Vintage miniature Japanese koi hand-carved from rosewood, these intricate wood goldfish have beady glass eyes and intricate tail fins.

Koi, or goldfish, are thought to bring good luck. Triple yours with these charming carved figurines.

The koi are in good condition. Two koi have lost one eye each. There is some minor chipping of their fabulously carved wooden tail fins which does not detract from their charm. The fish date from at least the 1950s and perhaps a bit earlier.

Each koi measures approximately 2 3/4" x 1 5/8 at the widest point on their tails.

I don't often use the work gorgeous to describe a plastic object, but this vintage Art Deco era bakelite box is just that -- gorgeous. The black base has a red hinged-lidded top. It was most likely a jewelry or watch box, or possibly a nail polish box as it is very similar to those produced by the Lady Lillian Company.

This is a cool collectible Art Deco box that would look good in a grouping or on its own.

The box is in very good vintage condition showing minor signs of wear. It has no chips and no cracks. Box measures approximately 6" long x 3 1/8" deep x 2" at the height of the arc. The interior measures approximately 4" x 2 3/4" x 3/4" The box is stamped "Made in U.S.A." on the bottom.

I found this amazing U.S. Army issue Christmas Card at a used book sale in a bin of miscellaneous correspondence circa 1950s-1960s. Look closely and you will see the soldier in the drawing is looking down on a nativity scene of Mary, Joseph, & Baby Jesus under the Star of Bethlehem. The card was sent from the Marne Division.

The 3rd Infantry, also known as the Marne Division and the Rock of the Marne, was stationed in Germany during the Cold War, the time from which this card dates. This much decorated U.S. Army unit has an illustrious military history going back to WW I.

The soldier wrote his holiday message on the back of the greeting card.
