Use this high-quality vintage blue red & yellow plaid fabric in your next sewing project.

Maren is the last name of one of the Wizard of Oz Lollipop Guild Munchkins from the 1939 film. Could there possibly be a link?

Fabric is over 10' (feet) long. It is 57" wide.

45.00 USD

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax…" Lewis Carol, The Walrus and The Carpenter

Talking of sealing wax, this antique box holds a pound of it -- 3 sticks of Dennison's No. 4 Express Red and 1 stick of Higgins No. 2 American Express Sealing Wax. The sticks are just over 10 1/2" long and impressed with their brand, wax grade number and "Made in U.S.A."

Talking of wax grading… The American Express company began as a banking courier service. To ensure that important documents, cash, & stock certificates etc would not be opened before reaching their addressed recipients, packages were secured with sealing wax and official stamps.

The Dennison Manufacturing Company based in Farmingham, Massachusetts produced 12 distinct grades of sealing wax. Researching Dennison advertisements for sealing wax dates this package to circa 1900 - 1910.

Finding 4 good examples of red bankers sealing wax is quite rare. The wax sticks have cracks but have not been used, and appear to be intact, not in pieces. The box comes from the estate of person who collected vintage and antique office supplies. The former owner encased the sealing wax and original box in shrink wrap. The box shows shelf wear including a tear and staining on the top. The side of the box is labeled "1 pound No. 4 Dennison's Sealing Wax 4 Sticks -- Express Red Dennison Manufacturing Co, Farmington, Mass., U.S.A."

Box measures 11" x 3" x 3/4".

24.00 USD

First edition of E. Stanley Jones's Christian inspirational classic Abundant Living, this ex-library copy has an inscription to its former owner, Blanche. Although the dust jacket is chipped along the edges and the bottom of the spine is bumped, it doesn't appear as though the members of the Jacob A. Cole Circulating Library of Park Methodist Church or Blanche spent much time reading this book. The pages are clean and crisp and the binding is tight.

Confidant to Franklin D. Roosevelt, creator of the Christian Ashram movement, respected by Mahatma Gandhi and Nehru, nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, E. Stanley Jones was truly an amazing person. A deeply devout Christian, yet open to the broader world of other faiths and ideas, Jones was a Methodist minister and missionary who spent decades in India.

Vintage Tap & Die Tools Metal Shapes Parts Steampunk Components Industrial Chic Machine Machinist by HappyFortuneVintage

18.00 USD

I didn't know what these were when I picked them up at an estate sale. They were in a dusty old tin in the garage. I found something about their shape very compelling, so I added them to my pile of treasures.

When I got home, I showed them to my husband who immediately identified them as old die tools from a tap & die kit. Machinists use such kits to cut & resize screw threads.

I think they are pretty cool. You can simply display them or repurpose them into some fantastic creation.

Two of the dies are marked "Handy." One is marked "G.T. & D. Corp." Three of them are marked "Start from this side."

Five of the dies are just shy of 1" in diameter and approximately 5/16" deep. The small one is just over 3/4" in diameter and 1/4" deep.

The dies have been used and show wear and age.
