Item 26 to 50 of 95
Antique Miniature Portrait Marie Antoniette Oil Ivory French
Amazing detail appears to be oil on ivory. Wonderful large hat, cascading curls and lace details. Ivory has cracked into an upside down Y shape, see close-ups. Old paper backing is glued onto ivory case. I am unwilling to remove it, to see if there's a signature. There is no additional backing, what you see in pictures is what there is. It displays nicely despite the flaw. This is my best price as I've taken the condition into consideration. Size painting 1.5 inches diameter, frame 2.25 inches.

Vintage Mexican Sterling Silver Cufflinks Signed

Antique Copper Brass Punch Cups Lot of 9
These cups are unmarked, but of fine quality. Note the beautiful brass ring base. I will guess these to be mid-1800s. Brass handles and bases are very secure on all cups. Great old copper patina on 8 cups. The ninth looks like it was polished clean, but is begining to get patina again. Some very old repairs to copper, with a silver color on some cups. No obvious dents (reflections in pictures are misleading), two or three small dings, total. These are heavy - each cup aprox 6 ounces. 2.75 inches high x 3.5 inch lip diameter.

Listen to Your Mother! Funny BW Photo
Listen to your mother, or there may be dire consequences! Black and white photograph, 3.5x4.5inches. Written on back, Grand Junction Michigan, Aug 19, 1934 and old processing mark 519. There is a scribble of some sort in the picture which shows that this is probably a picture made from a picture (the scribble is part of the original). It looks like the reprint was made in the 1960s. this is glossy BW, but flash on camera makes it look yellow. It is not.

MOD Vintage 1960s Barbie Japan Doll Midge Barbie Mark
The body says Midge and Barbie and foot is marked Japan. I think it is Dark Ash Blonde Long Hair Barbie. I'm not an expert at all! The hair is a light brown, not a dark brunette and not blonde. Eyes are blue, eyebrowns light brown(paint is great on both), Eyelashes are all there on right eye, mostly there on left eye. No earring holes, no green, no cracks. Hair is still glossy, would be fine except it's been "slept on" for 40 years, so stands up on it's own. There is no sign of any blush on cheeks and her face looks thinner to me than samples on the Net. Torso is hard pink.IT DOES NOT TWIST. Legs and arms more darker, rubber feel. They are dirty. I don't think the legs bend. Feet are nice, unchewed, with tiny bit of red nail polish still visible. Fingers are good, also with original polish visible. Only obvious flaws are on her face. She has a nick out beneath her right eye. And right ear is a little nibbled or scratched. Gives her a punk look! Looks a little sad. Looking for a home. Needs a touch up on her slightly open lips. I don't know if her legs bend. There are no joints and I'm afraid to bend. I obviously know very little about these things so don't know exactly what you need to know. Just email if any questions. This is AS IS, since I've described everything I can think of regarding condition. If you have any questions, give me time to respond before you buy. I bought this from an estate sale, the women who owned this were in their 40's/50's and this was there parents home. That was about 8 years ago. Just getting around to listing!
