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

"Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil," this ancient pictorial maxim is beautifully rendered in this vintage soapstone carving.

An ancient concept of wisdom dating from before Confucius, this classic set of three wise monkeys is based on the 17th century carving over a door of the Tōshō-gū shrine in Nikkō, Japan. Referred to as san'en or sanzaru in Japan, Kikazaru covering his ears hears no evil, Mizaru covering his eyes sees no evil, and Iwazaru covering his mouth speaks no evil.

Condition: The figurine is in very good condition. As it is carved from stone, there are natural "imperfections" in the rock and color variations. Please look closely at the photographs.

This delightful and very rare postcard painting book, By Flowery Ways, produced by Raphael Tuck & Sons circa 1900s, presents various chromolithography postcards with accompanying sketches for the budding artist to color in--sort of like a Victorian ladies coloring book. Very sweet, the booklet is in fantastic shape for its age. There are 8 floral postcards in the booklet, 4 are signed "M. Morris."

What makes this postcard book extra special are the the signed (Catharina) Catherine Klein postcard reproductions on the front and back covers. From her Berlin studio, Catherine Klein painted the finest floral-themed and still life images. An independent woman (very rare for her time), and a commercial and artistic success, her work was widely used on printed items such as postcards and calendars.

The legendary firm of RaphaelTuck & Sons produced high-quality art prints and postcards from 1866 into the 20th Century. Prussian immigrants to England, Raphael, artistic director, and his business-saavy wife Ernestine started their printing empire in London. By 1883, they where granted the Royal Warrant of Appointment by Queen Victoria, and had established branches in Paris, New York, Berlin, and Montreal.

Some foxing, two sketches are partially colored in, and one sketch is missing.

Steel City Gem Paper Clips circa 1970s, 100 count, No. 1 in original packaging. Made in Pittsburgh, PA by I. & M. Sufrin, which ceased production in the early 1980s. Haven't counted them, but the box looks full or very close to it. Bonus green thumb tack in the box.

What's makes this box of paper clips so special? Take a look at photographs 2 and 4. Most of the clips in this box are copper colored. I suspect they are copper-toned steel not solid copper.

The box shows wear and is torn and chipped at the right hand corner cover. Red pen mark on front of box. Very cool Pittsburgh industrial skyline design on box.

Dimensions: 3" x 1 7/8" x 1"

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"
