This vintage souvenir of the "World's Playground", Atlantic City, New Jersey, has an attached celluloid or plastic tag that reads: Souvenir of Atlantic City & Steeplechase Pier. The copper oval was made in one of those machines that rolled and flattened your penny and impressed it with a raised picture of the place you had just visited... in this case, Steeplechase pier and "Auditorium". The back of the penny is barely visable and can be seen to have been minted in 1919, the end of WWI, when Atlantic City was still the world's playground.

Classic knife shaped vintage letter opener has a handle made of many different samples of wood: walnut, poplar, oak, bass, cherry cedar, maple, buckeye, sycamore, and birch. It's a souvenir of St. Augustine, Florida, which is printed on the blade along with: Pat. Apld. For. Perhaps these are the lumber producing trees that grow in Florida. The blade is also a 5" ruler with inset metal spine straight edge on top. The point is a bit worn from use as is the finish on the surface at that spot. It's in very good condition otherwise. From an estate sale.

Here are 2 vintage orange peelers. The smaller (4.75") lighter one is incised: Orange Peeler Souvenir of Florida and has an incised tinted bird and tree on the other side. I think it's celluloid. Unfortunately the point of the hook is broken. The larger (5.5") darker one is also marked although it's hard to see: Dainty Orange Peeler. I think this one is made from bone, some call it bone ivory. They were purchased from an estate sale with the old sewing tools we're listing today. I thought they were weird crochet hooks until I read what it said on them. Both were made in Japan.

This 1940's vintage novelty pin was a souvenir of New Orleans. It consists of 2 hand painted wooden parts... the head of a lady with smiling face, brass hoop earrings, head wrapped in tan cloth stamped in a fold with the words: Souvenir New Orleans. A tiny pair of wooden hand painted maracas tied with blue ribbon was safety pinned through her head wrap so both pieces could be worn as a pin together... or add a pin to her and wear them together but apart. They're a great looking pair! There's a small tear in the cloth on back of her head. White paint in her right eye has chipped off but could be touched up easily. From tip of turban to bottom of chin, she's 3.5" long. The maracas are 1-3/8" long. In very good vintage condition.
