Vintage original painting of
mission-style building with tile
roof and wind-blown eucalyptus
and palm trees.

This is a depiction of Presidio Park,
the home of the Serra Museum and
the San Diego Historical Society.
It was built in 1929 and occupies
the original site of California's first
Catholic Mission founded by Father
Junipero Serra and Captain Gaspar
de Portola. The area now called
Mission Valley can be glimpsed in
the background of the painting.

The date and the medium
indicated in Item Specifics
are just best guesses.

12" x 10½"
Painting alone
is about 6½" x 5"

Last photo shows Presidio Park
as it appears today -- the
vegetation has grown quite a bit
since this painting was done.

There appears to be a signature
in lower-right corner, but it is
illegible; on heavy tan-colored
paper with a canvas texture;
oak frame looks like it was
probably homemade; glass is fine;
hanging wire at back.

There is a very thin crack in the
painting surface in the upper-left
corner (barely visible); other than
that, excellent condition; no odors.

Arrowhead water cooler

converted to a

one-of-a-kind floor lamp.

Be the first on your block......

.....be the first on your planet!

......to own a lamp which in the

distant past, dispensed water.

Where water

once gurgled,

photons now flow.

38¼" tall; about 11" each side of the triangle.

Glass globe is about 7" diameter, on a 4"-fitter.

Cord is about 50" long and runs through vinyl

grommet in hole where spigot used to be.

The round platform below the light can be

used for a small house plant,

a paperweight.....just use your imagination!

Color is a matte off-white, very close

to appliance white. Surface still shows

some minor defects that were

present in the original painted surface.

The bulb can be changed by lifting out

the entire works (which sit securely within the

metal ring that was intended to hold the

water bottle) or by reaching up from below

and unscrewing the three thumb screws,

then removing the globe/shade. The cord

could be run down a back leg and held

in place with white twist-ties.

As always, if you have any concerns about safety,

please have this checked out by an electrician

before using it. All electrical components are new.

Neither plant nor paperweight included.

Weighs about 12½ pounds.

Richard Chiwasa, born in 1947 in Harare, Zimbabwe,

creating animals and heads and was later taught to
sculpt on hard stones by Ganon Paterson an Anglican
Priest at the Nyarutsetso Art Center, after which time,
he went to Victoria Falls where he sold his soapstone
carvings to tourists until the liberation war caused
tourism to decline. He has had two exhibitions at
the Carlton Center in South Africa. Go here to read

Ireland. His ideas on political history and on the relations
between Ireland and England are highly emotional and
not entirely trustworthy. Hod."

My communications with an associate of Hodding
Carter III, assistant secretary of state in the Jimmy

Soft, flexible, braided, glass-bead

rope with knot and long tassels

below lampwork glass beads

(cobalt blue with white, pink,

and copper). Square rope is ¼"

thick; tassels are 3¾" long;

29½" long (if unknotted and

stretched out, would be a few

inches over 5 feet long).

Weighs just under 3 ounces.

One strand of the braid is broken

but is not losing beads; a few short

strands of thread are peeking out from

knot; one strand of a tassel is shorter

and has been tied off; the other tassel

has a loop of beads up near the large

bead (probably was brokern and tied

like that); has a few wrong-color beads

mixed in (indicates probably not factory-made).

This was part of a collection of Native

American/Indian jewelry and artifacts

and is definitely vintage; maybe Mohave.

See my other auctions for another

beaded rope necklace in rust-red.

Heavy braided, glass-bead rope

with long tassels below lampwork

beads (cobalt blue with white,

pink, and copper).

Square rope is a bit over ¼" thick;

tassels are 3¾" long;

27½" long (if unknotted and stretched

out, would be over 5 feet long).

Weighs about 3½ ounces.

One tassel strand is missing its bead

"knot" (someone has tied it off), and

there are threads hanging out of the

knot that look like they are just the

ends of the string and need to be

tucked in with a needle.

This was part of a collection of Native

American jewelry and artifacts and is

for-sure vintage; possibly Mohave.

See my other auctions for a black

beaded rope in the same style.

¼-inch plate glass insert has a 14"

etched flower, a hibiscus with leaves and

tendrils, in a two-tone technique -- frosted-

opaque and frosted see-through.

Legs have beveled caps on upper corners and

fit into table top (held with nuts and bolts).

Sides of table are clear plastic with grooves,

with the upper edge being opaque plastic.

Overall size is 31½" x 15¾" x 14½" tall.

Has been in my possession for at least 40 years

and was old when acquired. Not sure if it was a

mass-produced piece or a one-of-a-kind studio project.

Plastic has the typical stress marks (see when viewed
at an angle in bright light) and glue bubbles here and
there within/between the plastic; glass has one very
tiny ding in upper edge on one short side, and there
is a 1½" sliver of glass that appears to be missing
from the upper edge near one corner (may have always
been this way; difficult to notice when glass is in recess;
any glass shop could polish/grind the edges to remove
the sharpness); no scratches on glass. Very slight wear
and scratching (has been in air-conditioned storage
for over two decades).

