Korda "Crystal Gazer" Brooch
- $100.00
This fabulous brooch is one of the pieces of jewelry inspired by the 1941 movie "The Thief of Bagdad". The movie was produced by Alexander Korda - the jewelry was manufactured by Rice-Wiener. Seen elsewhere at over $300.00!!!
The brooch is a terrific large "Crystal Gazer"! On the back is a plate marked with "THIEF OF BAGDAD KORDA (C)" with "113" on the left and "61" on the right.
This brooch is quite large, measuring 2 1/2" high by 1 14/16" wide. The Genie has Excellent detail - his robes and turban are decorated with stars and crescent moons - the details of his face and hands are very well defined! The brooch is also quite heavy, because of the weight of the crystal ball!
The crystal ball is in perfect shape, with NO chips or cracks. It is a pale yellow glass which can be rotated in its setting! Overall, this FABULOUS, RARE Korda "Thief of Bagdad" brooch is in excellent shape and would make a glorious addition to any jewelry collection or a collection of Movie Memoriabilia!
Grif Teller - Pennsylvania
Railroad 1932 - $40.00
Grif Teller (American),
Pennsylvania Railway poster; 17 3/4" x 24 1/2"
Signed and dated 1932 on the bottom right corner of the print.
The painting shows a great Giant of a locomotive barreling straight to the
onlooker at great speed! Makes one wonder what it must have felt like to be a
passenger in one of the many cars carried along at that pace. The strength of
the massive Engine is very evident in this painting! This print would look
absolutely fabulous mounted in a frame of that Golden Era of
the Iron Giants!
Mounted on dark posterboard; the board looks
of the same age as the print. Minor wrinkles in image and minor nibbles on
border (as any unframed
poster of this age would show). No sun damage, has not been near direct
sunlight. Has a bit of a golden "patina"- from age and from having been in a smoker's home.
Antebellum Era Earrings - $50.00
Civil War Era - Black Octagonal Glass Wafers with Pressed & Chased Gold Embellishment. The wires and backs are also gold, but not marked. The gold is a rose color, usually seen in antique jewelry - and very lovely! Scan is a bit fuzzy, sorry. Can send jpg, if you ask.
Folding Hair & Nails Kit
-
$10.00
Circa 1910-1930. This little kit is covered with a Cabbage Rose patterned Chintz. No need to carry a big handbag with this sweet item! The items inside are all celluloid: Fine comb, Cuticle pusher & Fingernail Cleaner. The mirror is beveled and in fine condition, as are all the other items in the kit. The fabric is worn at the corners, but not as worn as it should be for its age! The fabric is quite soft, smooth to the touch, and has a polished surface. The celluloid items are smooth and free of any celluloid disease, dirt, or crazing.
