45.95 USD

Three volumes from Britain in Pictures book series have decorative covers, color art plates, and numerous black and white illustrations. The attractive book set would make a great gift for an Anglophile, or unique decor accent in an English themed interior design scheme.

Launched in 1941 by Collins (now HarperCollins) when Europe was in the throes of World War II and the battle against the Germans was looking pretty grim, the Britain in Pictures series was a morale booster and reminder of what England was fighting for. Contributors to the series included George Orwell, Graham Greene, and Edith Sitwell. The series proved so popular that volumes continued to be published into 1949, with many volumes going into multiple printings. Book topics included such diverse subjects as boxing, birds, engineering, English farming, and British scientists.

The books are in overall good condition. The dust jackets are torn and worn around the edges with chipping on the spines, but they served their purpose and protected the decorative hardcover bindings. Pages are lightly tanned with age. The English Bible has a previous owner's name (Roland Edwards) and the date "F 16/2/45" written in blue ink on the front right-handside endpaper, "F 16/2/45" written in red on the front dust jacket flap, and some notations in red pencil.

This vintage book bundle includes three (3) volumes:

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 has nice patina of age and cool industrial look. Hang it on the wall as a decor element when not in use.

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.
