25.00 USD

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. It reminds me of a stain glass panel.

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.

45.00 USD

Oh dear, this moose is so cute. I couldn't resist picking him up at a recent estate sale despite his flaws. Made by Copr Ornamental Arts & Crafts, this chalkware moose figurine is amazingly detailed, and would be the perfect accent for your rustic home decor or man cave retreat.

I couldn't find much information on Copr Ornamental. They were known for making chalkware TV lamps in the 1950s.

The moose is in fair vintage condition. It looks as if his head has been repaired. He is missing a portion of his surrounding forest vignette (please see photograph three). There is some paint loss and nicks. The back of the piece is flat and could easily be incorporated into a new work of moose art.

Piece measures approximately 9" long x 6 3/4" tall x 3 1/4" deep. It is impressed along the upper back edge "Copr Ornamental Arts & Crafts."

88.00 USD

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.

A member of the N.J. State Building and Construction Trades Council attended the labor union's 71st annual convention at the Shelburne Hotel in Atlantic City in 1975 and brought home his delegate badge, stashed it in a drawer and forgot about it.
