Super swirl glass pitcher is all hand blown glass and really evokes the striking look of the 1950s and 1960s and is a lot more eye catching than most anything you can buy today. We particularly love the colors of this pitcher, rich colors of white and amber in a swirling design that winds down the entire surface perimeter of the pitcher. It has a nicely bulbous bottom portion for added flair and that really shows off the handblown glass, and it's in mint condition. It's also a nice size suitable for a variety of uses, standing approximately 8.75 " high and 6.0" in diameter at the widest point, right to the site from a Hilton Head, SC beachfront home; cross listed on Glass 2. $55.00

Fun mid-20th century Lady Schick electric razor in the original box and in excellent condition. This is a classic in 1950s / 1960s industrial design, and check out those blue, silver, and gold flowers on the front design of the razor. This is a terrific piece of design that you can still use everyday, with the razor itself measuring approximately 2.75" high and 3.0" wide at the widest point, and the round box measures 2.875" high and 4.0" in diameter. Bargain price, part of a New York City riverfront estate.     $16.00
F043 Vintage 1960s print of an ink drawing by Judith Hedrick, measuring approximately 22.5" x 15.125" and in excellent condition. The stylized depictions of men and women standing around, huge feet almost leaping out from the paper and the giant sixties flower adorning one leg. This is a fine work and printed with precision and very high quality. It has the printed name of the artist on the lower right corner and comes direct from a major Atlanta, GA print collection./32     SOLD

From the estate of a worker at the Holt-Howard company in Stamford, Connecticut, here's a rare opportunity to own mid-century Holt-Howard Christmas collectibles. The company imported ceramic holiday decorations from Japan, often to their design and sold under the Holt-Howard name in the United States. 1. Set of 3 donkey holiday candleholders in brilliant colors of red, green, and white. Each donkey measures approximately 4.25" high and 4.75" head to tail. Each is marked and dated on the bottom Holt-Howard 1964 Japan, and one retains the original Holt-Howard double H paper label. Two of the three are in mint condition, and one has a very minor chip on the side of one side of the candle holding rim, easily repaired if you so desire. 2. Set of two Holt-Howard holiday dove or bird candleholders, with good detail and a nice golden color on their wings and holly with berries on their chest. Each bird measures approximately 2.75" high and 4.5" head to tail. Both are in very good condition with no chips or damage, and one retains the original Holt-Howard double H paper label. Cross listed on Holiday 2. /16     1 $24.00/

Very cool 1950s / 1960s slotted cannister light screams out mid-century modern retro design and still looks great in the 21st century too! The cannister design is white on the exterior and red on the interior, which combines for a nice sixties effect regardless of whether the lamp is on or off. As you can see in the photos, the slots in the lamp body give off a very unique lighting pattern when lit, especially in a dark room. The cannister style retro lamp is in very good condition and measures approximately 9.0" high and 6.5" in diameter at the widest point; cross listed on Lamps 2.     $165.00
F046 Colorful David Douglas sixties plastic drinking glasses are in very good condition come direct from a Miami Beach, FL estate collection full of classic fifties and sixties design. This nice set of 5 glasses rise to a height of 3.5" on a rounded base and cup which measure 3.0" in diameter. The front of each cup is decorated with a classic 1960s graphic right out of the Dating Game, which make these great to display in any 50s decor plus a nice size and quite functional to use. On the base is impressed in the plastic "Designed by David Douglas" and "Made of Genuine Accalac Pat. Pending." Bargain price! /18     SOLD

If you're like a lot of collectors and fans, you have great sets of 1950s and 1960s drinking glasses but are missing a vintage fifties or sixties holder that's really what makes the look. Out of an Augusta, GA estate, we nabbed this super round mid-century modern machine age chrome glass holder. It has approximately 2" x 2" hanging compartments for 6 glasses, and we have also seen this style used for jewelry, hanging necklaces and bangles for the extended horizontal bars with the round balls to keep things from falling off. For style, we particularly like the ball feet and the wrapped wire top grip area for carrying. It's in excellent condition and bargain priced.    $14.00

