Coat of Arms Journal Upcycled from Vintage Book
£8.00
This stately journal was once a vintage hardcover book that now has a new life and purpose. It now has approx 60 pages of 67 lb. acid-free cream card stock for you to fill.
This journal conjures thoughts of knights and adventure. The inside covers feature a beautiful map with blue lettering entitled “The Road to Cathay.” (See photos) Because the binder rings open and close, this journal is actually reversible, and the inside covers could be used as the outside. The texture of the cover is smooth. I am not sure how to describe the color…a darkened orange? The crest on the front is in gold lettering and features a shield with three crowns, a bugle, and a sword with leaves in the background. Cover is marked and worn, as it should be. If you look closely, you’ll see one of the marks to the right of the crest. This is a medium-large sized journal, approximately 5.5” X 9”.
Silver binder rings open and close, making it possible to add clippings, notes, and whatever else you find along the way.
Recycled antique linen tote bag
£169.00
the most beautiful antique linen salvaged from a french postal service bag dated 1937 has been turned into a durable, everyday tote bag.
the material used to construct this bag is over 70 years old but still in the most wonderful condition. original printing and hand-stitching (repairs that were made by the owner of the bag many years ago) have been incorporated into this tote to highlight the unique nature of the material. any discoloration of the fabric is the result of many years of natural wear and aging.
fully lined with blue and white striped ticking fabric from days of olde, this large tote would be perfect for carrying everything you need during the day - a laptop, library books, groceries, or even clothes for a weekend trip. two good-sized inside pockets can easily hold a wallet, ipod, keys, camera.
beautiful soft leather shoulder straps are constructed out of a turn of the century barber’s strop (the leather strip used to sharpen a razor) from a barber shop that was located in new york. this particular barber’s strop is made out of seal leather from alaska (printing from the original strop can still be seen on the ends of the shoulder straps).
tote measures approximately 18 inches wide, 13 inches tall, 4 inches deep.
Victorian Gothic roasary style necklace
£27.00
In this dark but beautiful necklace, a tiny scrap of hand-dyed vintage wool felt in dark chocolate brown has been embellished with antique nailheads, beads and sequins -all at least 90 years old.
Lengths of vintage black chain are punctuated with re-claimed chain from the thrift, closing with a lobster claw clasp in an industrial style.
A vintage medal of St.Peter hangs from the bottom of the rosary plate, accompanied by a 19th century glass nailhead on a hand-made headpin. A heavy rough-cast heart in silver metal gives weight and interest to the chain.
Open, the necklace measures 18.5 inches with an extra 2 inches of chain ending in a vintage button, for extension length.

Marbles Gladstone Mich USA 1900 Match Safe
£21.00
A piece of emergency equipment that every hunter, camper, or hiker should have, the match safe is a screw-it-closed water-resistant metal container for wooden kitchen matches. There is a ring at the top to which one may attach a strap or chain for secure carrying of the match safe.
To open the match safe, with the ring off to the side so that it does not block the end, turn the body of the match safe within its framework. When the body of the match safe has been fully unscrewed, it can be swung out to one of the sides, but cannot be swung out to the other side. Before swinging it out ensure that the open end will be pointed up. The interior then is exposed, allowing one to put matches into or remove matches from the match safe. If the open end was not pointed up, you may now be playing match pick-up. Reverse the above to close it. It holds 17-19 wooden kitchen matches.
Every BoyScout and outdoorsman owned and carried one of these. Modern plastic substitutes exist but, like most plastic substitutes, just are not as satisfying as having the real thing.
WWII World War II DACO-LITE Hand Generate Flashlight
£75.00
WWII World War II DACO-LITE Hand Generate Flashlight No Batteries Tropicalized Dec 1944 Vintage Works. The DACO-LITE was made by and is marked on both sides, “DAYTON ACME CO. CINCINNATI, OHIO, USA”. It is also marked, “PATENT APPLIED FOR”. On the right side it is also marked, “TROPICLAIZED DECEMBER, 1944”. There is an inspection mark on the bottom. The lens appears to have a crack radiating outwardly from near the center toward 7 o’clock, but it must be minimal or on the inside as I do not feel it with a fingernail. This is without the spare bulb these were designed to carry. Otherwise it is in good vintage condition. The flashlight is army green in color. It works.
To operate the flashlight, release the hinged lever, which runs down the front of the handgrip, from the retaining clip. The bottom of the lever will spring forward. Swiftly pull the lever back flush with the front of the handgrip. You will hear a whirling sound and will see light for a brief time. Release the lever to enable it to move forward, and repeat. When done, swing the retaining clip over the bottom of the lever.
There are no batteries to die or leak. It can be handy to have in the car or home. How neat, a piece of history for which there is practical use!
£51.00
