1, 2 I love you! A sweet little rhyme with a big message.

This beautiful black wooden Japanese soroban comes with its original presentation box. Made in Japan, the abacus was given as a gift back in 1960s.

40.00 USD

This transfer painted metal steel globe published by the J. Chein & Company, Burlington N.J. has very good detail for a "tin" child's globe. The globe has a plastic half meridian, time dial at the North Pole, and a gold metal octagon base.

The globe shows the world as is was in 1960-1961. Egypt & Syria are united as the United Arab Republic (1958 - 1961), but French Equatorial Africa is not present (1908 - 1959). "Belgian" has been dropped from the Congo (1960).

In very good condition for a 50+ year-old metal globe, the colors are bright and there are minimal signs of wear.

The globe has a 9" diameter, stands approximately 12" tall, measures 7" across the base, and has approximately a 28" circumference not including the meridian.

I recently acquired a small collection of globes and will be listing them in my shop over the next few weeks. In addition to this listing, I have the following globes currently in my shop:

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.

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.

French Literature Les Caves Du Vatican Andre Gide Le Livre de Poche The Vatican Cellars Modernist Fiction Gallimard Paris The Pope by HappyFortuneVintage

15.00 USD

Andre Gide's Les Caves Du Vatican (The Vatican Cellars), a French literature classic and an outstanding example of Modernist fiction, was first published in 1914 about the same time as the outbreak of WW I. Classified as a novel, Gide referred to his work as a "sotie," a form of parody or satirical play dating from the Middle Ages.

Yes, it's in French. And, yes, it contains irony.

This Le Livre de Poche (pocket book) edition published by Galliard is in very good to excellent condition. The spine is so tight, it's possible that this copy has never been read. Why not be the first. And, if you don't want to read it, display it. The cover art is just beautiful.

Les Caves Du Vatican
Le Livre de Poche, Gallimard, Paris, 1967
253 Pages
In French

Vintage Cole of California baby doll swimsuit, this circa 1960s pleated chiffon bathing suit is perfect for lounging by the pool.

The pleated top is light and airy and has a bra insert. The nylon bottom is more like a panty than a true swimsuit bottom. I don't believe this bathing suit was actually made for swimming but for sun bathing.

Please note that vintage clothing sizing various considerably from contemporary sizing. I would consider this bathing suit a "small." The suit is in good vintage condition.
