Vintage Package of Peach Seals
More Vintage Stickers & Seals
Originally issued back in the mid-20th century for 15¢ a package, these authentically old gummed (water-activated) stickers are as vibrantly colored - probably chromolithographed die-cuts. We are always delighted to find these vintage items for you!
Due to their age, we suggest you test the gummed seals before wetting them - or, to be safe, use an additional adhesive of your own.
Made by the famous Dennison Company, each packet contains 20 seals - all peaches.
The vibrant colors are reminiscent of the old die cut chromolithographs. These are truly special and in great condition. Some of the packages have been stapled together. We did not disturb or open the packs for an official count - we like to provided them to you as we originally receive them. So, there may be a few missing from some of the packs, but we don't think so.
Each package has been stamped on the back with:
REMER'S OFFICE SUPPLY 29207 Gratiot 1 Blk. No. of 12 Mile Roseville, Mich. 48066 Phone 778-3446
These are old store stock and would make a fun addition to a summer picnic invitation.

Olive Krausbouillion - Old Fashioned Crinkle Wire Metal Tinsel
Available in Red, Silver & Black, Too
Old-fashioned crinkle wire, just like the tinsel used on antique European holiday ornaments. Use it as is or stretch it out and use it in its crinkly form. Wrap it around your project, bunch it up it up, just play with it. You might even want to use it as a curly tinsel garland for a feather tree!
SilverCrow offers our olive Krausbouillion in generous 1/2-ounce packages. Although silver Krausbouillion is the traditional color used in most older European ornaments, we think that you'll be able to fashion some wonderful newer ornaments with this fun olivine crinkle wire, too!
The original Krausbouillion is made in Germany and Austria. Ours is made by a modernized process that plates copper wire, so it is less expensive. It's quite beautiful and lends old world elegance to any project.

Vintage Lenticular "Winky" Hula Dancers
More Lenticulars
This is a really neat VariVue Motion Lenticular. This delightful pair of hula girls dances in black and white. It is a mint or near-mint condition vintage late 1950s / early 1960s authentic Vari-Vue of two Hawaiian hula dancers at night under a full moon.
Both dancers sway to the rhythm of the silent music. Uniquely, their entire bodies move back and forth, with arms swinging up and down and back and forth. These are truly remarkable effects that are best viewed in person, of course! This little piece is quite sturdy and measures 1-1/4 inch across by just about 1 inch. tall. A Great item!

Tiny Garden (or Houseplant) Flamingo
Lawn icons like the (in)famous flamingo are not for the feint of heart or the easily embarrassed. If you are a fan of these fun flamingos, but too timid to plant the originals firmly in your lawn, consider hiding one or two of our mini-flamingos in your yard. You'll know they're there, even if the neighbors and passers-by don't notice them.
These little birds are really meant to add whimsy to your houseplants or flower boxes, but, like the one pictured, we love them in the yard! It measures about 3 inches and the base legs add another 2-1/2 inches.

Delightful Little Paper Roses
Also Available as an All White Bouquet
Each gorgeous little bouquet contains 12 hand-made paper roses in a selection of festive colors. No two bouquets are the same, but better yet - no two roses are the same. These are made with love and care by artisans in Mexico for celebrations such as the Day of the Dead.
The tiny stems are wrapped and some even have extra leaves. We have shown several dozen in the picture for illustration only. These are individual roses that may be easily removed from the bouquet by untwisting the stems. Most buds are about 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide.

Art Postcard - High Style
At 10 feet wide and 36 feet long, plus LIVABILITY, this High Style trailer in all its aluminum and color, was quite the looker made by Henslee, the leader in Quality Construction and Fine Interior Appointments. This is all from the advertisement on the back of this kitschy card from the mid-20th century.
Featuring a photo of the full length of a wonderful trailer and the family enjoying it on the front, a floor plan is included on the back. Of course, it's nostalgic, but what a great little invitation for a Bon Voyage party!

From a vintage postcard of a miniature golf village in Marathon, Florida comes this super large gold fish!

Kite-Shaped Nicho
More Nichos
Our Kite Nicho is quite different from all of our others. It has a more modern shape and feeling than many of the traditional nichos. The kite is made with the same attention to detail and with the age-old tradition of tinsmithing in Mexico.
We were particularly enamored with the crescent concha design debossed into the the top of the nicho. Especially appropriate for summer memories, we know you'll be as charmed as we are!

Silver Duke Kahanamoku Surfer Pendant
Surfers and beachcombers alike will covet this wonderful silver pendant with a sepia reproduction photo of the greatest surfer of them all - Duke Paoa Kahinu Mokoe Hulikohola Kahanamoku! Although he won gold and silver swimming medals in the early 20th century Olympics, he is best known as the father of modern surfing and surfboards.
Also well known for his charity works with the Red Cross, Duke's (or Paoa, as he is known in his native Hawaii) memory is cherished by many.
Even if you are not a surfer and just love vintage photos, the summer or Hawaii, you'll be delighted with this wonderful pendant. What a perfect winter gift as well - helping to keep the warm spirit of Hawaii alive throughout the year:
Mahape a ale wala'ua - Don't talk, keep it in your heart
We loved this so much we are giving them as gifts ourselves. The pendant (not including the bail) measures a bit over 1 inch high by about 1/2 inch wide.

She makes a perfect addition to a Spring basket or a vacation gift, or, of course just the right thing for all of your Flamingo-collecting friends!

Candy-Kini
Perfect for that summer bachelorette party - a candy-kini. We couldn't help but laugh out loud when we saw this. The package says one size fits most - but we're skeptical - it might fit, but just how will it look? Well, that would be a personal thing!
Made by the makers of candy necklaces of the same crunchy candy as the candy necklaces, our candy-kini comes as a set, each piece boxed separately. Of course, this candy will dissolve when in the water too long and will disappear once the candy is eaten!
