Each charm measures 7/8 inch high (including the hanging hole) and 7/8 inch wide at the base. Because of the nature of an anchor, you might also choose to use the hanging hole as a way to attach this handsome piece to an assemblage or altered art project as well.

Large Antiqued Bronze Airplane Charm

We love greyhounds and this little charm is no exception. S/he must be retired as s/he walking stealthily along. Bo-Bo Duke (generally a lovely boy), is such a stealthy sneak - especially when he suspects there to be new cat food available- he sneaks up to get it.
He measures 7/8 inch from tail to nose and almost 3/4 inch high.

Vintage Style Brass Telescoping Monocular Pendant

Vintage Travel Slides for 35mm Projectors and Pana-Vue Viewers - Package of 5 Assorted
More Ephemera
Back in the 1950s and 1960s, these great sets of 5 slides were sold in most souvenir shops. Slide shows of touring vacations were all the rage. People would have cocktail parties to show off their vacations on slides. Even an original Twilight Zone episode was written about such an evening.
We have acquired a selection of these souvenir slides in their original packages. Some have marks on the tops of the packaging, others are in more pristine condition. None of the of the slides have been removed from the original packages. What we found interesting in some of the numbered slides is that they are not in numerical order.
The slide companies range from GAF to Panorama, to Plastichrome and more. Each set is different from the next. Please let us choose a set for you.

The fading and discoloration on these transfers is so perfectly real, you just couldn't fake the same type of aging - unless you were a master at it, of course!
Measuring 2-1/2 inches wide by 5 inches high, each of these was printed in blue ink on inexpensive paper, so it's unbelievable how long these have lasted! We were told they are from the 1960s or earlier.
Each transfer is the same. There are no numbers. These would have been stamped or written in.

More Reproductions
This report was originally published in 1868 on the progress of the Pacific Union Rail Road, west from Omaha, Nebraska. It lists everything from the officers of the company through the costs, the benefits and the connecting roads. There are some really great timely illustrations and the chapter titles feature beautiful calligraphy of the times.
On the back, it features an advertisement for the purchase of their mortgage bonds at $1,000 each - imagine! That would be approximately $15,800 each in 2010 dollars!
There are clear and concise descriptions of the difficulties encountered during the construction and their are accounts from many sources from company men to reporters.
Though its aim was to raise mortgage bonds for the company, it reflects the vitality and drive typical of the American spirit, where anything is possible.
This facsimile reproduction is in paperback form, printed clearly on its 48 pages. The book measures 8-1/4 inches by 5-7/8 inches

Le Petit Prince Adieu... Antiqued Bronze Charm

Rubber Stamp with the Same Sentiment in English
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry wrote The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince) in 1943. It is beloved even more today than when it was written. Ostensibly a children's book, there are so many instances in the writings that might be meant for adults to learn - perhaps to be young again.
This sweet little charm features the fox, who rightly explains an essential part of life to the Little Prince. The charm reads:
Adieu, dit le renard… Voici mon secret Il est très simple on ne voit bien qu’avec le coeur L’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.
* Le Petit Prince
In English:
Goodbye, said the fox And now here is my secret a very simple secret It is only with the heart that one can see rightly what is essential is invisible to the eye.
* The Little Prince
We love the offset nature of the quote and the fact that the charm features holes at the top and the bottom - so, it might act as a connector for an additional charm or bead at the bottom. On the back, the charm reads (beneath a simple star), Little Prince.
We're showing two charms to illustrate the front and back.
The charm is finished in an antiqued gold or bronze and measures 1-7/8 inch high - including the loop and 13/16 inch wide.

The little prince was still not satisfied. "If I own a scarf, I can tie it around my neck and take it away. If I own a flower, I can pick it and take it away. But you can't pick the stars!" ... "I own a flower myself," he continued, "which I water every day." ... ...it's useful to my flower, that I own it. But you're not useful to the stars."

