Vintage metal plaid Scotch tape dispensers hold green, red, & gold Christmas holiday gift tape. Dubbed a "humble masterpiece" by the New York Museum of Modern Art, the Scotch tape dispenser truly is an awesome design.

These vintage Scotch tape dispensers date from the 1950s. In addition to the Scotch tape hallmark tartan plaid, the two of the dispensers have a decorative star motif. The dispensers are in excellent shape, and after approximately 60 years, the tape remains sticky to the touch.

The dispensers are marked "Minnesota Mining Co." which eventually came to be known as 3M.

Each dispenser is approximately 2 5/8" long x 1 5/8" x 5/8" deep.

The dispensers are in excellent shape. It's amazing that after approximately 60 years, the tape remains sticky to the touch although it does not hold well. The dispensers are for display as the tape integrity has degraded over the years.

In 1941, Jack Goldberg won this 3rd place silver medal most likely for his musical ability as the prize has a Greek lyre on it. Today, this Art Deco collegiate award would make a cool conversation piece pinned onto a jacket or coat.

The prize medal looks as if it was never removed from its velvet display board. It has the letters "EE" set in blue enamel which could possibly represent the letters of fraternity or academic society.

Condition: The medal is in very good vintage condition. It does have some tarnish mostly on the jump ring connecting the medal to the ribbon.

Measurements: Display board measures 3 1/2" x 2 1/4". The medal measures 1" x 3/4" not including the ribbon section.

Adorable vintage copper vase in the shape of an ancient amphora, use this tiny vessel to display some pretty little posies. My imagination sees the miniature vase filled with violets.

Not exactly sure of the dating or provence of this small amphora. Bought at an estate sale, the story was that it was a tourist souvenir brought home sometime in the 1960s from Italy or Greece.

Condition: Vase is in good condition. The copper has a nice patina. There is a tiny spot of verdigris near one of the handles.

Measurements: 1 1/2" tall x 2 3/4' wide including handles.

This amazing vintage 1970s printed burlap textile remnant is so fantastic! The orange positively glows in contrast to the shades of brown. Although it is not a wall hanging, per se, I think it would make a dynamic one hanging vertically with the selvage edges at the top and bottom. The fabric could also be used in small craft or sewing projects.

Condition: The fabric remnant is in very good condition. There is one small tear in the fabric which is not very noticeable. Please see the four photograph.

Measurements: 55 1/2" including selvedge edge x approximately 21 1/2"
