28.00 USD

Vintage high-waisted 1940s bathing suit, this classic two-piece pin-up style swimsuit captures the style of an era. The cotton navy blue and pink plaid print is playful without being flashy.

The suit is well made but does not have a label. It was folded and stored for many years.


The top is in fair and fragile condition. It has a button closure back and two-button adjustable shoulder straps. It is missing one of the shoulder buttons and has several small tears on the front of each breast cup. The top's padded bra cups have lost their suppleness. Please look closely at the photographs. The bathing trunks have a back zipper and are in very good wearable condition.

The suit is freshly laundered.

Vintage Glasses Medicine Measuring Glasses Phospho Soda Fleet Advertising Premium by HappyFortuneVintage

16.00 USD

Vintage Phospho Soda measuring glasses of the older variety without the Fleet logo, would be a very interesting and humorous addition to any barware collection. The circa 1950s advertising glasses are in very good vintage condition with no chips or cracks and have bright red lettering with measuring lines and instructions.

I found these glasses in a basement covered with a thick layer of dust. I was able to clean the dust from one of the glasses without damaging the wonderful red lettering. On the other glass (the one on the right in the photographs), I opted to leave a little bit of dust as some of the red painted was beginning to flake off. I'll leave cleaning this glass to you, or leave it as is for an authentic vintage look.

Vintage Tap & Die Tools Metal Shapes Parts Steampunk Components Industrial Chic Machine Machinist by HappyFortuneVintage

15.00 USD

I didn't know what these were when I picked them up at an estate sale. They were in a dusty old tin in the garage. I found something about their shape very compelling, so I added them to my pile of treasures.

When I got home, I showed them to my husband who immediately identified them as old die tools from a tap & die kit. Machinists use such kits to cut & resize screw threads.

I think they are pretty cool. You can simply display them or repurpose them into some fantastic creation.

Two of the dies are marked "Handy." One is marked "G.T. & D. Corp." Three of them are marked "Start from this side."

Measurements: Five of the dies are just shy of 1" in diameter and approximately 5/16" deep. The small one is just over 3/4" in diameter and 1/4" deep.

Condition: The dies have been used and show wear and age.