Taking advantage of FREE LOCAL PICKUP
is the only way to guarantee the glass will
not be broken, although if it is tempered,
it is not particularly fragile.

Japanese screen not for sale.

Probably Deco-era, c.1920's - 1930's.

About 45" x 57"

Fabrics are fairly heavy and

look like rayon; the backing

is quilted turquoise satin.

Rectangles of various fabrics: pleat-like or

shirred texture in some; others are grosgrain

ribbon-like; some are shiny, some matte;

some are water-stained (in case you are not

familiar with that term, it does not mean

actually stained by water; it's a satin or satin-like

fabric that is woven to create a moire effect).

Colors are white, beige, blue, turquoise,

pale yellow, fuchsia, green, peach, pink, and

mauve, in pin stripes and wide stripes.

Could be used for a crib quilt, but may

have been intended as a lap blanket.

Padding is very thin; top is slightly

oversized for backing; stitching is sound.

Weighs a little under 2 pounds.

Very good condition with a few very

minor, small stains; no holes; no odors.

Vintage lamp made from ceramic

Satsuma vase mounted on

rosewood (?) Oriental stand

(vase sits in recess cut into center

of stand). Slip decoration and

gold diapering within hand-

painted figures/shapes (a Samurai?

Geisha?) plus flowers on the back.

Colors are dark green, moss green,

maroon, gold, light blue/sky blue,

Chinese red, on a tan background.

Uniform, fine crazing.

14" to top of vase; 16¾"

to top of porcelain socket insert.

Has unusual tin cone that fits

within neck of vase.

Original octagonal/octagon lamp

shade has four embroidered panels

and four pleated panels. Fine red

silk covers needlework sections

which show as shadow shapes when

illuminated by the bulb. Silk is worn

in places, especially on top (the gold,

metallic-braid trim could be removed,

and the silk could be replaced).

Shade is about 9" x 14¾" at

bottom; about 8½" tall at front.

Unusual to find the lamp and shade together.

Lampshade is intended to sit on metal

contraption which needs to be reconnected

(soldered) to vase cap (four little holes

accommodate the four metal legs);

someone has added a harp base (harp

not included) under the socket, so the

lamp could be used with a new shade.

Cord is about 80" long (not original); two-way

switch works fine. Lamp in excellent condition,

with exceptions noted above.

Lamp and shade will be shipped in separate
boxes, so please do not rely on the eBay
USP shipping calculator.

Three matching apothecary jar lids,
all the same basic style with slight
variations -- a daisy surrounded
by a sort of honeycomb design
with thumbprint edge.

The clear one has some bad chips in
bottom rim (fits inside jar) and along
rim that sits on canister (can be omitted
at buyer's option -- would reduce shipping
cost); the grayish one (beginning to turn
purple) has some small dings along both rims
(two on inner surface of bottom rim &
several small chips along edge of upper rim,
plus has a rough spot on edge of one of the
thumbprints and tiny dings in two others;
the sun colored one has no significant dings
in lower edge, lots of very small dings in
underside of rim that sits on jar, and what
looks like factory roughness along upper edge
(above thumbprints), plus what looks like a
shallow, smooth chip next to one of the
thumbprints but may also be a factory/mold glitch.

Lower collar: a tad over 3¼" outside
diameter at bottom and just under 3½"
diameter at the top of that collar.

3¾" diameter

This is a Pepsi promotional item,
©1978, that was displayed
at a fast food restaurant (Burger
King? Wendy's?) in 1977, in
association with the upcoming 50th
anniversary/birthday of Mickey Mouse.

Probably a fairly scarce item --
maybe the only one left - ???

It is heavy cardboard shaped like
the Disneyland castle, with Mickey,
Donald Duck (holding balloons), and
Pluto gazing up at the open window,
above which is a banner saying
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICKEY.

I can't remember what, if anything,
was in the window, but it might have
been a display of the prizes handed out
for each Pepsi purchase (there is no
platform; not sure there ever was one).
On the back, the window is "closed"
with a sign that says:

BUY A PEPSI AND GET A BIRTHDAY COIN

There are two folded pieces of cardboard
inside that act as hinges -- pull the front
and back apart and push the folds out
to keep the structure open.

Can be placed over a child
as a photo setting, and would
make a good stage for a kid's
puppet show.

35" x 60"

Very good to excellent condition;
has been in storage for thirty years;
a few minor bumps on edges; minor
scuffs and scratches; some light stains
on front, left side mostly, and
some splashing/running stains on the
FREE GIFT sign (spilled drink?); no odors

Too large to ship by conventional methods
(exceeds maximum 130" length plus girth);
buyer is welcome to send packer/shipper
of their choice.

