New
listing! Pretty in pink, enjoy this nice set of 3 hand crochet glass
cozies which slide neatly around these included glasses and really
evoke the look of the fifties. They are bordered on the top and
bottom for a little design flair, and we love the pink color with
the white trim. The needlework is very well done, and all 3 are
in very good condition and measure approximately 4.0" high
and 3.5" in diameter. The 3 glasses are included with your
purchase, standing 5.5" high and going well with the pink glass
covers. These are hard to find in good condition and won't last
long, right off the table of a Ft. Lauderdale, FL waterfront condo.

New
listing! Terrific 1960s Power Gem Saturn lamp that is a must have
for any collector of mid-century modern design and the influence
of the space program. The lamp operates in various modes by pushing
buttons on the base, operating in low and high power settings of
red, green, and amber light. The colored lights look amazing reflecting
off the wall particularly in a darkened room, and the saturn ring
continuously turns just like the rings on Saturn to deflect the
light in different ways. Best of all, the lamp base has a speaker,
and the lights will react- flashing on and off- based on voices
it hears. As such, the lamp will flash in timing with your speech
if you are talking nearby and the speaker picks it up. Guaranteed
to amaze and astound your friends who will want to know what's going
on. The approximately 19.0" high and 10" in diameter (not
including the outer ring) lamp is made of plastic resin and in very
good condition, featuring a black base color and clear angled areas
to reflect the light out in many different ways. In the center of
the base is the Power Gem mark- classic 20th century design! Cross
listed on Lamps 1. |

Set
of 8 fifties / sixties mid-century hand blown amber swirl pattern
glasses, an eye catching design and quirky in that there are subtle
variations in size and height as a result of being each individually
hand blown. These goblets make for a great look and have styling
as in place today as in the 50s. They range in height from approximately
6.75" to 7.25", and the diameters of the top opening vary a bit
as well but are approximately 4.0" - 4.25". The entire set of 8
is in very good condition, and each has an unpolished pontil from
the glassmaking process on the bottom. |

You
could have bought them for $2.98 back in the 1950s, but you sure
won't find mint condition 1950s sunglasses and matching clip-on
visor case in fab fifties designs at that price today - although
they're still quite an affordable and fun accessory. Take your pick
of two retro Merit designs or buy them both; each comes in the original
clip-on car sun visor case and warranty certificate. Even though
sunglasses don't come with that kind of case today, the staff here
feels it was a good design idea and are all trying to figure out
how to put clips on their own sunglasses case. These were manufactured
by the Merit Manufacturing Company of Central Falls, RI and were
heavily advertised during the period in Life Magazine. Note the
open gap in some of the side ear bars to give them just a little
added design flair. The frames are made of plastic, somewhat flexible
so they can be bent into shape to some degree but not rigid like
modern sunglasses; fit adjustments may be needed. They come with
the original warranty that notes they are "manufactured for
optical safety and construction and the lens are precision cut and
processed and certified to be of the finest quality." The sunglasses
measure approximately 5.5" wide at the lens, and the ear bars
measure approximately 5.5" long. The visor clip-on plastic
case measures approximately 6.0" wide, 3.0" high, and
1.0" deep. Each pair of sunglasses is in mint condition and
has the original Merit red and gold seal on the lens noting the
original $2.98 price, "6 Base Hardened Lens" and that
it "Conforms to Conn SG 40". We just love the design of
these, sure to generate complements and questions wherever you wear
them. These mint condition, never used 50s sunglasses come to you
direct from the dusty shelf of a Newport, Rhode Island estate liquidation.

New
listing! Get ready for extraordinarily hard to find vintage French
sunglasses from the 1950s or 1960s. A classic of mid-century design
that is still avidly sought by collectors today to wear, these are
sure to generate complements and questions of where you got them.
Sleek and cat-like, these vintage sunglasses have that great white
marbled color of the vintage lucite frames, and as an added bonus
this is a pair that also has rhinestone clusters on each front corner.
The sunglasses measure approximately 5.5" wide with each side
bar 5.5" long and curving inward at the rear. They are in excellent
condition and are marked on the side bar "Made in France"
and come to you via a major Malibu, CA estate liquidation in which
we are participating. We get email asking us to find more of these
vintage fifties and sixties French sunglasses all the time, so it
goes without saying that they won't last long; cross listed on Bakelite
& Lucite 3. |

Super
period 1950s beaded purse is in excellent condition and has a nice
keychain as part of the zipper that really comes in handy- trust
us, we tried it out. Anyway, it's a nice colorful design with thousands
of tiny red, blue, green, yellow, and white beads adorning the black
base material. It has a nice beaded strap rising 7.0" from
the body of the purse for easy carrying. The purse body itself measures
approximately 10.5" x 8.5" when flat and is zippered for
secure closing. With a silk lining to top it off, this is a very
good example of period 60s design and is in excellent and original
condition. |

