Our duct tape wallets are all pretty cool, but this one is even more so! At first glance, you might think it is made of leather or vinyl because it is dark saddle brown in color. After closer inspection, you'll find it's made of the the ubiquitous and essential duct tape!
Ever so cool - and gender neutral - everyone LOVES duct tape! SilverCrow's mini-wallets are very compact - about 3 inches by 4 inches folded, with two pockets for your credit cards, pictures. And, of course, another long pocket for all of your precious paper currency, traveler's checks, etc.!

Vintage Father's Day Western Union Form
More Ephemera
More Father's Day
Today's telegrams have little of the charm or impact of those of days gone by. These are the forms used in times past to record your telegram's message before turning it over to the telegrapher to send it.
The front of the form features a happy sportsman fly fishing in a mountain stream:
Father's Day Greetings
What a nice way to send a special Father's Day message. And it is ultimately perfect for your Father's Day collages and other artwork.
These were produced in 1968 and they do show the appropriate fading. Most are in wonderful condition. In the upper right corner is the code:
WU744(68)
which probably refers to the Western Union form number.
At the bottom it reads:
by western union
Each sheet measures 8 inches wide by 5-3/4 inches long.

Golden Dresden DAD with a Crown with Red Accents - Package of 5
More Dads & Father's Day
More Dresdens
Same Dresden in Plain Gold
Perfect for any occasion when you want to express your devotion to your Dad. Consider a special Father's Day card with this golden enhancement. And the red accents really set this Dresden apart. You might also choose to celebrate his birthday, name day or even Valentine's Day.
We think that these golden embossed die cuts would be absolutely lovely on Baby Shower favors or invitations for couples showers. Don't forget the Daddy-to-Be.
The embossing is accented by the color in this 2 inch high by 2-3/8 inch wide Dresden.
Our Golden Dad is crafted in the tradition of Victorian Dresdens, but is brand new!

Vintage Jiggers Soldering Kit

More Vintage Items
More Stuff for Dads
This is so cool. It is a full box of an after-market soldering kit that was made in the 1950s for Chevrolet, Chevy Truck, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Buick, GMC, Ford Flathead V-8, Model A T, MOPAR (Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge and Desoto), Hudson, Kaiser-Frazer, Nash, Packard, Studebaker, and Willys-Jeep.
Each vintage 1-7/8 inch square box contains 6 jiggers. It was a simple solution for those doing their own car repairs way back when!
To complete the soldering job, the mechanic (amateur or pro) pinched of the top of the jigger. Then s/he inserted spliced wires into the jigger, lit it with a match, and presto! the wires were soldered together.
These originally sold for 35¢ per box. This unused old store stock was delightfully discovered in an old car repair shop. What a great gift for someone repairing a vintage car, truck, jalopy or even a motorcycle!

Decision Maker: Yes or No
More Desk Accessories
Not sure of the answer? Maybe you're not even sure of the question. Do you have a hard time making decisions? Well, here's a little desktop do-ditty to help you choose between yes or no. Sorry, but more complex questions will have to be rephrased!
Just spin and the red ball will make the final decision. But, what if it lands between yes and no. Maybe... Oh-oh, maybe we should ask first if it should make the final decision. Oh, no - this could catch us in a never-ending loop! In any case, rest assured that this will be fun for anyone - especially those fast decision-makers!

Sterling Silver Crow Ring

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 gift box.
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
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.