We're wondering if the reindeer are far behind. Santa must have some express deliveries, because we found him in this wonderful reproduction cardboard die cut - full of fun and glitter.
Our pressed cardboard die-cut Santa Claus in his Airplane is just as much fun as the vintage ones and will work nicely as an addition to old-fashioned Christmas décor. It has been created from vintage molds and made in the same manner as the original in the 1930s. It is lacquer painted and delightfully glittered with diamond dust and real silver glitter that will tarnish with time, so it will have an even older feel! Inside the wings, is an intricately die cut and glittered message:
A MERRY CHRISTMAS
From wingtip to wingtip, it measures about 11 inches. From tail to propeller it is about 8-5/8 inches. And from the wheel to the top of Santa's cap, it measures 5-1/2 inches.

Not all memories fit nicely between page protectors. With the Biography 101, you can secure your photos, postcards, letters, etc. into the album. But, even better, you can use the shadow box for keeping that special dimensional memorabilia.
The design is so clever - it can stand open on a shelf, table or piano - so you can share your special memories in an elegant fashion. Or, if you prefer to secretly treasure those memories, the suitcase is quite attractive closed and stacked amongst your books.
The album itself arrives with 10 standard page protectors, and buckles snugly into the case. The 3-inch window on its front lets you highlight your favorite photo or allows you to title your work.
The sample illustration was created to preserve the first baby items of a little girl.
On the other side, the shadow box offers a hinged door with ribbon closure. The album and treasure shadow box are both acid-free and lignin-free. We are especially fond of the canvas covered carrying case that resembles a suitcase. Wonderful for any memory project or even for altered art, we think it a magnificent way to preserve your travel memories!

More Saint Patrick and Things of Ireland
More Babies
Saint Patrick was actually born on the British mainland and then kidnapped and shipped to Ireland as a slave, working in the mountains as a shepherd. Saint Patrick is often associated with driving the snakes from Ireland. While it is true that there are no snakes in Ireland, this may be more mythical, representing his effort in converting the Irish.
Saint Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland and of many individual churches and dioceses throughout the United States. He is patron to those in fear of snakes (ophidiophobics), those who have been bitten by snakes, and of excluded people, and of engineers.
Saint Bridget (aka, St. Brigid) was a great lover of the poor. She was born to a Lord of Ireland, who arranged a marriage for her. Determined to create a life of devotion to God, she pled her case to the bishop who arranged for her to take her vows quickly. She was quite beautiful and it is said that she denounced her beauty and prayed to have it taken from her so that no man would be attracted to her. Her prayers were answered until her vows were taken - and then she re-gained her beauty. Some say that Saint Patrick himself was the bishop who heard her final vow.
Saint Bridget is that Patron Saint of Travelers as she set up so many convents throughout Ireland despite the terrible conditions of the 5th and 6th centuries when she live. She is also patron to babies, fugitives and sailors.
Our lovely medal is made of silvery metal in Italy.

New York Central Railroad Company Mortgage Gold Bond Seals - Package of 5 Seals
These wonderful seals were issued by railroad companies for over a century to help fund the rail roads. These particular coupons or seals were issued in the 1970s and arrive in folded, but uncut sets of 5 seals. Each seal has a different serial number and the seals are for different dollar amounts.
The common information reads:
ON THE FIRST DAY OF AUG. 1978
THE NEW YORK CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY, SUCCESSFULLY CONSOLIDATED TO THE NEW YORK CENTRAL AND HUDSON RIVER RAILROAD COMPANY
WILL PAY TO THE BEARER, AT ITS OFFICE OR AGENCY IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN CITY OF NEW YORK $20 GOLD COIN OF THE UNITED STATES, WITHOUT DEDUCTION FOR TAXES SPECIFIED IN THE BOND BEING SIX MONTHS INTEREST TEN DUE ON ITS FOUR PER CENT. CONSOLIDATION MORTGAGE GOLD BOND, SERIES A No.25419.
These were created by the American Bank Note Company of New York. The dates are listed through the 1990s, but were created in the 1970s. The numbers, dates and the amounts will vary per set and from set to set.
Typically these coupons or seals were cut and redeemed for the face amount. We believe these to be worthless in terms of exchange. However, they are wonderful pieces of ephemera. Who knows, maybe they're real after all!

Embossed Die Cut Reproduction - Young Sailors
Such young boys with dreams adrift were not uncommon in Victorian times. The sea may still be in the blood of some such lads, but it is far to easy to reach the foreign lands of dreams today. These young masters will have gone down to the sea and ships once more when you use them in your découpage and artwork.
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 expert die cutting.

