Here’s a sneak preview of the some of the items

This week we are featuring a gorgeous antique charm bracelet that is a must have for your jewelry collection.  Charm bracelets are one of those pieces of jewelry that never go out of style – they are simply updated for the times.

Note the charm bracelet on actress Romy Schneider (popular in the 1950’s – 1970’s and best know for her work in the “Sissi” trilogy).

And here is Mary-Kate Olsen flaunting some modern charm bracelets:

The bracelet we are featuring is from the late nineteenth-century (height of the Victorian era) and makes a great vintage addition to your collection.  The bracelet is gold filled and measures 7″ in length (note one charm is detached from the bracelet, but easily fixable).

Check out the pictures below and visit our eBay site for more photos and description...the auction is open and bidding ends on Tuesday, January 19.

Though Winter Solstice has passed and the days are slowly growing longer, there is still plenty of dark left this winter.  Why not light up your place with a gorgeous set of RED vintage lamps?  They measure 18.5″ tall and come with off-white shades.  They are missing the harps to attach the shade to the lamp, but you can pick those up at most hardware stores.

Bidding is now open!

With the holiday season approaching, many of you may be getting ready to host or attend a number of parties with friends, family, and co-workers.  The perfect accessory for a holiday outfit is a great purse.  We are excited to feature TWO vintage tapestry evening bags for your pleasure.  I’m especially excited about this auction, because I have a handbag at home very similar to the ones featured that my mom gave me – and I love it!

And the best part?  These items are featured as “Buy it Now” so if you want them, you can get them!  The bags measure 7 x61/4″ and 6 3/4 x 5.”

This week we are featuring a vintage Warwick Banjo Clock, made by the New Haven Clock Company.

Clockmaker Hiram Camp formed the company in 1853 in New Haven, Connectitut.  By 1860, they were producing around 170,000 clocks each year!  Though they had some financial difficulties, they produced clocks until 1960, when the company was privately sold.

We estimate that this banjo clock was produced in the early to mid-twentieth century.  It is in great condition and has its original winding key!  For more information and pictures, please visit our eBay site!
