PictureChristmas Angel & Mexican Glass Christmas Ornaments Italy 1960's

Here are two 1960's vintage glass Christmas ornaments typical of the unusual people ornaments made in Italy at that time.

  • The first is a large 6" lady with added leaf wings that probably make her an angel of some sort. She has a painted face and other bits of added cloth finery... a leaf collar, glitter tinsel collar and hat with feathers and a ribbon sash with bells or doodads. The color scheme is white and gold. Her cloth parts are the worse for age or lack of care. Some loss of paint and areas with what appears to be glue... at wrists... where something may have been attached once. Dark crackle lines at bottom suggest something may have been attached here too... like spun hair... could have been a cloud at the bottom? I don't know. I purchased her from an estate sale long ago in this condition... couldn't resist her ancient charms.
  • The second is the head of a Mexican man wearing a large red sombrero. Nicely painted face with mustache. Hat has glitter designs with some loss of red at a couple of points and a little crackling. In good condition otherwise. 2.5" long x 2.25" wide.

PictureChristmas Nativity Paper Mache Figures Vintage Germany

Here's is a vintage Christmas nativity scene purchased recently from an estate sale. It includes:

  • 8 paper mache' figures: Mary & Joseph, 3 wise men, a shepherd with one sheep at his feet, a donkey and a cow. Joseph is marked Made in Germany. The others are marked Western Germany. The tallest figure is 5" high. Cardboard sealer piece on base has come unglued from the wiseman in the green robe but it is included, not lost. Paint on Joseph (brown) and kneeling wise man (purple) is crackled and peeling. A little is peeling on donkey at neck. All are in good condition otherwise.
  • Wooden stable or creche and manger. The stable measures 11.75" high. It's base is 15.5" wide x 5.5" deep. The base is some type of pressed composition board which is worn at corners and edges. Back wall has a foil Star of Bethlehem. Right side wall has a music box attached through an opening in the roof. It doesn't work as the spring is broken. The manger is also wood with a few bits of dried evergreen leaves inside.
  • Baby Jesus and the 5 sheep are plastic. At first I thought the sheep were done very realistically... they looked shaggy and dirty from foraging through the muddy hills. After we photographed them, I realized they really are dirty and need a bath or good scrubbing with a brush. But the dirt shows the details in their wool up nicely. They may have been swiped and used to fill in as farm animals in some child's muddy backyard play area. They're in good condition otherwise.
  • Bag of wooden shavings. Great to use for straw in the stable... and it won't be susceptible to bugs or rot.
Everything is in good condition with the exceptions noted next to each.

PictureChristmas Topper Germany Vintage-30s NRA Noma Light Box

Here are 2 vintage Christmas items. One is a glass Christmas ornament for the tree top or end of branch. It's a long hollow spire measuring 10". It's silver with red, blue and white designs, plus added white textured snow. There's a paper label affixed to the bottom section that reads: Germany. We purchased it from an estate sale in this vintage Shiny Brite box which pictures the same type of ornament on the lid but says Made in Western Germany on the side. The original price tag is on the box: 29 cents from Binks. Both ornament and box are in very good condition.

The other is a Noma box: "Strings of Color-Light All Year 'Round For All Celebrations" copyrighted 1929, with pictures of not only the expected lights on the Christmas tree but also the unexpected lights held aloft by Uncle Same on the 4th of July, and those surrounding a black cat, jack-o-lantern, and witchy skeleton thing on Halloween. I guess they wanted to find as many occasions as possible to sell their lights... but we know that only the Christmas thing ever really caught on :-) There are no lights in the box but the 1933-1935 box is neat to find in such good condition. Even the inside is interesting. Top inside "Noma Decorative Outfits with Mazda Lamps" and it goes on to give all the good things you should know, guarantee, and directions with the bad things you should know ie if one bulb goes out the rest won't light either... now it will take you half an hour to try a new bulb in every socket and what if that one doesn't work either? The NRA Eagle stamped inside the box shows that Noma supported the National Recovery Act... in force from 1933 through 1935 when the Supreme Court found it to be unconstitutional. This is a neat item... especially if you have the old lights but no box to display them in. 11" x 6" x 1.5". Back 2 corner seams on lid are torn along the seam; inside has some roughness where the lights were put in and out of their proper slots but it's really in very good condition especially when considering that it's probably 73-75 years old.

PictureHalloween Ghost Witch Crone Clay Pipe Vintage Halloween Novelty

Here's an unusual Halloween novelty item. I think it's a witch... or maybe it's a ghost dressed like a witch... or maybe it's the ghostly apparition of an old crone. The body is a white clay pipe with a face painted on the underside of the bowl. The bonnet and dress are made from crepe paper. Maybe it's a vintage handmade party favor or a novelty purchased from a small candy store, variety store, or 5 & 10 cent store. There was one of each in our town when I was a kid and you could always find strange and wonderous items for any holiday in all three of them. You just had to decide which was the very best thing, the one you had to have and were willing to spend your hard earned nickle on ;-) It's 5" long and in very good condition. Purchased from an estate sale along with a jack o'lantern that we're offering today. Check out our picture buttons below.

PictureHalloween Jack O Lantern Paper Mache Halloween Pumpkin Vintage

Here is a 1940's vintage paper mache' jack o'lantern. He's about 4.25" high (not including the wire handle), 5" wide, and 4.5" front to back. He is in very good condition... no tears or holes... but he may have been repainted by a former owner. The surface has a semi-matt finish but it has less of that "egg carton" appearance to the surface than what I remember (of course I could be wrong) and there is no variation in the color, no green. He's still real cute and in great shape. Purchased from an estate sale along with another odd Halloween item that we're offering today. Check picture buttons below.

PictureHalloween Red Horned Devil Mask Vintage Mummers Costume

This nifty red horned devil mask was part of a vintage Mummer's costume. It's a rubbery flexible material, probably latex, reinforced with burlap at the neck. (I've stuffed it with paper to show it's shape) Accented with gold and white paint and fine green glitter. Horn span is about 15". We purchased it along with others from the same group at a flea market about 10 years ago. Time is taking it's toll... paint is cracking and flaking on horns, teeth. Latex is cracking in few spots... at back neck slit, tip of lower jaw, and under left ear shows a dime sized area of white underneath. Surface of latex is developing white spots... not sure what that is. It's still a fun piece for that room full of horrors and Halloween.
