Vintage Pressed Glass Charm - Deep Cobalt Blue Stylized Dog

More Charms
More Vintage Items
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.

Captain Mickey Mouse has found himself up in space. But, as usual, he has everything under control!
These are old store stock that have never been used. You might have to maneuver the pin a bit when you decide to wear it. These are pretty sturdy so that should not be a problem. The pin measures 1 inch in diameter.
These are from an old warehouse in Brooklyn and were never distributed. They are in good condition for a novelty from the 1960s.
Because these are unmarked with origin, we believe them to be made in the USA, but we cannot be sure.

More French
This tiny golden poodle pin is a real cutie! His ears and legs have lovely red enamel accents. Don't pass up this kitschy little accent for any French card! Add it to a ribbon on a poodle-lover's present, or just wear it for a brighter day.
Pins like these were very popular from the 1940s through the 1960s, maybe even a bit later. They were sold at the old five and ten cent stores (or five and dimes). There used to be two of them in this small town in the 1950s. the wooden and glass cases were filled to the brim with all sorts of wonderful things - things even kids could buy for their moms - and nice enough that Mom could wear it proudly.
The features have been hand painted. Please allow for some variation, as you might expect from novelty products.
Sadly, these pins, along with the stores, have all but disappeared! We're happy to offer you some of the kitschy little items we've been able to re-find. We hope they engender the wonderful nostalgic feelings in you as they did in us.

Antiqued Silver Fire Hydrant Charm (or End Cap)

Including the hanging loop, the charm measures 3/4 inch and 1/4 inch in diameter (at the bottom)
The hydrant itself is quite sturdy - even though the center is hollow, allowing it to double as an end cap if you wish. This additionally allows the charm to sit on a flat surface nicely for use in a memory box or ofrenda as well.

Each charm is hand finished and measures 3/4 inch wide by 7/8 inch high. This is a flat charm which almost makes it appear as a petroglyph of sorts. This little fellow might be facing either way.

Coyotes are often pictured howling at the moon. This one is running, for which the trickster is known as well. S/he can even leap up to 14 feet and can run as fast as 30 miles per hour. Swift and intelligent, many people feel that this dog-relative is their spirit animal.
The ornament is embossed and hand-cut, then tinted by hand, so each is slightly different than the next.
This interesting tin ornament has been created by Mexican artisans in the old tradition and then hand painted or adorned. The tin is embossed and debossed for effect and this helps to make the coyote appear as though s/he is already jumping gracefully.

Small Hand-Carved Alebrijes Dog
More Wooden Things
Alebrijes are created in Oaxacan region of Mexico and have been for years! The carvings have been created by the same families, with the traditions and techniques passed down from generation to generation for decades.
The pieces are lightweight because they are carved from copal - a soft wood that is prevalent on the Mexican landscape. Pieces are then painted in bright colors and patterns evocative of the lively colors traditionally associated with Mexican homes and artwork. The carvers feel that the figures will bring the owners good luck!
Our little dogs are hand-carved and decorated in bright shades of red with black spots. They are similar to the two pictured but might be sitting or standing in any position. We just love their comical expressions!
All of the dogs are similar in size - but will vary depending on the tail position. From snout to tail they vary from 3-1/2 inches to 5-1/2 inches and from ground to ear or tail (whichever is higher), they measure from 2-3/4 inches to 4 inches high.

Tootoo is a good voodoo doggie who sniffs out secrets and truth. With Tootoo's help, you will always have a keen sense of office (or other) politics. Each Lumi measures 2-1/2 inches by about 1-1/2 inch.
Each VooDoo Baby is hand-writhed from a single string of cotton thread. Amazingly, there is no wire inside the doll to support the structure. The creation of each VooDooBaby takes not only excellent artisanship, but also a great deal of attention, patience and care. They are an expression of imagination, creativity and appreciation and are not for real and possess no curse effect whatsoever - but wouldn't it be nice if they could?
Tootoo comes in either light or dark brown. We will try to honor your choice as best we can, but we cannot promise that we'll have both colors on hand, so please let us choose one for you if we don't have your first choice. Two Tootoos are shown for illustration.

