FLOWER GARDEN CROCHET COVERLET Hand Made Afghan Throw! - (eBay item 310005435423 end time Dec-13-07 18:30:00 PST) This hand-made crochet coverlet has big white granny squares with a three-dimensional flower in each center and ombre yarn joins and border. It's 100% polyester yarn made by my friend who crochets about 60 mph. She usually makes coverlets from whatever yarn colors she has on hand. This blanket, large afghan or throw is shown on a single bed.
This one has a dainty picot edging on the colorful variegated yarn border of green, rose, white, tan and purple. The three-dimensional flowers stand up about an inch high and make the coverlet look like a garden or flower trellis. It's a sweet, homey item to warm up your decor and snuggle up in for a nap or TV watching.
This coverlet is made of polyester worsted-weight yarn and is machine washable.
Can you imagine this bit of hand-crocheted warmth in your home? See more photos on eBay.

1920s BISQUE DOLL IN PAPER DRESS Scant 7 In Arms Move! - (eBay item 310005405234 end time Dec-12-07 19:42:29 PST)
This vintage bisque doll is four inches tall from head to foot but stands almost seven inches tall because of her long, stiff gathered paper skirt or dress. She has very pale blonde painted hair with a painted blue bow, light brown brows, dark eyes and a dot of red on her mouth. Her upper back is marked, "Made in Japan."
Her movable arms are attached with wire. Her legs with socks and black painted shoes also move. She's none too clean, but I made no attempt to clean her, afraid of damaging her or her paper skirt.
Her skirt might be crepe paper and might have been green originally. It's been gathered with thread in two tiers and has four tiny pink paper flowers. It's stiff enough for her to stand upright even though her feet are far from the skirt bottom. The skirt/dress has two tiny straps which are also age-darkened.
We think this doll is probably from the 1920s as she came to us with another bisque doll that is definitely from the twenties.

1920s BISQUE DOLL 7-Inch Bare Bottom Cutie in Knit Top! - (eBay item 310004737747 end time Dec-11-07 18:30:00 PST) This vintage bisque doll is seven inches tall, blonde, wearing a slinky knit top and nothing else. She still has her arms. Her upper back is marked, "Made in Japan."
Her face is painted in a twenties style with the thin brows, big eyes with lashes painted top and bottom, a tiny bow mouth and her hair is bobbed. She's none too clean. I used a damp cloth on her and it did almost nothing. Perhaps you know how to give her a proper bath.
Her silky little pink knit top has a hole at the bottom front, a smaller hole on her right side and some irregularities at the back.
There's a flaw in the bisque at her ankle and a tiny hole in the bottom of her feet. She has no cracks, crazing or chips and her arms are held in place with a rubber band, I think. They move easily and stay put.

BLACK MANSERVANT CAST IRON BANK Still Top Hat Old Man! - (eBay item 310005035606 end time Dec-11-07 18:11:43 PST) This vintage cast iron bank is a five-inch tall balding black manservant dressed in very old-fashioned red coat, white high-collar shirt, yellow pants, yellow tie, and black shoes. He's holding a top hat. I see no maker's mark.
He's a still bank missing a significant amount of finish. The screw holding the front and back halves together has a slot head. I tried to open it in search of a maker's mark, but it didn't budge and I didn't want to force it.
There's no money in it now. The slot is a scant inch wide and won't accept a quarter. Was this bank made before quarters were common change in a kid's pocket?

Vintage 12 K GOLD EYE GLASSES Engraved Wire Frame, Case - (eBay item 310004344028 end time Dec-09-07 19:16:03 PST) This pair of gold eye glasses feature bifocal lenses and flexible wire temples that wrap around your ears. Engraved on the inside of the temples are the words, "1/10 12 K G.F." There's a small symbol also, but I couldn't make it out. They come in a hard leather case.
The lens width is 45 mm, the lens height is 41 mm, the temples measure 117 mm from the lens to the middle back of the ear piece. The lenses are 24 mm apart and the nose pads are 18 mm apart.
There's a design carved into the temples and the bridge is a plain narrow bar. There's no frame around the lower part of the lenses. Screws through holes in the lenses attach the nose pads and the frame. These glasses are almost weightless.
The coolest thing about this style of eye glass temples is the way the glasses stay on your head even if you turn upside-down. If you're sick of your spectacles falling off, these are for you.

5 Skeins Rose MAXI-CORD MACRAME CORD 6 mm 500 Yds 4 Lbs - (eBay item 310004025766 end time Dec-08-07 21:45:47 PST) These five skeins are marked, "Polypropylene Maxi-Cord Twisted, High Gloss, Brushes Out, Rose R09, 6mm - 100 Yards - 91 Meters."
Four skeins still have the labels which give instructions for measuring and cutting without fraying, and say, "Plaid Enterprises publishes a complete line of How-To books featuring Maxi-Cord shapes, chairs and accessories to enhance home decor."
I think they're all full skeins even though their weights differ:- one with a label weighs 13.9 oz.
- another with a label weighs 12.9 oz.
- one with a short tail weighs 12.9 oz.
- one with a long tail weighs 12.7 oz.
- the one without a label weighs 12.5 oz.
Altogether there are 4 pounds 2 ounces of macrame fun. Trader Horn wanted $5.19 each, marked them down to $3.47, then unloaded them at 50 cents each.
