Hand Made Saint George Badge with Relic - Patron of Riders, the cavalry & against skin disorders
More Milagros, Talismans, Relics & Such
More Shrines & Shrine Supplies
We use the word relic as though everything were sacred. Alas, we guess that everything might be as we all exist in a world together from some kind of creation. Whether you be a believer in such holy items is not necessarily important. The brush with history and maybe with holiness seems to be just within our reach when we encounter a true relic.
The Catholic relic is a 4th class relic cloth. A tiny piece of cloth has touched a true relic.
The most sacred of relics are actual parts of the saint's body - perhaps a lock of hair. A secondary relic might be a personal item of the saint, such as clothing or a book or it might even be something that belonged to someone else that actually touched the holy person. These first and second class relics are not to be sold or given away. They are treasured by the churches and displayed for believers in secure areas.
Items like the tiny piece of cloth included in our relic badge (in our photo, the cloth is green) have touched a first or second class relic. It is appropriate to buy 3rd and 4th class relics and it is also considered a lovely gesture to offer one as a gift.
We're showing the front with a primitive image of Saint Augustine and a miniaturized view of the back of the same relic. The back reads:
Touched to Relic of St. George Pray for us.
The relic cloth has been glued to the back and the front and back are hand crochet together.
Saint George is known for his bravery and care for the lesser souls. For that reason he holds many patronages. He is represented as a knight on horseback and often carries a lance. He protects against leprosy and other ailments of the skin, against the plague and herpes. He is the patron of those who are chivalrous and brave, so he could easily be thought to care for the military as well.
Crochet thread may vary in color, as may the relic cloth itself.

Embossed Die Cut Reproduction Scrap - All the King's Men (Set 1)
More Scraps & Die Cuts
More Horses
Humpty Dumpty knew them all - and none of them - even the ones with horses - could put him back together again. This set of reproduction scraps was a special run to featuring Victorian images such as the British military.
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 images. This piece is well trimmed with expert die cutting - so well done, that very little trimming is necessary.

Vintage Die Cut Scraps - Swedish Dala Horse Set
More Vintage Die Cuts, Dresdens & Scraps
More Horses & Donkeys
Unique in that these scraps are from Sweden, these craft horses are known as Swedish Dala horses -lovely carved horses they have been icons of Swedish folk art since the early 1800s.
We are consistently charmed that so many pieces of folk art around the world are similar to folk art half a world away! We think the little Dala horses resemble Mexican burro piñatas.
Each scrap set features an orange and a blue horse as pictured, with flowers in the background. The two scraps are connected, but can be trimmed apart, if you choose. These have been printed on matte paper and the colors are vibrantly delicious. Scraps like these are quite rare. We believe them to be from the 1930s or 1940s.
The entire piece measures 9-1/4 inches from left to right, and 6-1/8 inches high. The piece arrives folded at the burros' noses as originally created.

The Hacienda Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas was once a very trendy spot. It was built in the early 1950s and was quite popular until its implosion on New Year's Eve 1996. In fact, it is known as "the hotel that wouldn't die" as there was still a substantial portion of the building left the next day!
This wonderful little pinback are quite detailed with the image of the Hacienda's Matador astride a handsome steed and the the Hotel's name below. Each is presented in a little plastic case with a foam base. The pins arrive without the backing clutch. We think these are great additions to any souvenir collection of casino or Las Vegas memorabilia. But, it will also make a unique embellishment for your collage or assemblage artwork.

The caramel color is hard to see exactly on the internet, but it is a wonderful reproduction of the color as well as of the 3-dimensional image.

Vintage Pressed Glass Charm - BLUE Stylized Horse Profile
More Charms
Originally sold in the Five & Dime stores back in the 1920s and 1930s, this very special pressed glass charm was made in Japan. It measures about 3/8 inch in diameter - not including the little loop.
The color in the glass is slightly variegated, with the main color of each charm is a gorgeous light blue. Even the string is original (the color of the string may vary from the one pictured).
These are new old stock - never used. We even found them in the original box marked Made in Japan. These were manufactured as a novelty - perhaps for a little girl's charm bracelet, so please allow for some variability.

Vintage Glass Belmont Seventh Race Ticket Intaglio Cabochon
More Components
Created using a ticket from the Belmont racetrack in New York, this cool little cabochon measures 1-1/8 inch by 7/8 inch and it's about 1/8 thick. Each preserves an image of a ticket for the 7th race for the strangely named horse, ZzCUM. These are old stock intaglio cabochons that have never been used. The one in the illustration is in perfect condition. However, many of these show some wear. You might want to reinforce the back (bottom) of the stone before you use it in your artwork. We like the shabby chic look of the missing pieces of the ticket. Each one reads:
BELMONT 410 100 100 100 ZzCUM ONE 1 1 ONE SEVENTH (7) RACE 7 MAY 55
Around the edges, it reads WIN WIN WIN on either side.

Vintage Horseshoe-Shaped Tobacco Tag
More Vintage Stuff
More Smoking
More Good Luck
We bought these from someone who declared that her 97-year-old grandfather told her that his mother used to chew tobacco and she saved these horseshoe plug tags.
These tags were used around the early 1900s to mark plugs of tobacco - tobacco for chewing. Around that time, it was made by pressing cured tobacco leaves together in a molasses-based or other sweet syrup. This was a hand-on process. Customers would cut, or even bite off, a piece of the plug to chew.
Tags like these were used to identify the plug manufacturer. Although many such tags bore the name of the tobacco grower or producer, these do not. Most of these are quite rusty. The points bend under to attach them to the tobacco, or of course, to your project! Some of the points are bent backward already, so please be careful - the points are sharp!

Art Postcard - Cowboy Crate Label
More Postcards
More Wild West & Rodeo
Collectible crate labels are used in all kinds of artwork, but we think this one makes a great postcard, too. Featuring a western cowboy riding his trusted companion horse, this label identified orange crates from the Tustin Hills Citrus Association of Tustin, California (abbreviated as Calif. on the card). He is riding fast and hard to lasso that orange. The original label hails from the 1930s.
What a fun invitation for a little (or big) buckaroo's birthday party!

It is hard to believe, but each of the cards produced by J.Stone Cards is, one by one, individually hand painted in watercolor on elegant 100% cotton cream colored card stock with a matching envelope. The card measures 3-3/4 by 7-1/4 inches.
Shadow horses run in a lively group across the way under the hot sun and stunning sky:

Handmade Amulet for Luck and Love
More Amulets & Shrine Items
This large Mexican packet amulet is decorated with so very many meaningful items that it is hard to describe! The centerpiece is a herradura (magnetic horseshoe) wrapped with colorful rayon thread. Round, flower and leaf sequins are spread throughout. The horseshoe faces downward in the middle of the red paper covered heart. It frames a holy picture of San Martin Caballero the patron of luck and money. Wooden crosses are at each of the top corners.
This special amulet also contains wheat stalks, golden threads and seeds. The small packet covered in velvet usually contains wheat seeds or grain, representing gold dust - or, seeds of the Job's tears plant for protection.
Each of these 6-inch high amulets is basically the same, but, of course, because they are each hand-made, you can rest assured that each is also unique, and the maker affixes a special stamped paper on the back with spiritual images specific to that maker. The entire piece is covered with vinyl film and arrives with a hanging string.
This makes a lovely engagement or wedding gift, offering protection for the new couple. Of course, we cannot promise that it does have powers, but oftentimes, belief is what is most powerful.
