Vintage Winking WESTERN BARBIE Doll Used in Box #1757! - eBay (item 310049906409 end time May-18-08 17:55:08 PDT)This vintage winking Western Barbie comes with her original box, booklet and some cards. The box says, "She gives you her autograph and a wink." This doll must have winked once too often and is stuck in a permanent wink now. Mattel No. 1757.
The box says there's a comb, brush, perfume bottle, mirror and instructions. The instruction booklet is here, but not the rest. There's no stamper as pictured. Her boots are missing, too.
She's in good condition except for her eyes. Her western outfit is in good condition. The box is somewhat banged up and has been taped at the upper front. A handwritten tag stapled to the top says, "1966" as if they thought that's when this winking Western Barbie doll came out?
Vintage HANDWOVEN HANDBAG Overshot Design Purse, Frame! - eBay (item 310049905724 end time May-16-08 17:51:46 PDT)This vintage cream and black handbag features an old-fashioned handwoven overshot design popular in coverlets in the 1800s. It was likely woven on a narrow four-harness loom. There's no maker's mark.
The metal frame is expertly installed as is the lining which has a surprise touch in the floral braid trim inside the frame edge. The cream threads in the weave have the sheen of rayon. The purse is lined with cream lining fabric.
The engraved metal frame and chain handle have lost most of their silvery finish through age and use. The fabric shows wear near the frame. The purse is definitely black and cream, not navy and cream like the photos suggest. The cream is lighter in real life, more off-white on this vintage handwoven coverlet-design purse.
Vintage Victorian Courting Couple SCOURING PAD HOLDER! - eBay (item 310049651936 end time May-15-08 20:14:49 PDT)This vintage ceramic Victorian couple decorate a scouring pad holder. The bottom is both embossed and stamped, "Made in Japan."
The back has an opening for the pad and the bottom has an opening to allow it to drain. The pad hides out of sight behind the courting couple.
Is it just me or does she look a bit alarmed at the lute playing? Actually they're both looking at something else, almost like they've been discovered courting.
Vintage White and Gold BEADED WRIST BAG Zipper, Mirror! - eBay (item 310049108357 end time May-15-08 17:17:09 PDT)
This small white and gold beaded bag can be worn on your wrist, because it has a belt on the back (seen in first and last pictures). It closes with a metal zipper with an art deco tab and a patent number. The design on the tab might be an "M" but I'm not sure. Otherwise there's no maker's mark.
Inside is satin lining with a pocket holding a double mirror that's showing its age. Three of the eight big beads are missing. A few of the seed beads are missing and some are stained.