Book of Dogs & Poker Postcards
This gang sure looks like it's been a tough, but fun, night - gambling, drinking and smoking and who knows what they have planned for later.
We were quite taken by this funny postcard - as we are by all dogs playing poker - because of a painting from long, long ago. Our veterinarian was way out in the country - it seemed so many miles away when I was a little girl - but it was only about 5 miles. Dr. McClement was the kindest gentlest man and I was in awe of his knowledge about cats, dogs, birds, horses and even our ducks, turtles and white mice!
Doc's walls were filled with these portraits and I think I really believed that he secretly held card parties for his patients!

St Rock (aka St Roch) - Patron Saint of Dogs & More - Charm or Medal
More Medals & Milagros
More Get Well Wishes
This lovely medal is just about 1 inch long and 5/8 inch long. St Roch (also known as St Rock, St Rocco and St Roque) was a French nobleman who was known for tending to the sick and the poor. He was able to miraculously cure so very many, but, alas contracted the plague himself. Not wanting to infect anyone else, he set off to the forest to die.
He was befriended by a dog who stole scraps of food from the family table and fed them to St Rock in the forest. He was able to recover with thanks to the dog, so his image generally shows a dog by his side. St Rock was falsely accused for being spy and spent the rest of his life in jail. He was tended to by an angel while imprisoned.
St Rock is the patron of those who are sick with the plague, cholera and other such afflictions, as well as skin and knee problems. His other patronages include the protection of falsely accused people and invalids.
He is best known as the beloved patron saint of dogs, falsely accused people and invalids.
On the back the medal reads: Pray for Us with a wildflower beside the wording.
We're showing two medals to illustrate the front and back.

This magical little perro is hand-carved of wood and then expertly painted in Mexico by traditional Oaxacan artisans. The detail is tremendous on each of our dogs. Even the little seat is painted sweetly. Each is signed by the artist as well (sometimes this is hidden in the carving, so look carefully!). The dogs each measure about 3 inches high by 2-1/2 inches wide - maybe a little more for the tails!
Because each is made by hand in Oaxaca, Mexico, your puppy will be entirely unique. Colors, painting and facial expressions differ. And each little doggie is holding something - like a bottle, a horn or other instrument.! So please let us choose one for you.
Sometimes the tail is wrapped separately (the little fellow holds it between his arms), so that they don't break. It should be relatively easy to place the tail properly. So, please unwrap your dog with care.

Shiny Copper Milagro Honoring San Martin de Porres
More Milagros, Amulets & Medals
This striking Shiny Copper Milagro features an elegant stamping of beloved San Martin de Porres. Each milagro is hand-made and is approximately 1-1/2 inches wide by a bit over 2 inches tall and features a satin ribbon at the top.
San Martin was the illegitimate son of a Spanish nobleman and young freed black slave, Anna Velasquez. Rejected by his parents, he grew up in poverty and was cared for by a surgeon-barber from whom he learned to care for the infirm.
As a youngster, he began to work for the Holy Rosary Dominican Brothers in Lima, Peru. Because of his devotion to the poor and his other good works, he changed the nature of the Priory's rules and the brothers dropped the stipulation that "no black person may be received to the holy habit or profession of our Order”. San Martin took his vows in 1603.
He is well know for his creation of an orphanage and children's hospital. He also established a shelter for the stray cats and dogs and nursed them back to health.
San Martin is a beloved saint throughout the Americas. His followers are from all walks of life, all financial backgrounds and all races. Many miracles have been attributed to him.
San Martin is usually pictured with a broom, showing his willingness to work hard and with a dog, cat and mouse all eating from the same bowl. His austere lifestyle is venerated by many.
He is the patron of all races and particularly of mixed-race individuals. He is also patron to the poor, to public education and health care.
These stunning milagros (miracles) make the perfect accent for art projects as well as for their intended devotion in honor of San Martin.

