Pink Gloves - Vintage Knit Gloves - Retro Knitted Accessory - Fringe by HappyFortuneVintage

0
0

14.95 USD

Mod pink gloves with fringe, picture them worn with a groovy retro mini skirt and boots. These circa 1960s light-weight knit gloves are the perfect vintage accessory for the first chill of fall. The bit of fringe adds to their retro charm.

The gloves do not have a content label. From the feel of them, I'd say they were knitted from acrylic yarn.

There is no size label. I'd say they are a small. Gloves are in good condition.

Gloves measure 8" from the tip of the longest finger (middle) to the end of the cuff, and are 3" wide across the palm at the bottom of the thumb.

Travel Wallet - Travel Organizer - Vintage Leather Wallet - St. Thomas Cowhide - Passport Holder - Terra Cotta Pink by HappyFortuneVintage

18.00 USD

Vintage leather travel wallet organizer has compartments for all the necessary documents a 1960s world traveller would need to carry. Each section is labeled in gold letters. You'll find slots for your passport, airline tickets, landing cards, luggage check, currency, rail tickets, and credit cards.

The wallet has a smooth leather finish and is a beautiful shade of terra cotta or salmon. My eye sees more orange in the color than pink. The interior has "St. Thomas Cowhide" in gold lettering.

The wallet is in good vintage condition. It has some wear on the exterior on the corners and the bottom of the spine. Two stitches in the leather are torn at the top of the passport section. The wallet snaps securely shut. There is half of a snap closure element inside the wallet on the currency side at the top (see photographs 2 & 3) which does not seem to correspond to anything else on the case. I suspect at one time the wallet had an accessory that snapped into this location. This accessory is no longer present.

Wallet measures 7 1/4" x 4 1/2" when closed and approximately 7 1/4" x 8 3/4" open.

45.00 USD

Neely's Parliamentary Practice is an historically significant vintage law book outlining government and organizational procedures or rules or order. Starting with a detailed definition of a parliamentary body, the book gives succinct guidance on parliamentary assembly, procedure, questions, precedence, committees and commissions, meetings, laws, business, rights, duties, and powers. The book also includes a section on parliamentary practice in ecclesiastical organizations.

The contents of Bishop Thomas B. Neely's small book of parliamentary rules is important enough to warrant availably in digital e-book format. But why not own a physical copy of the original 1914 edition?

The slender volume is in very good condition for an 100-year-old book. The red clothbound cover has a lovely art nouveau floral decoration on the cover. The author's name and book title are gold leafed on the cover and spine. The corners show typical wear around the edges. Several of the front pages look as if they had been paper clipped together at one point as you can see the clip imprint in the paper. Pages are clean. Binding is tight.

The book comes with a typed copy of a "Summary of Robert's Rule of Order" that I found tucked inside the volume.

The book would make a great gift for a lawyer or government official.

0
0

18.00 USD

I almost passed on this vintage gold-tone metal powder compact but something about its cool purse-shape on a chain compelled me to pick it up despite its flaws.

The compact is sturdy & has some heft to it.

The compact would look great as a display piece by itself or in a grouping.

The compact could also serve as the base for your art. I've seen these old compact used as a canvas for new art.

Condition: Metal shows its age and has a nice patina of age. It has spots, discoloration, a very faint red mark, a ding on one side, and small dent along the top. The clasp closes securely but is missing a decorative element on one side. Inside, the hinged lid to the powder section does not stay shut, the mirror shows wear and has a small crack at the very edge of the bottom left-hand side corner.

Measurements: Approximately 3" at its widest point x 2 1/4" x 3/4" closed.

65.00 USD

Women At Work, a World War II era home front propaganda pamphlet issued by U.S.O Division National Board Y.W.C.A. in 1943, has amazing illustrations by Henrietta Wireman and a society-changing message.

Part manifesto, part political propaganda, this small brochure defines the new modern American woman born out of wartime necessity. This pamphlet is a clear precursor to the ideology of the American Women's Movement.