Transparent Compass that opens!
More Collage and Assemblage
More Components
These cool transparent compasses are ungraduated (they have no markings). That means you can add your own. Consider labeling these in all different ways - perhaps with ME, YOU, THEM, NOBODY, instead of North, South, East and West. Or, what ever you can imagine.
These are 3/4 inch in diameter and open up so that you can add your own directions. Be careful so that you don't loose the little needle or pointer when you take them apart. We found it best to use tweezers to reposition the pointer after opening. How much fun can you have with these? Make up your own game, specialty jewelry and more. Each compass is flat-backed for easy gluing.
These are magnetic compasses - so they really work, but you'll not know what direction they indicate unless you use another compass to determine it. Please don't use this for real positioning unless you really know what you're doing.

Packet of 3 Vintage Train Station Flash Cards
Before there were electronic memorization tools and scheduling systems, the station managers and clerks along the railways had to memorize stations, schedules and stops just to do their jobs. These cards list trains, stations and stops and were created for the novice to learn the ropes. Some even have notes jotted in pencil on either side. Although we don't recognize most of the place names, we believe them to be in Pennsylvania. The cards are roughly the size of business cards: 3-1/8 inches by 1-11/16 inch.

Happy Trails to You (Hand-Pressed Token)
THE WONDER OF IT ALL Pocket Token
At a carnival in the 1950s, I made one of these wonderful tokens on a very special mechanical device. After thinking for what seemed to be ages of just the right sentiment, I impressed my name.
I fell in love with mechanical - non computerized - machines and treasure every old fashioned one I find. Although we don't have our own impression machine, our buddy, Tom, does and he made this wonderful token for us:
HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU
We think these as wonderful wedding souvenir, or for retirement, graduation and just about any day you want to wish anyone well!
These machines are no longer manufactured, but you can find them few and far between at old-time amusement parks and other special places.
Each token is made one-at-a-time - and - get this - Tom has to impress one-character-at-a-time! Amazing!
Add a simple ball chain key chain or necklace to compliment that old-fashioned feeling.
Each silvery token measures about 1-1/4 inch in diameter and features a four-leaf clover or horseshoe in the center, surrounded by the words:
GOOD LUCK

Vintage Eastern Airlines Wings
More Vintage Stuff
Vintage Junior Pilot Wings
From around 1960, these wonderful wing pins were originally given away to children flying on Eastern Airlines to make the flight a bit more fun. Never used, the pins are made of heavy hard plastic, allowing them to hold up a bit better. These are from the collection of a former Eastern Airlines employee. Each pin measures 2-5/8 inches wide.
Eastern Airlines was a prominent carrier in its time. Originating in 1926, the airline suffered bankruptcy in 1991, without reorganizing and never recovered.
Because these are old-store stock, we do not know the origin or content of the materials, so, please use caution with children.

Shall We Dance? Notecard
Book by Susan Mrosek
Susan Mrosek is the astonishing artist of these absolutely wonderful cards! Ah! Romance! The sentiment reads,
"Shall we dance?" he inquired, removing his hat. He was tall, thin and hollowly attractive. I said yes, and from that moment on, centered my attention on Samuel's feet. The dance never ended...we made it all the way to Beijing.
The wonderful print of the watercolor painting illustrates this so very expressively on the notecard, which of course is accompanied by an envelope.

Art Postcard - Seemannsloss (Sailors)
More Dogs
Further Journeys
We love Michael Sowa's artwork. With a bit of whimsy mixed with philosophy and thoughtfulness, he often provides us with sleepless nights - just wondering what the story behind them image might be!
From the imaginative mind of artist Michael Sowa, this implausible quartet of German Shepherds appears to be lost at see in a slight rowboat without any paddles. Just what are they doing?
Wouldn't this make a great card for a short Bon Voyage note? Or, a note for a sailor, dog lover, water baby or anyone?
Sowa's art evokes wonder and amazement; a mix of surrealism and comic illustration, of humor and seriousness.

