1890-1910 Baskets Pattern Quilt Unused Unwashed

76” by 76”. Double pink, green calico. Authentic antique quilt. Place and maker unknown. Basket blocks with green calico triangles set on 11” double pink print have machine appliquéd handles in the double pink, obliterating the seam lines. A 2” frame of the green calico surrounds the pattern area and the 5 ½” outer border is a second double pink print. Most of the back is a red and grey dress print, but part is a cadet blue print. The binding is formed by the front border, narrowly turned to the back. Machine pieced and joined, hand quilted in 2” square lattice on the diagonal through the entire design surface, with cable in the border. Filer appears to be a sheet, giving slight definition to the quilting stitches. Unused and unwashed, excellent condition .

Entirely hand pieced and joined nicely hand quilted in narrow outline around each of the diamonds. Excellent condition, no rips or serious wear.

Sonia Henie Ice Skating Program

Here she is, the darling of the ice world, Sonya Henie, with her 1951 Hollywood Ice Review.  This program is from the annual tour of the wonderland of entertainment with good hype on the inside cover,
    "Breathtaking in every detail, the revue brings to the foreground of ice-skating entertainment the greatest stars ever assembled in an ice extravaganza......is the last word in a new and refreshing musical revue on skates.  It has become an eagerly awaited American institution."

   Great cover design with Sonya's skating figure embossed in gold foil amidst a background of embossed curtains and a field of highly reflective "ice crystals".  Her signature in gold foil is just below. 

   Condition:  Near mint condition with mint condition staples; inside pages are white; cover is flat and free of tears; cover corners sharply cut; cover colors highly reflective and very clean.  Barely perceptible transparent marks on the cover are the only flaw I see.  Stored in archival plastic sleeve for the past 25 years.

Donald Ducks Story Book:

 Walt Disney's 1939 story book, Donald Duck and his Friends, told by Jean Ayer and illustrated by Walt Disney Studios.  The binding on this hardcover book is still very firm; the inside pages are off white but not yellow or tan with no pencil or crayon markings; the cover shows minor abrasion and one small spot near the bottom left and the corners have very minor bends.  I would rate this as a very fine grade.  Second photo is a good example of the condition of all the pages, which are all present and accounted for.

1930s Bakelite Shaving Brush

bowlersbra1.JPG (48280 bytes) bowlersbra2.JPG (45856 bytes)

And last but not least, an amusing "Lingerie for Milady Bowler", the bowler's bra.  The original box is dated 1961, Art Anson, Inc. and has one minor flaw where a price tag has been removed, ripping up a small layer from the cardboard in the upper left corner.  The "bra" is made of very thin, cheap plastic and the strap has more the look of a jock strap than lingerie.  Feminine touch of lace around the "cups".  Good for a few yuks.
