NEW! $35
Interesting collectible! This was a gift
for hotel guests, celebrating the first anniversary of the Aladdin Hotel
in Las Vegas in June 1977! The base measures 4 x 4 and is clear with a
black layer on the bottom. I assume this is some sort of epoxy composite,
typical of material used when embedding an item inside so you can still
see the item. The base is not lightweight. Inside is a white, pink, green
and yellow $500 Aladdin chip! On the top is a silver colored plate engraved
"first anniversary June 1977 Aladdin Hotel Las Vegas, Nevada. There is
also a holder for a pen. The pen appears to be original and it still writes
in blue ink. A few surface marks, but no chips or missing pieces. |

8-1/2" long sterling and pink enamel shoe
horn! The top is sterling with bright pink enamel on both sides. Nice pattern
in the guilloche enamel, no chips or flakes to the enamel. The shoe horn
area is not sterling and shows base metal, pitting and rust areas. Not
sure how to clean it. The handle is marked F?B sterling. The Foster ? Bailey
company was from Providence, Rhode Island and was founded in 1873.
From 1878 to 1898 the firm was active as Foster ? Bailey as partnership
of Theodore W. Foster and Samuel H. Bailey. From 1898 the company was incorporated
under the name Theodore Foster ? Bros. Co. The company made wonderful sterling
accessory, vanity and dresser set items. They also made jewelry and some
of the best enamelled compacts in the 1920s. The shoehorn would have been
part of a much larger, perhaps a 20 piece dresser vanity set, all with
pink enamel. What a great set it would have been for your vanity in the
1920s! |

3-1/2" German girl in a sitting position.
She's very colorful with blond hair, blue swimsuit, lots of detail and
cute face! Her hands are on her stomach and there's a hole in her hand
to hold a paper umbrella. It's original and she was suppose to hold something.
I think it was an umbrella as there's an original metal piece attached
to her behind. She sits on the edge of a glass or fish bowl and I think
that's what she was intended to do! She has impressed numbers 4325 and
Germany on her back. No damage. Circa 1920s. She'll look cute protecting
your fish! |
