German Tinnie -- Vintage Pin -- Heart Bavarian Folk Art - Heart Shaped Pin - Valentine's Day Gift by HappyFortuneVintage

0
0

28.00 USD

Heart-shaped pressed cardboard pin with a kissing couple dressed in traditional German Bavarian costume, this tinnie was most likely given away at a local event or festival somewhere in Germany sometime prior to World War II.

I wasn't sure what this was when I found it at an estate sale, but I thought the kissing couple was so charming. After much research, I found information on a German solidarity propaganda pin from 1935 with a similar cardboard composition. The article referred to the pin as a "tinnie." Tinnies, which were usually made of metal, were popular in pre-World War II Germany and frequently distributed at public events, festival, and political rallies.

The cardboard has one ding in it on the right side by the gentleman's ankle, but over all, the tinnie is in remarkably good condition. The silky floral-patterned ribbon which connects to an old-fashioned safety pin, is bright and vibrant. There is also a short length of tartan ribbon tied in a bow at the base of the cardboard heart.

Cardboard Heart measures 3 1/8"
5 1/2" Total length including the ribbons.

Comes in a decorative gift box ready for giving.

Winter Wonderland of Love

Set in Caslon 471 bold, this vintage typeface font specimen sheet can be framed as a picture, cut for a banner, used in scrapbooking, or other arts & crafts projects.

This loose-leaf letter sample sheet from Comp/Type Inc's 1970 Photo Lettering Photo Composition Catalog is a cool example of a retro typesetting sample dating back to a time when graphic artists actually cut and pasted type fonts on paper.

The reverse side of the sheet has a rather odd phrase "buy a poor person today." Researching the phrase did not yield any clues to its origin or what it might possibly mean.


Measurements: 8 1/2" x 11"

Condition: Loose-leaf sheet is in very good vintage condition.

I have an entire loose-leaf binder of type fonts and awesome phrases and will be posting them in my shop. If you're looking for a particular font or hip 1970s phrase, send me a message and I'll check to see if it's in the binder.

750.00 USD

Vintage art poster from the Cold War era, this striking image by I. Spreekmeester (aka Isidore Leonard Spreekmeester) was a fifth place winner in the Intra-European Cooperation for a Better Standard of Living 1950 poster contest sponsored by the European Recovery Program (ERP), more popularly known as the Marshall Plan.

Spreekmeester (1914 - 2000) was a well known Dutch magazine illustrator, the author of several children's books, and a courtroom artist for the NOS broadcasting company.

The European Recovery Plan (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 12 graphic artists, one from each of the countries benefiting from the Marshall Plan, 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 excellent vintage condition with just some minor wear at around the edges. The poster has been stored flat and will ship flat.

Pysanky Egg - Vintage Easter Egg -- Ukrainian Folk Art - Black Green Orange - Spring by HappyFortuneVintage

22.00 USD

Vintage Ukrainian pysanky Easter egg with a hand painted design is a masterpiece of folk art.

I recently came across a dozen pysanky at an estate sale. Each one is different. And, each one was individually hand painted. They are amazing!

Made from a real chicken egg, this pysanky dates from the late 1960s - early 1970s. The inside of the egg was not blown out. I was told by the woman I bought the pysanky from (niece of the woman who made them), to handle it gently, because if the shell cracks, it will smell strongly of sulfur.

The pysanky is in very good condition.

Measurements: Approximately 2 1/2" x 2"

Hazel Atlas Beater Jar Depression Glass Bowl Measuring Cup -- 2 Cup Measure -- Country Kitchen by HappyFortuneVintage

0

25.00 USD

Do you know what this is? It's a Hazel Atlas glass Depression era 16 oz 2 cup beater jar circa 1920s. At one time it was most likely paired with an A & J egg beater that got lost along the way. Hazel Atlas patented the jar design in 1923.

You don't need the beater to make this bowl a functional tool in your kitchen. Use it to measure flour when you bake, to mix scrambled eggs, or store berries in the refrigerator. The bowl has graduated measures for cups, pints, and ounces. It's stamped on the bottom with the Hazel Atlas mark and shows surprisingly minor wear for an approximately 85-year-old bowl. There are a few small nicks around the rim. Nothing major, nothing sharp.

Dimensions:
4 1/4" Tall
4 5/8" Top Circumference
3" Bottom Circumference
2 Cup; 16 oz.; 1 pint Capacity

Candy not included!