There are so very many ways to find a pet. But what we love most is when our pets rescue us. There are rescue groups for just about every purebred dog and the animal shelters rescue so many other dogs of the Heinz-57 variety. But, we believe that the dogs rescue us - not the other way around.
Dolly, our Dalmatian, and Bo-Bo Duke and Flossie, our retired racing greyhounds have rescued us more than once. Because our lives are so very much more hectic with them around, we forget about our troubles - what more could anyone ask?!
This charm measures just a touch over 3/4 inch in diameter and features a nice sized hole at the top for attaching to just about anything - from a collar, to a bracelet, a cell phone or even a zipper.
We love the simple greyhound silhouette at the bottom of the charm. But, it surely could represent any running canine!

Saint Francis of Assisi & the Wolf Medal
More Medals, Amulets and Milagros
Beloved by even those who do not usually venerate the saints, St Francis of Assisi was not only known for his devotion to God, but also for his kindness to animals and his peacefulness for all creatures, including humans.
This traditional medal measures 1 inch high by 1/2 inch wide. It was made in Italy and is made of modern pewter (no lead). On the front, an image of the venerable Saint Francis and a wolf is portrayed in 3D. On the back, the medal reads:
Pray for Us.
On the front,
Saint Francis
The story of St Francis and the Wolf is a great learning experience for all of us. Legend has it that St Francis was visiting a town that had been besieged by a wild wolf. Not only did the wolf kill the town's pets, but also livestock and other wild animals - and people. No one ventured past the town's boundaries for fear of being mauled or killed.
St Francis volunteered to go reason with the wolf and a local friar and some of the townspeople. Not everyone had the strength of belief in God's protection as did St Francis, so his entourage dwindled as he approached the forest.
Only he and the friar were left as the wolf charged from behind the trees, mouth open, ready to strike. St Francis made the Sign of the Cross, and, much to everyone's surprise, the wolf stopped in his tracks.
The saint explained to the wolf that he had been terrorizing the town, the animals, the people. He asked the wolf to make a pact with him to end such behavior and to become friendly with the humans, who were created in the image of God. Then, St Francis asked the wolf and the townsfolk to both agree to forgive the past and move on.
Unbelievably, the wolf moved towards St Francis and nodded his head. Then St Francis offered his hand and the wolf extended his front paw into the saint's hand. St Francis then invited the wolf to accompany him back to town. Meekly, the wolf agreed. St Francis, wolf at his side, entered the town and offered the people a lesson, taught by the wolf. He called upon the people to repent their sins and offered them peace amongst themselves and that other creature of God, the wolf.
The townspeople made a pact to keep the wolf fed and not to hurt him. In return, the wolf agreed to be peaceful as well. For two years, the wolf went from door to door, accepting food from the people of the town. Even the local dogs treated the wolf warmly, never barking.
The wolf's peaceful ways were a living reminder of the wonders of God and the patience, virtue and holiness of St Francis. When the wolf died of old age, he was mourned, but his memory was a reminder of the power and providence of the living God.
This lovely story may or may not be true, but certainly, we can see the wolf as a representation of the beloved animals in our lives.
This medal is just the right size to hang on your dog's collar or to wear on your bracelet or necklace as a reminder of the devotion of our pets to us.

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.

Icon Style Holy Cards - St Francis of Assisi
More Holy Cards & Trading Cards
Milagros & Medals
We were quite taken with the icon-style print of Saint Francis that was used for this very special holy card. Saint Francis lived from 1182 through 1226 and is the founder of the Franciscan Order. He is one of the most famous and beloved saints of the Catholic Church. He renounced worldly wealth, preaching the importance of simplicity and poverty based on the ideals of the Gospel. He was known for his love of nature and animals, especially birds.
These lovely holy cards are a bit lighter weight than some others we offer, but the printing is absolutely outstanding. They are a convenient size for use as gifts or bookmarks - measuring 3-1/8 by 4-5/8 inches on heavy cream-colored paper. The back is blank except for a faint colophon at the bottom, leaving plenty of room for custom imprinting with your own message, or a place to write a note to a friend.

