July's Fourth Haul of Antiques and Untiques

Our latest collection of thoroughly awesome awesomeness, AND...

of course, there's more coming.

Here we go!

       We be having BRONZE!   SOLD

Only wish I could have gotten a better picture of this beauty. Alas, the minute I take the camera outside, humidity fogs up the lens.

========================================================================

1960s pens scented with Arpege and Chanel No. 5, AND with 14k gold filigree on the barrels. SOLD

I googled these, and every pair I found online had the same problem these pens have, i.e. they need the ink holder thingie replaced.  The upside, they still smell nice.  And the gold.

=======================================================================

 Somewhat later in the 1960s/early 70s   SOLD

free-form blue milk glass vase.

This is another sub-par photo.  The blue is much brighter in person than what you see here.

=======================================================================

English bone china is in the house!

cup, saucer, cake plate.  (Or sandwich plate, but I prefer cake.  Thanks.)

=======================================================================

       Now here's something super-special:   SOLD

pink and white slag glass toothpick holder

========================================================================

      Let's take a trip!   SOLD

to Alaska in the 1950s !!!

So fun!!!

=====================================================================

That's all for today.

July's - and earlier - ties

You may be wondering why I don't post ties anymore.

One simple reason, to wit, some complete and total nitwit at Zazzle had the idea to turn this: 

to this:

Not to be vulgar, but WTF????  

The alternative is nearly as bad:

Does the above give you a good look at the print?

No it does not.

For EVERY tie on Zazzle, the alternatives are the rolled version, the blurry-ish full version, or the blurry-ish full version being worn by some dude.

I'm guessing the number of neckties being sold on Zazzle has plummeted.

I complained, but all I got was 'We'll pass your comment along.'

The Star Made Me Buy It

Last week I made an little note about Dinah Shore.
