Plastic Nursery Rhyme Plaque - Hey-Diddle-Diddle
More Vintage Items
See Saw Margery Daw Plaque
Cat & Fiddle Button
This vintage 1969 nursery rhyme wall plaque measures about 7 inches wide by 5-1/2 inches high. The whole story is here:
Hey-diddle-diddle The cat and the fiddle. The cow jumped over the moon; The little dog laughed To see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon.
This is old-store stock, unused and in great condition. The poem and the characters are raised from the plaque and are highlighted with golden accents. These were manufactured by Invicta Plastics and have lots of detailed information on the back regarding Invicta's company and locations. Some of these have the mounting tabs on the back that may or may not still be sticky. They were originally used to mount on the wall in a child's room - and would look great in a shadow box frame for a nostalgic touch.
The cow jumping over the moon is the delight of so very many children of all ages! The actual meaning is a bit fuzzy. Some say that it represents the rise of Richard III to power. Others suggest that it represents the constellations in the spring sky. Still others attribute the little poem to a description of Queen Elizabeth I and her good friend Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester. She often referred to him as her lap dog.

Songs of Experience - Facsimile Reproduction
More Books
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? . . .
One of Blake's most inspired creations, The Tyger mingles the lyric and mystical in an exquisite union. Now you can experience the beauty of this and other poems the way Blake intended them - with his own hand-colored illustrations giving them visual form.
This facsimile edition of one of Blake's celebrated Illuminated Books reproduces a collection of calligraphed poems, each enclosed in a masterful full-color illustration. Twenty-six plates reprinted from a rare 1826 etched edition include "London," " A Little Boy Lost," "Holy Thursday," "The Voice of the Ancient Bard" and other immortal verse. To enhance reading, the texts of all the poems are transcribed separately, following the plates.
Dynamic designs and simplicity of language convey Blake's vision of mankind and his condemnation of a wealthy society insensitive to poverty and unhappiness. Moreover, its universal themes make Songs of Experience just as poignant and profound today. Lovers of literature and fine art will want to add this faithful, inexpensive facsimile of an immortal classic to their libraries.
This charming softbound book measures 5-1/4 by 7 inches and has 48 pages, including the facsimile republication of 26 color plates from Songs of Innocence and of Experience, 1826, and a complete printed text of the poems.

Golden Antler Dresdens
These are really meant to be antlers for deer, reindeer or any other animal (real or fantasy). However, we think a good imagination will conjure many other ideas for their use.
These are lightweight highly embossed golden Dresdens just waiting for you to trim them - to use in your holiday crafts and other artwork. Long used for embellishing ornaments and glued to other paper scraps and decoupage projects, these wonderful motifs are even more special because they are golden - one of the traditional color of many of ornaments of the Victorian period.
The embossing on these reliefs is superb, as is the cutting. These are new but are made in the same fashion as they have been for many, many decades! Each sheet measures 4-1/4 by 3-1/2 inches. Each antler rack measures 1 inch high by 1-3/4 inch wide

Vintage Embossed Die Cut Chromolithograph Scraps - Animal Wannabes
More Scraps, Dresdens & Die Cuts
From the mid-20th century, super cute scraps feature animals in professions and activities normally reserved for their human friends. There are bears, birds, monkeys and more bowling, juggling, delivering the mail and playing the banjo. Artists, musicians and waiters and more, offer their more humorous side for inclusion in your artworks. We're not sure whether we wannabe the animals or if they wannabe human.
As with many of the scraps and die cuts made in the 20th century, these are children in adult situations. The advent of space exploration in the 1950s and 1960s, led to many products such as these. Rather than intricately die cut motifs, these are nicely expressed vignettes that are die cut into shapes - probably meant for découpage. We're particularly attracted to the colors in this production - there is a special tone that makes the scraps seem older than they even really are!
The scrap relief sheet is approximately 9 inches by 7 inches, ready for you to clip and use in your artwork. And each sheet is lightly embossed to accent. The shapes make these perfect for accenting boxes, pencil cups or other such items.

This is an old-time joke from days gone by and is genuinely fun to show to younger (and older) people who might never have seen it!

Art Postcard - Dinosaur in the Park
At first we thought this photograph to be typical of 1950s Americana, but, alas, the photo was actually taken in 2002! We just love the way the car, van and trailers are parked so unassumingly in front of the prehistoric dinosaur!