St Christopher Medal
Saint Christopher has long been known as the protector and well known as a patron of the traveler. His legend is mighty: As a powerfully built man, he was enamoured with the world and set off in search of adventure. At one point during his journey, he came upon a hermit who assisted people across a treacherous stream. He decided to also assist these people, but instead of leading them across, he carried them on his sturdy shoulders.
One day he carried a small child across the stream. Although it was just a child, the weight nearly crushed him. When they arrived on the other side, the child revealed himself as Christ, and he was so heavy because he bore the weight of the world.
Two medals shown for illustration.

This fun token measures 5/8 inch in diameter and is perfect for any New York themed jewelry project. It is substantial enough to hold its own on a charm bracelet or necklace, but light enough to work for earrings as well.

Two tokens are shown in the photograph to illustrate both sides. One side reads:
NEW YORK CITY TRANSIT AUTHORITY

Old-Time Aviator Reproduction Paper Mask
More Masks More Hallowe'en
From about 1901 (right after the Victorian period) up to about 1910, or even as late as 1918 (after World War I), British society suffered a very rigid system, despite the new philosophies and politics floating about. The want (and need) for more liberal thought and a move for greater social acceptance of all British started despite the seemingly unmovable morés at the time.
The Edwardian Period was also known as the Belle Époque (Beautiful Era), a time for elegant masquerade balls with gorgeous gowns and absurd masks such as this, our out older aviator.
The mask arrives flat and is simple to wear with black ribbon on either side for securing your mask. It measures about 10-1/2 inches.

Travel Journal Notebook
Settle in to the seat of a DC8 in Pan Am's Clipper Class, or the leather chair in your SS Normandie stateroom.
This large (5-3/4 by 8-1/4 inches) notebook journal feels like it was lost in time and was just found last week in a box purchased at a storage or estate auction. Its vintage-style cover appears as worn green velvet, with drawings, stamps and tags that speak of creating images in our minds are found on the inside and outside of the covers. It intimates that e might visit this image later as we walk through the memories of our minds.
Inside pages are lightly lined and perforated, with a red and black header, complete with airliner:

Vintage Jiggers Soldering Kit
More Kits
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!

Art Postcard - Yippie-Yi-Yay
Oops! It looks like these cowgirls lost their horse/s! But it sure looks like a blast - real or not! Typical of many of the novelty photos that were available on Route 66 in the mid-20th century, this snapshot gives us a glimpse into simpler times.

Reproduction Parchment - Map of the World in 1651
Geographical Map Inspired Rubber Stamps
How wonderful this reproduction map would be in a special frame - or even for wrapping paper. We love these reproduction documents, not just for their style, but also for their historical value and the perspective they give us - how different the modern world is: even our production style and attention to detail in an artistic manner - is it lost?
This reproduction historical document is created with a proprietary 11-step process to make it look and feel old. We love these documents not just for their intended decorative value, but to use as gift wrap, or to write on the reverse side - a love letter perhaps!
The document will arrive rolled.

Art Postcard - Dream Street
This stunning black and white postcard by famed photojournalist W Eugene Smith evokes a million dreams itself! Why the car? Was there a letter? The remarkable composition and dramatic use of light and shadows are signs f an artist, not merely one who documents the day.
Taken in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1956, the image is timeless.

Barbara Kruger: Untitled (Admit nothing- Blame everyone - Be bitter), 1987
Be certain to check out the Close-Up of this one!
Barbara Kruger is an American conceptual artist whose roots are in media and design. Her edgy collages are derived from found photographs (mostly culled from the sources she most derides in her work). Subsequent layers display her epigrams, pithy and arrogantly assertive.
Her tongue-in-cheek style is at once humorous and contemplative, sarcastic and true. This is certainly evident on this finely made art postcard print.
This is SilverCrow's favorite of her works!
Recycled and Reinforced Royal Mail Bag
More Recycled & Green Products
More Bags (& Boxes)
These are the best! We buy things from all over the world and have seen all kinds of packaging, but we're truly enamoured with these. Made from reinforced plastic, some of these are in perfect condition, others have some flaws - there is even an occasional hole in one of them.
We have friends who have made outdoor pillows, cosmetic bags, messenger bags and more from these - how kitschy.
The bags measure 20 by 40 inches - and are sewn as bags.
