Displaying 21 - 40 of 96
#ZLC120 - Life Bartlett Pears Crate Label
Vintage 11" wide Life Bartlett Pears crate label. Nice colorful picture of a guy smoking a pipe and reeling in a jumping trout. Circa 1950. Unused factory stock from the Dennis W. Leary Co in Walnut Grove, CA. Excellent unused condition. Great framed for the fisherman or outdoorsman.
$2.50
#BC023 - Group of 10 Brownie Chocolate Bottle Caps
You get 10 for $2.00 (that's 20¢ each). Vintage cork lined Brownie chocolate bottle caps. Pictures a Palmer Cox Brownie on it. Circa 1950s. Unused old stock in good condition. Found in an old bottling plant in Paducah, Kentucky a lot of years ago. This is becoming a hard one to find.
$2.00
#ZLCA037 - Wing Brand Hawaiian Kona Coffee Label
Huge vintage over 20" wide three pound Wing Hawaiian Kona Coffee label. Just like the boxes, these are quite a find. They are rare and appeal to coffee collectors, Hawaii collectors, and country store collectors. They were used on cans of Kona coffee which was considered the best coffee in the world at the time. From around 1959 when Hawaii gained statehood. They are unused stock from the Wing Coffee Company in Honolulu, Hawaii. Very nice.
$2.50
#ZZTO027 - Four Different 1947 - 1961 Appliance Store Brochures
You get four different for $2.50 (that's 63¢ each) Vintage brochures from an appliance store in Florida. The ones pictured are representative, but there are many different types. If you order two sets, you'll get 8 different. Full color brochures. Most are dated. Average is from the 1950s. Some are as early as 1947 and as late as 1961. Sizes vary a lot. Refrigerators, stoves, air conditioner, and all sorts of other appliance related items. Nice condition although one here and there may have a rough edge. These would be great for framing.
$2.50
ZZCA030 - D & H Railroad Blotter Advertising Coal
Vintage 6" wide ink blotters in really nice unused condition. These were found in an unopened box in an old railroad depot in Buffalo, NY. We have the original box they were found in is and it is dated 1953.
$1.00
#ZLC086 -Victorious Louisiana Yam Label
Vintage 10" tall Victorious Louisiana Yam label. Fanciful image of a cowgirl on a decorated horse strutting on top of giant yams. Circa 1950. This is another very scarce label that retails in the $15 and up range. Unusual. These are in very good condition. Unused stock from the St. Landry Packing Co. in Sunset, LA. Got these from a kindred spirit who also loves looking for old store stock. I got him hooked on this stuff 20 years ago and he has been looking for it ever since. This is one of several outstanding labels he has been able to procure.
$5.00
#CS088 - Hillbilly Tater Bread Bags
Vintage 19" wide unused plastic bread bag. Super colorful bags picturing granny cuttin' taters. These are unused stock from the Hansen Baking Co. in the Seattle, Washington area. Circa 1950s. Great graphics.
$1.00
ZZCA032 - Frisco Railway Letterhead
Vintage 7" tall notepad sheets with brightly colored Frisco Railway letterhead. The Frisco is a defunct U.S. railroad that operated in the Midwest and South Central U.S. from 1876 to 1980. These are an interesting story. This summer we took a vacation in Branson, MO and heard stories of a fellow who had gotten lots of stuff out of the old Frisco Railway depot when in closed around 1980. We never did find the fellow, but one of the local antique dealers had this stack of letterhead that he got from the fellow we never found. It was in an old string tied bundle that looked pretty beat up, but much to our amazement the sheets were like new when we got down below the first three or four. I'm not sure of the exact date as from what I've been able to look up there were many types of Frisco trains, but I'm guessing from the style of the one in the picture that they are probably from the 1950s.
$0.35
#BC027 - Pioneer Valley Golden Ginger Ale Cork Lined Caps
Vintage cork lined Pioneer Valley Golden Ginger Ale soda bottle caps. Circa 1950s. Unused old stock in good condition. Found in an old bottling plant in Northampton, Massachetts area. This is the hardest one of the Pioneer caps to find.
$0.15
#CA010 - Group of 4 Union Pacific Overland Route Toothpicks in Wrappers
You get 4 for $1 (that's 25¢ each). 3" wide toothpick packages says Union Pacific The Overland Route and has the old Union Pacific logo on it. Each wrapper contains two toothpicks. These came from a fellow who used to buy old stock out of the Union Pacific commissary in the 1970s, and so they are in excellent unused condition. We're estimating they are from the 1950s, but by the looks of the box, they could be even older. These are the only examples we've ever seen of these and the Overland Route was discontinued in 1971, so they should be a pretty good item for resale.
