This tray is absolutely unique and mind blowing when you discover that the "lace" is actually a reverse painting on glass! I bought this along with other items as a tray with lace. As I was getting ready to photograph it, I saw a flaw, when inspecting it with a loupe, I found that the lace was not real, but painted! So real and dating from the early 18th century. Nice, simple wood tray with a cardboard backing that is somewhat damaged. I believe there once was a thin wood backing over this that has been removed. No signature or indication of origin. Except for flaw as shown. It is in great condition. 9x17  New and unused glass pipets in the following sizes and quantities: 1x1/10ml (3 cases of 250, plus an additional 1/2 case in plastic wrapper- 875 total), 10x1/10ml (3 cases of 100), 5x1/10ml (3 cases of 100).  Volumetric Measurements clearly marked on each pipet.  Offering a beautiful multi-colored beaded drawstring handbag. White, red, yellow, green and blue beads are displayed on black cloth. The inside is all white beads displayed on white materal. Very nice condition. A beautiful additon for your handbag collection.  2.5" Bendable Fairy and Jewel Necklace.

Art Deco Wooden Tray--Wood Frame and handles and the center has inlaid wood design--Glass covers the center--This is in the 1927 Sears Catalog--19 1/8 inches long not counting the handles x 13 inches wide

 Iconic Blue Mirrored, Sparton #557, probably the most desirable of Art Deco symbols to date. This one works just fine, is 97.5% original, (a few capacitors replaced) & beside a couple age spots, is in amazing original condition. 


The Sparton Company was founded in 1900 as the Withington Company in Jackson, Michigan by Philip and Winthrop Withington. William Sparks became a partner a few years later, and they changed the name to the Sparks-Withington Company. By 1909, they were using the trade name "Sparton", using the first three and last three letters of their company name, inspired by the "Spartan" of ancient Greece.  One of their first major products was an all-electric car horn in 1911. Radio production was added to the company in 1925. After 1930, Sparton also became involved in the manufacture of electric household appliances. It was during this time that they contracted with the pioneer of American Industrial Design, Walter Dorwin Teague.


Walter Dorwin Teague (1883-1960) was an industrial designer whose accomplishments include the "Brownie" Camera, Steinway pianos, Steuben glassware, Corning Glass and more. He designed Texaco Service Stations of the 1930's and 40's, with their white porcelain exteriors and striking red "Texaco Star".  He designed for Boeing and the Metropolitan Museum. He and his sons designed the Marmon V-16 automobile. And he designed four exquisite blue-mirror and chrome radios for The Sparton Company; the Sparton 506 "Bluebird" and the Sparton 1186 "Nocturne" in 1935, the Sparton 557 "Sled" in 1936, and the Sparton 558 "Sled", with added tone control, in 1937.  They were also all made in a "peach" colored mirror, though far fewer were sold, making those the rarest of all today.  Like all radios made by Sparton after 1930, these Teague radios did not sell well, partly due to their price and partly due to the Depression. The Sparton "Sled" and "Bluebird" sold for around $40 to $45 at a time when the average US weekly income was about $30.  The large floor-sized "Nocturne" sold for a whopping $350 to $375, about the price of a new car. That, and the fact that they are made almost entirely of glass, explains their scarcity today.


The Cobalt Blue-Mirror, or "Galena" Blue Mirror that is found on the case was patented by William Peacock, Jr. in 1930, and was created by applying a film of lead sulphide (galena) to the surface of the glass.  Unlike later blue-mirror, which pales in comparison, reflections in Cobalt Blue Mirror cast a purplish tint.  It was only produced for a short time in the 1930's, and when found in good condition, can add even more to the radio's value.  Glass square dish, iridescent with shimmering copper-gold highlights.  Raised floral pattern.  This vintage dish measures about 5.5 inches by 5.5 inches and 1 inch high.  There is a flea bite chip on the one corner.  The dish has some bubble pitting on the outside bottom that appears to have occurred during firing.  There is also some discoloration on the bottom center.  No identifying markings.  Average condition.

Northwood glass produced this wonderful blue opalescent glass whimsy bowl in the pattern known as Klondyke a.k.a. Fluted Scroll circa 1898 – 1900. This beautiful blue whimsy bowl is approximately 8.00 inches at the widest point, and 3.75 inches at the tallest point and in very good condition with no nicks, chips, cracks or sickness. The glass is crystal clear and reflects the light as if it were newly made. You would be hard pressed to find a bowl this old in the wonderful condition it is in.  Cambridge Glass produced this EAPG Basket in the pattern known as Near Cut #2636 circa 1906. The design of this glass basket has brilliance to it just like cut glass. It is approximately 5.50 inches tall to the top of the handle, 5.50 inches at the widest point and 6.75 inches long and in very good condition with little to no wear to the glass and it has no nicks, chips, cracks or sickness. The end of one side of the handle is rough to the touch where they sheared it off. This basket is an excellent example of Cambridge’s imitation cut glass as the light dances off this basket as you would see from a fine piece of cut crystal of that time period.  Homco Mirror Candle Holder--This rectangular holder hangs on the wall and is gold plastic filagree design and has a smoke colored mirror--Candle goes in front of the bottom of the mirror--Good condition--Marked: Homco-USA-1972
