Old Stock Wooden Duck Family of Four
More Ducks
More Birds of All Kinds
More Vintage Items
More Wooden Things
We love old stuff like this little family of ducks. Even if these little guys were made today, they just wouldn't have that old-fashioned look to them.
Each set contains a larger Mama duck with her three little ducklings following behind. The Mom measures about 1-1/2 inch long (including her beak) and the babies are a bit smaller. How cute these would be with your little dolls or bears or even in a putz under a feather tree!
These are old store stock and have never been used. They were made to be novelty pieces, so there is some slight aging, which we adore!

Vintage Pin Back Button - Donald Duck in a Rare Romantic Mood
More Pinbacks
More Ducks & Geese
More Vintage
More Valentines
Donald Duck rarely finds himself in a good mood - let alone a romantic one! He has flowers in hand and is probably on his way to visit that only woman who could love (tolerate?) him, Daisy Duck.
These are old store stock that have never been used. You might have to maneuver the pin a bit when you decide to wear it. These are pretty sturdy so that should not be a problem. The pin measures 1 inch in diameter.
These are from an old warehouse in Brooklyn and were never distributed. They are in good condition for a novelty from the 1960s.
The pictures are not centered perfectly on any of these, but they were not considered to be "seconds." We are showing 3 examples for illustration only.
Because these are unmarked with origin, we believe them to be made in the USA, but we cannot be sure.

Hand-Made Victorian Ivory Goose Feather Sprig from Sandy Elliott's Christmas Bazaar
More Ornament Components
More Christmas
More Victorian
Sample Ornament
These are sprigs made of real goose feathers - the same way they were made in the early days of holiday decorating! Each is handmade from dyed goose feathers. The feathers are applied individually in the same manner as in 19th century Germany.
These were designed and created for Sandy Elliott, who pioneered in recreating vintage Victorian Christmas items for display and for crafting. Alas, her business no longer exists, but we were fortunate enough to be able to obtain some of these wonderful sprigs before she closed. We recently rediscovered them and are proud to offer them to you. These are still made by other manufacturers, but we were quite taken by these.
Each sprig is just about 2 inches long and 1-1/4 inch wide with a 1-1/2 inch stem and is finished with a berry tip. This Victorian Cream sprig sports a matching berry at the tip, just like those of old.
Now you can reproduce all of those wonderful Victorian Ornaments. Let Santa carry one as a miniature tree. Combine some reproduction Christmas Die Cuts with some stretched Krausbouillion and one of these sprigs, sprinkle on some mica (a little glue helps!) and voilà - a Victorian ornament.

AMAZING Vintage Duck Doll Face
More Supplies for Art Dolls
This guy won a Donald Duck look-a-like contest in the early 1950s - or so he tell us. We can't be sure. But we are sure that he's been around that long. Doesn't he look like a 1950s kid's costume mask?
Hollow on the back and highly stylized, we've realized that his expression is just too happy for him to be The Donald.
He measures about 3-1/8 inches long by 2-1/8 inches wide and 1-1/2 inch from his beak to the back of his head.
He's made of an odd kind of plastic, that just might have some paper mixed in. His eyes, and mouth - er...beak - have been hand painted.

We're delighted to offer some of the wonderful giftwrap produced by one of the early stationers in the mid-20th Century. This authentic Dennison gift wrap is in the original package, which was marked 15¢. On some of the packages, the retailer marked it down to 10¢ per package. Alas, now that it is vintage, those prices cannot be matched.
This lovely wrap features cheerful baby bunnies and pigs and bears and giraffes and ducks and mice and sheep! Many are holding balloons and the message reads:
for Baby
Each sheet is folded as it was originally and measures 19 inches by 29 inches when open.