Vintage Embossed Die Cut Chromolithograph Scraps - Animal Wannabes
More Scraps, Dresdens & Die Cuts
From the mid-20th century, super cute scraps feature animals in professions and activities normally reserved for their human friends. There are bears, birds, monkeys and more bowling, juggling, delivering the mail and playing the banjo. Artists, musicians and waiters and more, offer their more humorous side for inclusion in your artworks. We're not sure whether we wannabe the animals or if they wannabe human.
As with many of the scraps and die cuts made in the 20th century, these are children in adult situations. The advent of space exploration in the 1950s and 1960s, led to many products such as these. Rather than intricately die cut motifs, these are nicely expressed vignettes that are die cut into shapes - probably meant for découpage. We're particularly attracted to the colors in this production - there is a special tone that makes the scraps seem older than they even really are!
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 shapes make these perfect for accenting boxes, pencil cups or other such items.

Merry-go-round animals were often very beautiful, so stunningly painted. The finest were made in America in the first two decades of the 20th century. They were carved in wood and elaborately painted. Carousel animals have great appeal for many of us, not only for their lifelikeness and artistry, but also because they remind us of the freshness of childhood.
It is, and was, a wonderful thing to be able to safely ride on the back of a wondrous greyhound such as this lovely fellow.

Carte de Bijoux - Crystal Dog Bone Pin
This delightful tack-back crystal dog bone pin is hard to resist! It arrives pinned to a wonderful fairy dog on a lovely large handmade collage-style card that reads
I love stylish people
This sweet little pooch has charmed the wings from a fairy or butterfly and wears a dainty crown as he sits upon his pillowy throne. The back of the card has room for you to personalize for a gift. But, we're warning you, you'll want one for yourself, too!

Save a Stray Silvery Charm
Best Friends Animal Society in Utah has a campaign against puppies. Oh, don't get them wrong, they love puppies as much as any dog lover. But their contention is that there are far too many stray dogs for us waiting for loving, forever homes - so why not save one for yourself. We can (almost) guarantee that you the stray will save you rather than the other way around!
Measuring 1-1/4 by 1/4 inch, it is perfect for a bracelet, but we like it even more as an extra add-on to a charm necklace celebrating animals. It is made of modern silvery pewter (containing no lead) and has a shabby chic appearance - perfect for its message.
Start a campaign yourself, and give some of these away, too. Or add it to a zipper on a jacket - or loop it on a cell phone or back pack!

silly mutt Button Bracelet
Our 7-1/2 inch bracelet is a touch kitschier than most! Images alternate between a scrappy Mutt and a lightning bolt on that super-special 50's blue background. When the lightening strikes you to show your rockabilly side, this is the perfect bracelet to adorn your coolest of wrists.
Each of the 7 charms is set in a bezel of white metal plated with antiqued sterling silver plate. An actual photograph is encapsulated in a washable, dry-cleanable, non-yellowing and non-scratch resin -- creating a glowing almost 3-D effect.
Ceramic Bone Bead
This little bone is perfect for your Day of the Dead art and jewelry, but also consider it for a dog bone! The ceramic bead is hand made and painted (white), so there is a bit of variance among beads.
Three beads shown for illustration only.

Art Postcard - Petey the Clown Dog
This sweet dog seems to have put up with a lot, evidencing the sad clown in us all. Taken by an unknown photographer around 1900, we named him Petey ourselves as he reminded us much of the old short movies of the early 20th century that were so overplayed on the Saturday mornings of the 1950s!
