Light as meringue, this circa 1960s sheer chiffon vintage scarf has amazing pleating across the entire fabric. The color changes from white in the center to a mere hint of yellow to a deeper yellow at the edges. The combination of color graduation, sheerness, and pleating blend into a very textural and unusual scarf.

In good vintage condition, the flaws do not detract from the grace and glamor of this scarf. The fragile fabric does show wear, there is a small section where the pleating has relaxed, there is some thread separation, but no tears, and two small barely noticeable spots.

There is no tag on the scarf. By the feel of it, it'd say it's nylon.

Dimensions: 25" Square

Two cool cocktail seafood forks circa 1939, in International Silver's Embassy pattern, also known as Bouquet, will give a classy vintage touch to any table setting.

I've given the forks a rudimentary polishing. The forks show usual wear for utensils this old. I suspect the silver plating has rubbed off in some spots. Still, the forks are very usable and charming. The art deco design is just wonderful.

Here's a little bit of mid-century childhood nostalgia, a bronze baby shoe. Proud parents throughout America captured a moment in their growing children's lives by bronzing the shoes in which they took their first steps.

This funky little piece of personal history would look great in a child's nursery or playroom or displayed on a bookcase.

Long ago, someone typed out the name "Marshall" on a small slip of paper and taped it to the bottom of the shoe. If desired, the name could be removed.

In the early 20th-century countless American teenagers learned their history lessons from The Story of the Ancient Nations: A Text-Book For High Schools by William L. Westermann. Published in 1912 by D. Appleton and Company, The Story of Ancient Nations was the standard history textbook in high schools across the nation.

Once belonging to Eliza Mary Martin of Mexico, Montana, who carefully wrote her name, address, high school, and teacher's name in script on the inside cover, this copy shows wear, but that just adds to its charm. There is shelf wear to the top and bottom edges and what appears to be an ink stain on the spine. The pages are in good condition with foxing typical of a book this age. The spine is beginning to loosen, but is not broken. There are some owner notations.

The textbook is packed with wonderful illustrations from a sketch of an "Egyptian Bartering a Necklace for Onions" to a mosaic of King Charlemagne. There are several fabulous full-page colored maps.

Vintage crochet blue & white afghan blanket throw handmade in the 1970s is just the right touch for your retro decor.

I found this afghan in a bin with two others at an estate sale at a home that was frozen in time circa 1975. Everyone else was going crazy over the glassware but I realized right away that this blanket was an exceptional example of a simple crochet shell stitch pattern. Even more remarkable, it's in amazing condition. No holes, tears, pulls, or unraveling. In shades of blue and white, the colors bring the ocean to mind.

Handmade vintage textiles remind me of the continuity between generations. Forty years or so ago, someone took the time to make a blanket for her family. She most likely learned the stitch she used to make the afghan from her mother or grandmother, who learned the stitch from her mother, and on it goes back into history. Crochet is an ancient art and this afghan is a fine 1970s example of that art.

The afghan has been laundered and is ready for use.

Contents: 100% Acrylic Yarn
Care: Machine wash in delicate cycle with mild soap. When I washed it, I laid it flat and let it partially dry, then put it in the dryer on low. You could probably put it straight into the dryer, just make sure it's on low.

Dimensions: 58" x 36"