The set of 2 includes a super green fan pin, very hard to find, and a flower pin with metal stem and leaves and a great orange and yellow tin flower that really evokes the colors of the ear. Both are in very good condition, with the fan pin measuring approximately 2.0" in diameter and the flower pin measuring 2.75" high with a 1.5" in diameter flower.  /35 SOLD

Terrific mid-century modern Raymor Italian ceramic "Bourbon" vase with that fun and whimsical couple raising their glasses in a toast! The colors are classic fifties retro and we love the artist vision for the image, with the black lines outlining the figures and their clothing, liquor, and the sun above highlighted with hand painted blue. It measures approximately 10.5" high and 4.75" in diameter at the widest point, and it's in good condition with only a small chip less than 0.25" wide on the top edge which has been filled in but where the color isn't matching very well- if you're good with touch up and color matching, you'll be all set. It's fully marked on the bottom "Raymor Italy R2121/C" and c. 1950s / 1960s. Cross listed on Pottery 2. Bargain price for Raymor!    $45.00

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.    1 $45.00

F051   Superb, very hard to find Bonetto handmade face pin with incredible realism in the face, hat, and floral decoration and sure to generate complements. It's a super combination of hand painted plastic and rhinestones measuring approximately 2.375" high and 2.5" hat brim to hat brim. The pin is still mounted on its original paper backing with the Bonetto trademark from New York, Paris, and Milan and "Handmade." Cross listed on Jewelry 1. /38    SOLD

Fun and colorful 1950s glazed and covered art pottery bowl that is one of the best examples of this kitchenware related art form that we've seen. The colors are vibrant and the glaze gives it a sheen that you don't often see in pottery of this period. The top is particularly well done and intricately designed and executed, and the ornamental brass top adds that final bit of flair. You will note that the inside of the bowl with its colors and glaze is really as good as is the top, and even the exterior sides of the bowl which you can see in the photographs has yet another contrasting pattern that all fits together remarkably well. Measuring approximately 5.0" high when covered and 7.875" in diameter, it's in very good condition with only the tiniest glaze nick and minor age crazing on the top cover. The inside of the cover is marked 998-2198 as is the bottom of the bowl, and it comes to you direct from an Atlanta, Georgia estate collection.    $48.00

Whimsical washing machine and dryer theme plastic salt and pepper shakers, one of the cutest set of shakers we've seen in quite a while. Each machine features the Westinghouse brand above the front loading door which features a clear plastic window replicating the look of a real machine. The door of the salt reads Laundromat while that of the pepper reads Clothes Dryer. Each stands 3.0" high, 2.75" deep, and 2.5" wide, and while there is some age wear to the white plastic in places the set is overall in very good condition given the age and material. Super whimsical theme collectors cherish!    $22.00/set

Super 1950s cat's eye and rhinestone sunglasses, in excellent condition and still in the original case. These have a great shape with two tone color (the front is lighter while layered to that behind is more of a clear gold color of lucite), and the rhinestones and two stars which decorate each front corner really add flair. Each earpiece is studded with rhinestones at the front corner, and the inside of one earpiece is marked Sunmodes SRO. The glasses measure approximately 5.5" across the front, and each ear stem is about 5.5" in length. The soft case is stylish and fits them like a glove, matching the color of the glasses. Direct from a Miami Beach, FL estate collection, these are sure to attract attention and generate complements. /55cp    ON HOLD
F055 Super sixties tin flower pin has great 60s colors and is sure to generate complements on your lapel. We love the detail and colors of this piece, with all handpainted green stem and leaves combining with the unusual pink and maroon shades on the flower petals and center. There are two rows of petals, with the darker color underneath the lighter color of petals to give the piece depth and a more realistic effect. It measures approximately 4.0" high with a 2.5" in diameter flower, and it's in excellent condition direct from an Atlanta, Georgia estate collection of vintage costume jewelry exclusive to Collectics. Makes a great gift from the mid-century!  /22 SOLD
