Flapper Bathing Beauties Photograph Postcards Vintage Swimsuit Sepia Photo Made in France -- 1920s Bathing Suits by HappyFortuneVintage

$

38.00 USD

Two flapper bathing beauties captured in sepia photograph postcards are evocative of an era when women didn't have to be emaciated to be considered beautiful. These women are gorgeous, partly because they have a few extra pounds on them by today's standard.

These are studio photographs. The women are wearing fashionable 1920s bathing suits. One woman wears a cap with small pompoms. The other woman wears a large scarf tied into a bow by her right ear.

One card is marked "660 E R Paris" the signature of Escarra of Rhone, a photography studio know for their "boudoir" cards. The other card is marked "Super 890." The cards are unused and in good vintage condition showing typical wear. The "E R" card has a very small blue dot to the left of the beauty. The corners are not all crisp. Each card is back stamped "Made in France" with several line guides for addresses.

Cards measure 5 3/4" x 3 1/2" each.

Cards will be sent to you in a KrystalSeal archival quality polypropylene protective sleeve.

I would consider selling the cards separately. Send me a message if you'd like to buy just one.

Gallagher's Restaurant -- Vintage Menu-- New York City Ephemera -- Culinary Food History - Paper Ephemera by HappyFortuneVintage

25.00 USD

Vintage Gallagher's lunch menu gives an interesting view into the culinary history of an old-fashion New York City steakhouse.

Originally open in 1926 as a speakeasy by Ziegfeld girl Helen Gallagher, the icon New York City steakhouse was a mainstay restaurant in the Theater District for 87 years. Closed in 2013, the restaurant recently reopened with a spruced up interior.

Word has it the new owners maintained the horseshoe-shaped bar and windowed meat locker as well as 100s of framed photographs of celebrities and sports figures. The graphic design of this vintage lunch menu showcases some of the legendary photographs. I believe this menu is from the 1970s, but it may be older.

The menu is in good condition with wear at the corners and around the edges, but no paper loss. There are a few spots on the front and on the back. Please take a good look at the photographs. The menu will come to you encased in an acid-free archival sleeve.

The menu measures 14" x 9 3/4."

I bought two wood-handled horse hair brushes at an estate sale recently and have discovered that a horsehair brush is the ideal tool to dust off a laptop computer. As I only need one brush, I am offering the other for sale.

The brush was once owned by a professional draftsman. The horse hair is in excellent and clean condition. The wood handle shows wear and has dings and scratches typical for a used tool. The handle is marked "Sterilized Hair Made in U.S. A.," & has a hole in it for a rope, making it easy to hang the brush near your desk for easy access.

Wood handle is approximately 14 1/4" long x 1" at its widest point. Horse hair brush area is approximately 9" long x 1 3/4" at this widest point.

Vintage Globe - Illuminated Glass World Globe - 10 Inch Replogle Precision Terrestrial Globe -- 1948 -- Gustav Brueckmann Cartographer by HappyFortuneVintage

225.00 USD

This vintage illuminated 10 inch Replogle Precision globe designed by Gustav Brueckmann captures the world's political boundaries during a time of great transition. Israel has been established (1948), yet Korea has not yet been divided into North & South (1948). Jordan is marked as Transjordan (1946 - 1948). Germany has not been divided into East and West (1949).

You'll find the political entities:
Anglo-Egyptian Sudan
Belgian Congo
Ceylon
Equatorial Africa
French West Africa
Indo-China
Northern Rhodesia/Southern Rhodesia/Bechuannland
Siam

What makes this vintage globe extra special is that it is glass. It is not made out of pasteboard. The glass orb is coated with paper gores which are in very good condition for a 65+ year-old globe. There is some minor paper loss which is most noticeable when the globe is illuminated.

The globe has a metal base and a half meridian which have a nice patina of age. The silver coating along the edge of the meridian has worn away. There is pitting on the base

The globe also has a night and day time dial at the North Pole.

I tested the light and it works. The cord appears to be original to the globe. You may want to have the electrical cord replaced as it is vintage any may not be up to current electrical standards. Please make sure you use a very very low wattage bulb in your globe.