The brochure states the kinds of work women are doing:
"We are:
Clerks
Typists
Welders
Inspectors
Assemblers
Waitresses
Riveters……."

There are references to the laws that protect women workers, as well as the need to expand those laws to cover all working woman.
"We need to keep our umbrella from leaking….and to bring under it other 'Woman at Work.'"

There is a page devoted to shift workers, defining the different shifts & what they need to work safely.

The "Women Away From Work" centerfold outlines various activities a working woman could engage in during off hours, and encourages women "When the Whistle Blows We Made a Bee Line to the USO."

A page of the pamphlet is devoted to other reading materials available through the USO concerning women and work.

Also packed into this small booklet is advise on men and relationships, staying informed about the world, & planing for post-war America.
"Experts say there can be jobs for all -- regardless of sex or race."

The booklet has amazing illustrations including working women in slacks taking public transportation to work & a women riveting an airplane propeller.

This is a little gem of a war time pamphlet. It's in overall good condition for its age. The booklet has a one-staple binding. The staple is present, but it is rusted and does not hold the pamphlet together. The paper around the staple has rust marks. There are some spots on the cover.

The pamphlet measures 5 5/8" x 4 1/4" and consists of three folded sheets of heavy paper -- 10 pages plus the front & back cover.

A Great Britain entry in the European Recovery Program (ERP) Marshall Plan's Intra-European Cooperation for a Better Standard of Living 1950 poster contest, this striking graphic suggests that cooperation is the key to post-World War II economic development and prosperity.

The ERP or Marshall Plan (1948 - 1951), conceived by George C. Marshall, Army Chief of Staff during WW II & Truman's Secretary of State, sought to politically stabilize & rebuild the economies of war-torn European countries while hindering the spread of Communism.

A panel of graphic artists selected 25 winning posters from over 10,000 entries. The posters are graphically stunning pieces of political propaganda and historically interesting bits of ephemera from the early Cold War era.

The poster is an original poster, not a reproduction. The poster is in very good vintage condition with just some wear at around the edges.

Vintage Cunard White Star R.M.S. Queen Mary Vintage Cruise Menu June 4, 1936 - Culinary History - Ocean Liner Menu - Dame Laura Knight by HappyFortuneVintage

0
0

65.00 USD

This vintage Cunard White Star R.M.S. Queen Mary ocean liner menu is a bit of a curiosity. It is dated June 4, 1936. The Queen Mary sailed westbound to New York on her maiden voyage on May 27, 1936 arriving in New York on June 1st. The luxury cruise ship departed New York for its maiden eastbound voyage on June 5th arriving in Cherbourg on June 10th.

So, this menu is from the ship's time in the port of New York during her maiden voyage.

Launched at the heyday of transatlantic ocean liner travel, Cunard White Star R.M.S. Queen Mary was considered the most luxurious of vessels. It had two indoor swimming pools, beauty salons, libraries, children's nurseries for each class of travel, a lecture hall, a music studio, dog kennels, telephone access, and a Jewish prayer room -- a policy decision to show the world that Cunard was against the Jewish racism of Nazi Germany.

The luxury ocean liner was retro-fitted for military use during World War II. Painted gray, the shipped was nicknamed the "Grey Ghost" and carried over 15,000 troops per voyage during her commission as a troopship.

The menu's cover has a reproduction of an original circus scene painting by Dame Laura Knight commissioned for a private dining room on the ocean liner. The menu features fine wines to accompany each course.

The menu is in good vintage condition. There are black marks on the front, inside, and on the back which look to be from the printing process. The edges show wear. There is slight fading to the front cover, most noticeable on the fold side. The menu is marked on the back "Q. C. D. 3. Printed in England A. 2563."

Menu measures approximately 13 1/2" x 8 1/2" closed.

I have three additional Queen Mary voyage menus dating from November 1936 that I will be listing in my shop very soon. Send me a message if you are interested these menus.