$1.00
#CS022 - Griddle Mix Pancake Bag
Unused 12" tall vintage pancake bags from the I. O. A. Foods Co. in Cedar Rapids, IA. Says "Griddle Mix for Buckwheat Compound Pancakes". This company went out of business a long time ago and these were left in the warehouse. Circa 1950.
$1.00
#CS120 - Full Box of Satina Ironing Aid Product
Vintage 3 1/4" wide full package of Satina Ironing aid. Directions on back explain how to mix it. Inside are four bars of Satina and a sheet advertising LaFrance Bluing and how get two pairs of nylons for $1. Circa 1950. Nice condition. They are unused stock that was found in dry storage in the old Janney-Marshall building in Fredericksburg, VA. Old store stock doesn't come around all that often at this price.
$1.00
#TM064 - Golden Guernsey Front Cover Striker Match Pack
Vintage unused full pack of front cover stiker matches that say "Compliments Michigan Guernsey Breeders Assn Ed Wright Representative" on the cover and have a super colorful Golden Guernsey symbol on the back. These are in great condition and are from around the 1950s. Golden Guernsey is very popular with the dairy collectors.
$1.00
#TY116 - Mechanical Keywind Scurry Mouse in Original Box
All left have dented boxes. Vintage boxed mechanical scurry mouse. Marked Yone and Made in Japan. The mouse is about 4" long and is made entirely of lithograped tin and rubber. You wind up the key and he scurries around on the floor and tumbles over. Still works well. Excellent condition, but the box may have some very minor dings. Great graphics. Unsold old store stock. It's getting harder and harder for us to find Made in Japan boxed keywinds like this. Order early so you don't miss out. Circa 1950s.
$10.00
#BC083 - Super Coola C & C Cork Lined Soda Cap
Vintage Super Coola C & C cork lined bottle cap. Nice unused condition. These are unusual. They went on cone top Super Coola soda cans that were made in the mid 1950s. Found in the old bottling plant in Narrows, VA. Don't have very many.
$0.50
#TY178 - Hard Plastic Piggy Bank
Vintage hard plastic 4 1/2" long hard piggy bank. These are blue on one side and pink on the other. Old stock from a store on the east coast. They outlawed this type of plastic a long time ago. It can still be sold as a collectible, but you are not allowed to manufacture it any more. It's that brittle hard stuff that was a child hazard. There is no plug. Guess you had to break it when it was full. A lot of people remember these. They are in great condition.
$1.00
#ZLBE0087 - Group of 6 Old Tavern Lager Beer Labels
4" wide Old Tavern Lager Beer label. Went on a 12 oz. bottle. Fantastic image of an old fox hunt starting in front of a tavern. Unused vintage 1950s stock from the Warsaw Brewing Corp. in Warsaw, IL.
$1.50
#PL021 - Politically Incorrect United Nations Pen Knife
These are amazing. They are good quality vintage 2 3/4" long pen knives with steel blades and brass grommets that are marked "United Nations". Can you imagine them trying to sell something like this now? They are unsold souvenirs from the 1950s. We picked up a few cases in the New York area. They are in unused condition. These should sell very well for substantially more than our price as they are unusual and uncommon.
$2.00
#PL101 - Adlai and Estes Presidential Election Pinback
Vintage 3/4" diameter pinback button promoting Adlai Stevenson for president and Estes Kefauver for vice president. These were made for the 1956 campaign and are marked Green Duck Co., Chicago. They have some small wear marks from being shuffled around over the years, but are unused and in great shape. These are hard to come by.
$1.50
#SIGN006 - Cardboard Store Sign for Big Bag of Onions
Vintage 14" wide cardboard sign with an onion lady with a snap purse pointing to the words "Buy the Big Bag for Economy". They were meant to be used in the onion section of the store and the price would be written in the space to the right of the onion lady. They came from the basement of a large store in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania called Trimble's. They apparently got signs with their deliveries quite often and threw them in piles in the basement. One of our long time customers rescued these (thank's Bob) and a number of others. They were never used, and are in excellent condition except for very minor aging. These are from the mid 1950s (some of the materials with them were dated).
