Vintage Round EMBROIDERED TRINKET BOX Oriental Golfer!

Vintage Round EMBROIDERED TRINKET BOX Oriental Golfer! - eBay (item 310033266142 end time Mar-25-08 18:51:56 PDT)

This vintage embroidered trinket box is small and round with an oriental design on the lid, black satin sides and red brocade lining inside. It looks like there's a golf bag behind the man. I see no maker's mark.

The embroidery is somewhat soiled and still good except for the gold threads which are coming loose. The lid fabric is threadbare around the edge.

The bottom is plain white paper with a penciled "60.00" written on it. The red brocade lining is in good condition with two minor stains. The lid fits snugly.

It measures 3 1/4 inches across and almost 2 inches high. The bottom is 1 inch deep.

Vintage CHALKWARE PIGGY BANK Pink Chalk Pig Still Bank!

Vintage CHALKWARE PIGGY BANK Pink Chalk Pig Still Bank! - eBay (item 310033247431 end time Mar-25-08 17:36:30 PDT)

This vintage chalkware piggy bank likely came from a carnival long ago. There's no maker's mark. It's a cute fat smiling girl pig with long eyelashes and a bow on its neck. I think it used to be Pepto Bismol pink, judging from the bright color underneath. It's faded to pale pink everywhere else.

The finish has marks and numerous chips. The right eyelashes are pretty much gone.

She's 8 inches long and about 5 inches high. There's no way to get your coins back out except to slide a butter knife into the slot and shake and jiggle them out. It's either that or smash her. Yikes!
