Sterling Silver Crow Ring
More Crows, Ravens & Birds
More Rings
This lovely sterling silver band features a crow or raven, but it certainly might represent any corvi. We're particularly fond of our black-feathered friends, and the spirits they protect. With this stunning ring on your finger, the power of the blackbird's spirit may comfort you. Or, you might choose to slip it on a necklace or chain for a different look.
The band is finely made and the detail is very special. The asymmetry of this elegant piece adds to its allure. It arrives in a lovely black triangle ring box for presentation, with a protective strip to minimize tarnish.
SilverCrow also offers a matching Crow Bracelet, Crow Earrings, a Crow Necklace and a Crow Brooch - all in sterling silver.

Vintage Box of Glattolin Collar Wax
More Vintage Items
During the late 19th and the early 19th century, gentlemen's white collars were starched stiffly for a very formal look. The starch often chafed the back of the gent's necks. So, collar chafing wax was created to help. This great little box - pretty nifty all by itself, is an original - with the original wax fully intact inside. Glattolin, Glettoline, Glättolin, Glattolina - the name is listed in 4 languages on the sides of the box, so this must have been a popular product in lots of countries.
The graphics feature a gentleman preparing his collar with the wax before attaching the collar to his shirt. It was commonplace for the collar to be separate.
Inside the box is the notched wax block along with an instruction sheet that features some additional advertised products from the same company.
The box measures about 1-1/2 inch square. This is nice unused old store stock from around the 1910s and it is in great condition.

Vintage Lenticular "Winky" Gizmo (for Golf?)
More Lenticulars
We've always enjoyed lenticular (winky, blinky, flicker) images - especially the vintage ones. These are quite special vintage Vari-Vue triangles with moving arrows.
Sometimes called flashers, flickers, wiggles or animated paper, our lenticulars are all cool, but this one is really neat. This Vari-Vue flicker (we think these are the best!) was made in 1967 and is still in excellent condition. Each is a triangle with a hole at the top - so it can be attached to a key chain or to any project easily. From the top an arrow swings like a pendulum back and forth. The image is so wonderful that it almost makes you dizzy watching the arrow!
But the real use might just surprise you!
We are told that this is a Golf Practice Gizmo. No fooling - that's the real name! To make it work, insert your golf tee through the hole. Place the ball and then place your ball and your Gizmo on the ground in position for driving. If the arrows move, it measures your body sway. A stationary arrow indicates a steady swing.
Each individual triangle measures approximately 2-1/2 inches by 2-1/2 inches. These are great fun for golfer who celebrate the history of the sport as well as the play. Whether used for golf or not, you'll find this to be mesmerizing.

Impatience Paper animation kit!
This great little kit is an automatum. Automata are toys or models which use a mechanism (such as the crank) to come alive - to move. Automata have a long and distinguished history and have been made of leather, paper, metal and more for hundreds of years. Building a da Vinci-inspired model like Impatience is still a passion for many.
This whimsical moving paper model is great for a family or for yourself - just pop out the pieces, fold, glue and assemble. Curious enough for even the most advanced minds, it's also great for the first time model builder, too.
What a fantastic way to learn about mechanical principles. Turn the handle on the model and the fingers tap impatiently on the box top. Add a bandage and you'll have the Impatient Outpatient - perfect for a doctor's office or reception area.