Super
1960s McCoy 3 piece set in desirable green glaze "With Love"
is very hard to find together and combines two McCoy planters with
a rectangular vase. The rich green glaze is common to all three
pieces, and we really like the fact that the "With" is
done in white on one side and green on one side of the planters
and the entire "With Love" is done in white on one side
and green on the other side for the vase. The planters are marked
680 with the impressed McCoy mark, copyright, and USA (one patent
pending), while the vase is also an early production piece marked
with the McCoy USA mark patent pending. The planters each measure
approximately 6.25" wide, 3.25" deep, and 3.25" high
while the tall rectangular vase measures 7.75" high, 2.0"
deep, and 3.0" wide at the widest point. All three pieces are
in excellent condition, part of an Orlando, FL estate collection
of vintage and antique pottery from major American manufacturers;

listing! This is the best set of 6 1950s drinking glasses we've
had in a long time, in excellent condition and standing 4" high
and 3.25" in diameter. Of course the unique thing about this set
are the yellow and green glass jewels affixed to the front of each
glass in the shape of a daisy. Absolutely guaranteed to make a statement
and start a conversation, as we proved at home last weekend!

Super
1960s mirror with hanging beadwork that has a great design look
and is sure to bring back memories. It features a rectangular mirror
12.0" x 6.0" and extremely strong beadwork of contrasting
sizes and colors that decorate not just top and bottom but also
up the sides of this hand made memory of the sixties. The top bead
work features larger beads to hold the mirror on the wall, while
the multiple hanging strands of beads on the bottom provide the
decorative fringe. Very hard to find any more, this piece was part
of a large Myrtle Beach, SC estate collection that features numerous
relics being liquidated by a couple of aging hippies! It's in excellent
condition, 24.0" top to bottom when the hand made beadwork
is included. |

Fun
set of 8 1950s drinking glasses in retro fifties colors and design,
all in mint condition and held in the matching 50s metal glassholder
in a classic mid-century style. We love the coil wrap handle of
the 8 glass brass glass holder, with ball feet and in good condition
with minimal tarnishing which make it a great accessory to display
the glasses between uses. The glasses evoke the look of the fifties,
in colors of orange, pink, blue, and green, with each measuring
approximately 6.0" high and 2.75" in diameter at the top.
These are nice, heavy glasses as is typical of this style of drinkware
from the 1950s and 1960s. The colorful plastic covers are removable
to allow for using the dishwasher to clean the glass, and the plastic
is marked on the bottom with the manufacturer's mark and various
design numbers. With the holder, the set measures approximately
12.25" wide, 6.0" deep, and 9.5" high. Great as a
gift or to use yourself, it comes direct from the shelf of a Los
Angeles, CA estate consignment. |

Super
example of cool 1960's retro drinking glasses and holder, one of
the most hotlly collected areas and sets of the past 5 years. We
particularly love the colors and style of this set, with hard to

of each of the 8 glasses in the set. The metal holder itself is
equally unique, with an open style that looks great with or without
glasses. Each glass measures 3.5" high and 3.0" in diameter,
and the entire set is in excellent condition and comes to you as

Rare,
signed Majestic lucite purse with the unique gold threading running
throughout the body of the purse. It has great curves on the body
and especially on the top cover which is guaranteed to make a fashion
statement in the 21st century just as it must have in the last.
You won't see this imbedded gold threading effect in any modern
pieces due to the specialization and complexity of the manufacturing
process. The handbag measures approximately 7.0" long, 3.0" wide,
and stands 6.0" high not including the clear lucite handle which
adds another 4.5" in height to the purse. It's in very good condition
with minor wear to the brass sides. The purse is marked on both
sides of the interior "Majestic", and it has all 4 original ball
feet. |

Very
collectible Lisner tin flower pin, a fun and whimsical piece with
the butterfly (might be a frog or other insect depending on how
you look at it....) perched on the petal of the flower. The design
of the pin screams out 1950s mid-century retro and really gives
it a unique and sure to generate comments look. It's a nice size
measuring approximately 3.5" high and 2.0" wide, and it's
properly marked on the back with the Lisner mark. D. Lisner and
Company was founded in New York City in 1904, a contemporary of
Coro and similar in pricing and design. This fun fifties tin pin
is in very good condition and comes to you direct as part of a major
Savannah, Georgia estate collection of finer vintage jewelry; cross

In
a very hard to find color and with eye catching style, this vintage
bakelite purse features all original hardware and a lovely and deeply
carved clear lucite top and matching handle. It's also an unusual
and irregular shape, with sides extending out a few degrees top
to bottom and then angling up toward the clear lucite top. It features
a clear lucite closure with brass fastener pin and 4 lucite ball
feet on the bottom. The bakelite body is particularly nice in that
it features angled lines in a slightly darker shade that add incremental
contrast to the piece and make for some added design flair. This
vintage bakelite and lucite purse is in excellent condition and
measures approximately 8.0" wide, 3.25" deep, and 4.0"
high not including the clear lucite handle which rises another 4.5"
from the top of the purse. Cross listed on Bakelite
& Lucite page 1 where you'll find other great bakelite and
lucite handbags and accessories. |
