivatives. This one was issued Dec. 2, 1936 from the Tilton Corner Pharmacy of Haverhill, Massachusetts.

Navy Submarine bell - electric - $81.00 includes S&H

Click image to left for more views.
We bought this bell when we lived in Groton CT, near the sub base in the 1970s. It reportedly came off a diesel sub, although I can't verify that. It is iron, with a very nice clear tone. The bell is 8" in diameter and it is approx. 5 1/4" deep. The following information is imprinted on the top.

Antique Pine Baby Sled Frame - $69.00 includes S&H;

Click image to left for more views.
This frame is made from 1/2" wide pine boards. It is 28" long, 15 1/2" wide, and 13 3/4" high. The back was cracked a long time ago, and was repaired with the 2 iron bars you see pictured. I would assume the 2 small pieces of wood that are visible at the back of this were the arms that held the handles. If this is the case, someone cut it a long while ago, because where it was cut has darkened with age. Also as you will note, there is no bottom.

This must have been a very sweet sled in its day. Even if left as is, it would make a great display for dolls or other small friends.



Forged Iron Buggy Step - $21.00 includes S&H

Click image to left for more views.
Need a step up? The step is 4 1/8" wide and 3 3/8" deep. The support bar is 19/5" long. It would bolt to the underside and the step protrudes enough to help climb up. Probably late 19th century.
Could be a conversation piece as a plant stand.



Antique Oriental Carved Panel: 2 Birds w/Blossoms - $95.00 includes S&H

Click image to left for more views.

This is a beautiful 2 sided relief carving. It's viewable from both sides, although there is less detail on the carved back side. As you can see there are pieces missing off the top and a few spaces in the middle as well. There are also 3 or 4 cracks that should be relatively easy to reglue. The carving on the flowers is a beautiful example of low relief carving and incorporates the feeling of real movement in the petals.
Dimensions: 18" high by 36" wide. A nice addition to any wall.

I have saved this for a long time, hoping I'd find time to do some minor restoration and then display it. It looks so nice, even incomplete. But now I'm pretty sure I won't find that time. There is a slight reveal inside the frame that could accept a piece of glass (or plexi) on either side if you wanted to display it with both sides showing.



Wizard Reciprocating Electric Fan -$47.00 includes S&H

Click image to left for more views.
Just in time for the summer? This "Wizard" reciprocating electric fan has a really cool streamline-shaped base and chromed accents, including a chrome vertical stripe in the front of the base which is not visible in the pictures. Even the control knob has a rocket futuristic look to it. This is being sold as is. There is no chord. There is also a screw missing on the bottom. The picture of the bottom also shows how it was designed to be wall mounted as well as sitting on a table top.
It is also hard to see in these photos the word "Wizard on the center of the cage, or the information that is on the base - which says, "Wizard 105-120V 55W Model 45K - 60 cycles Bersted Mfg. Co. Fostoria Ohio Oakville Ont. Canada.
DIMENSIONS: 15 1/4" tall - The diameter of the cage is 13 1/2" - The Fan blades measure 12" end to end.

Cordless Stereo Headphones
Never used. We took these out of the box when they were given to us brand new. We never set them up. Just put them back in the box and stuck them in the closet till we had a good place to use them. As you might guess, that never happened. That could easily have been over 20 years ago.
