vintage tin type, gentleman in top hat, watch parts, pocket watch chain, vintage bundle NEW  Top hat Gentleman Tin Type Bundle | $15.25
I think if I were around 100 years ago or so I may have a mild crush on this chap with his rosy cheeks and handsome hat. (Or maybe I would have just snatched his hat.) This bundle comes with this fabulous tin type, a very old vintage crest button (these started being made in the early 1900s but were apparently made until 1950ish), a watch part and rusty pocket watch chain. He will come to you wrapped safely in an aged piece of fabric. see detail here >>

carte de viste photo, cdv, vintage crocheted lace, doily, vintage gold buttons, lace, vintage lace NEW  Two Girls 1800s Carte De Viste (CDV) Photograph Bundle | $9.95
Aren't these girls just sweet as can be (despite it not being "cool" to smile back then)! This CDV comes with two very old metal buttons, an aged crocheted lace doily with a bit of age discolorization (I like it better that way), and a piece of lovely vintage lace. These could make a fantastic fabric collage.

Here, for your consideration, is a small pile of old watch parts: movement, pocket watch case, a couple of stray gears and part of an old silver watch band.

carte de viste photo, cdv, young girl, vintage buttons, 1800s book, children's story book, vintage lace table cloth, doily, floral trim, sheet music NEW  1800s Story Book and Young Girl Carte De Viste (CDV) Photograph Bundle | $19.95
I cringe as I type this because I LOVE this bundle. This sweet young girl CDV comes with a late 1800s children's storybook, a piece of aged crocheted lace table cloth, some floral embroidered trim and a couple of very old buttons just for fun. It will arrive wrapped in very early 1900s sheet music. Please note that the book is very old and the pages have separated from the spine and cover, but it's packed with fantastic illustrations you can use in your work. Maybe you'd like to repurpose the cover and make your own book? inside book detail   >> illustration example >> see photo detail here >>

carte de viste photo, cdv, vintage toy gun, vintage book cover, map, bandana, belt buckle embellishment, rusty, rust NEW  Little Cowgirl 1800s Carte De Viste (CDV) Photograph Bundle | $11.95
I don't know if it's the precious little boots she's wearing or the bales of hay she's sitting upon, but this precious little gem looks like a cowgirl in the making to me. This bundle comes with an 1800s Carte De Viste photo, a vintage toy gun, a 1922 book cover and pages (map on the inside) and rusty brass embellishment that looks like a tiny belt buckle, all wrapped in bandana print fabric. see photo detail here >>

solid brass, victorian, drawer pull, door knocker, altered art, mixed media art NEW  Brass Victorian Ring Drawer Pull or Door Knocker | $9.95
At first I thought this was a really cool large drawer pull, but then I thought maybe a small door knocker. Now I'm not too sure, but either way this solid brass victorian item is gorgeous! It measures just over 2.75" by 2.25" wide.

variable capacitors, vintage, radio, ham NEW  Vintage Radio Variable Capacitors, Type A | $8.95 each
This isn't really a "type a" capacitor, if even such a thing exists. I just came upon lots of these in several styles so that is for my reference. Okay, so these things are soooo cool!! They measure about 4.75" tall (maybe a tad more) and 3.5" wide. The depth depends upon if they are "open" or not. If you aren't familiar with variable capacitors, you can twist the top part so the back is no longer flat but convex -- like in the photo. How amazing these would look in a big ol' assemblage!! Only two of this style! Additional shipping charges or slower shipping method may apply (first class instead of priority).

variable capacitors, vintage, radio, ham NEW  Vintage Radio Variable Capacitors, Type B | $9.95 each
I love the red stripes on these!! I got three and am keeping one for myself. These ones are a bit smaller, measuring 4" by 3.25". I want to hook a motor up to one of these to make it spin on it's own... or, um, ask my husband to do it 'cause he's a genius like that. Even static though, these things would look so hot on a big cool assemblage! (These twist "open" like the ones above do.)
Only two of this style! Additional shipping charges or slower shipping method may apply (first class instead of priority).

vintage radio dial, handle, numbers, turn, tuner NEW  Vintage Radio Dial | $24.95
Is this even a radio dial? I honestly have no idea, but that's what I'm guessing. I was giddy with bliss when I found not one but TWO of these! Yeps, I'm keepin' one for myself! These things are fairly large -- 5" x 3" by almost 5" deep. To get a proper perspective, see side view here >>
Only one!

cameo creation, vintage framed print, victorian painting, Mme. Lambert de Morigney by Nicholas Largelliere NEW  Vintage Framed Victorian Print: Mme. Lambert de Morigney, 6" x 6.75" | $11.95
This Cameo Creation has a lovely print entitled Mme. Lambert de Morigney by Nicholas Largelliere. I believe these came out between the 20s and 50s, and they featured victorian era paintings, generally of ladies. They are made to resemble heavy ornate wood but are indeed not. Covering the image is convex glass, and the whole thing measures about 6" x 6.75". Hang her in her studio to inspire or use the frame and image in an art project.