Letterpress Note card - Duck Parade
More Note Cards
Sometimes you just feel like prancing - in a parade with the little ones behind you. And sometimes, we stop in our cars to watch a duck parade pass. This little letterpress card celebrates that joy.
We just love letterpress cards and letters. The elegance of vintage stationery is all but forgotten. We're simply delighted that some smaller companies are offering the same high-quality papers and designs with a modern touch - so we can offer them to you! The simple design represents the simple sentiment so well. And, of course, because it is letterpress, you can feel the letters with your fingers.
The 3-1/4 by 5-1/4 inch size is just what you need for those short messages and quick thank you notes. Each image is printed individually by letterpress on fine quality recycled paper and is accompanied by an appropriate envelope.

Vintage Dancing Duck Pin
More Pins & Brooches
These funny little ducky pins are brand new, unused old stock. They were made in Germany over twenty years ago and feature a debonair dancing duck - dressed to the nines, just like Fred Astaire - with top hat and cane. This lead-free pin is vintage and is made with the precision workmanship for which the Germans are so well known!
The beautiful detailing is old-world style. The the color of the duck's outfit varies (see our close-up for other colors). But we have only a few of each color. So, please let us choose one for you.
He measures 1 inch tall and 1-1/2 inch at his widest point.

Vintage Donald (?) Duck Charm
More Charms
Donald Trump may think he's The Donald, but we disagree. It only makes sense that the famous duck is the original The Donald.
Although this cute little charm has no markings that indicate it is a true Donald Duck charm, we suspect that it is. Or, at least on of his relatives.
The charm base is golden metal that appears to be brass, but we can't be sure. The painting has all been hand done.
These charms hail from the mid-20th century.

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.

Bird Cut & Use Stencils
More Stencils & Stencil Art
More Birds (Especially Crows!)
Bird designs are among the most popular and widely used designs by artists and craftsmen. Ed Sibbett, Jr., well-known artist and craftsman, has created this elegant and practical collection of decorative birds: eagles, parrots, toucans, ducks, geese, swans and numerous common songbirds, most of which are perched on attractive foliage or branches. Although not identified specifically, we are pretty sure that there is a corbus (crow, raven or blackbird) in this collection. Stylistically, the 54 designs range from quite naturalistic to highly stylized, some with a distinct Asian flavor are also to be found here.
Printed on one side of a page on heavy manila paper, these stencils can be used again and again to decorate clothing, trays, walls, floors, furniture, leather, tin and almost any other surface. Complete instructions and a list of the necessary materials and tools are given in the introduction. The materials needed are inexpensive and easy to find in most well-stocked hardware, discount and art-supply stores, while the stenciling method is easily mastered and projects quickly completed.
There are 54 stencil designs printed on durable paper on one side of a page only, so they are easily cut out. This 64-page soft cover book is meant to be cut apart. It measures 8-1/4 by 11 inches.

Note Card - Perfect for Teenagers
More Birthdays
So, I never heard this quote. But, others here at SilverCrow did! They liked it, but not as much as I did. You see, I've not had my own kids, so I only remember being the teenager who needed such advice:
ARE YOU TIRED OF BEING HARASSED BY YOUR STUPID PARENTS? ACT NOW. MOVE OUT, GET A JOB, AND PAY YOUR OWN BILLS - WHILE YOU STILL KNOW EVERYTHING.
-John Hinde
Artist Simon Drew of the UK has also illustrated the back of the card as well - and we ALL love this quote:
'There are three ways to get something done; do it yourself, hire someone, or forbid your kids to do it.' Mona Crane
The inside is blank for your own provocative message. Each card is packaged with a brightly tinted envelope that matches.

Audubon Bird Call
This original classic red finish Audubon Bird Call consists of a birchwood roller and a zinc plug. With reasonable care, and periodic re-application of rosin from the included capsule, the call will last a lifetime. By twisting this simple device, you can easily imitate the songs of many wild songbirds.
Roger Eddy and his family and friends assembled the Audubon Bird Call by hand in his living room. He created the call after seeing similar devices used in northern Italy. For over 50 years, the Audubon Bird Call has been crafted by hand in New England and is now considered the standard bird call throughout the world. Roger died in 2003, and his grandchildren proudly continue this family business.
Please consider the birds when using this call: don't use it excessively near nests and when birds are resting.