Leonard Tsuguharu Foujita was a painter and printmaker, born in Tokyo (died 1968), who painted in Paris in the 1920s. This work is called In the Kitchen. A boy and a girl, looking very enigmatic and rather sad, are surrounded with kitchen utensils. Pots and pans hang on the walls, a perforated ladle and a grater, old pitchers. She appears to be peeling potatoes -- taking them from a basket and placing them on a plate in her lap. She's sitting in a chair with her brother leaning on the chair arm. Their clothing suggests eighteenth century France. 20" x 24", on heavy cardboard with textured surface (see second photo). Some edge wear (would be covered by frame); no odors.

I think this is an antimacassar, but
it might also be a table mat of some
purpose. Would be nice on any old,
upholstered easy chair. Two strips

thread) all around, with an insert
of crochet in a flower pattern.
The crochet section extends and
is turned to form a point (creates
a little triangular pocket at the back).

This hand-painted botanical-study/

botanical illustration/specimen

painting is on tissue-like paper,

possibly mulberry paper (nubby,

thready, off-white) which is affixed

at the upper corners to another

sheet of the same, obviously-

handmade paper, which is

attached with tape hinges to a

sheet of something like heavy

manila cardstock. Great skill is

demonstrated by the subtle detail

in the crest of the flower and the

little buds at the leaf nodes.

There are two Asian pictographs

in the lower-right corner that may

be stamped or may be hand-printed;

the flower genus and species is in

cursive in the lower-left corner.

It appears to read CELOSIA INOLATA,

but that species name does not show

up in online searches. The more

common name for the crested form

of this flower is CELOSIA CRISTATA.

Image area is about 11" x 14";

shipping size will be 15½" x 20"

Painting is in excellent condition (small

tear near signature); no odors.

Folding wall shelf made of bamboo, painted matte black with rust-orange highlights peeking through.
About 19" wide x 9½" high x 8½" front-to-back.
Very well-made. Has smaller twigs of bamboo set into the structure of the back, giving it an Eastlake look, and bamboo slats for the shelf (supported underneath with another piece of bamboo). Has a bit of a Chippendale or Eastlake look to it. At least 40 years old. Excellent condition.

Note that the shelf will not stand on its own -- the china hand in the photo is supporting it; shelf needs to be hung on a wall.

Sepia-tone photo of very large, five-story building under construction -- government office building? university? factory? However, note the Christian cross on the center gable. Masonry/brick walls are completed, as is the gabled roof and entrance stairways, but the interior is unfinished (scaffolding can be seen inside, probably for the plasterers or painters), the window glass is not yet installed, and the building is surrounded with bare earth. Construction crew in work clothes is posing on steps, plus a couple in a window, and two on the roof!
Photo is 8" x 10" Dark gray mat is 12" x 13¾"

Tapestry/brocade table mat, 12 x 13 (not quite round), with a craftsman-era design (eight-pointed star in center) in what looks like satin stitch. Colors are gold, purple, red, green, and royal blue, with black border stitching on a tan background (more like first photo). Looks like rayon (?). No holes; few minor stains (more apparent on back than on front); needs pressing; no odors.

Three crochet squares, one with three scalloped edges (13" x 12½") and two that are stitched together (13" x 23½") and have two scalloped edges each -- the beginning of a tablecloth or bedspread? Would make good pillow tops/centers. Though the attached pieces "want" to fold together, they will lie flat, especially if they were steamed. Same formal design on each, reminds me of something English, probably Craftsman-era. Clean, no holes (pulled thread on one edge could be worked back in easily); no odors.

About 23" round, linen tablecloth or tea cloth with scalloped edge (very nicely done buttonhole stitch). Daisies have french knots on petals, cut-work/cutwork centers (wagon wheel), and are surrounded with stemstitch and satin stitch leaves and eyelets.
No stains; ½" hole near edge, and a very small (1/8") beginning hole on opposite edge (both could be darned); no odors.

Four pairs of pin-on cuffs (7"-8", not
including the binding), one pin-on
collar (12" long; small tear at
left side), and one that might be a
child's collar or is just half of a pair
of cuffs (8").

All, with one possible exception, are
hand-embroidered, Victorian/Edwardian
era, in various methods, such as cut-
work, needle lace, etc. There is both
hand- and machine-stitching; two cuffs
have small darned spots; most are very
stiff/starched; some have mildew & other
stains; most appear to be fine linen;
one might be cotton (broderie anglaise);
another is a looser-weave linen.

Included is a padded (cotton batting),
cardboard-reinforced, silk- or satin-
covered storage folder (15" long) that
has wear on the top and on the ends
and needs the thread hinge restitched.
No odors on anything.

White circle (looks like linen) with 6" crochet lace border which has an insert of white cotton. The tablecloth will not lie flat if stretched out (because lace edging is slightly shrunk compared to the cloth center -- lace is stretchy), but it hangs nicely on a round table (table in photo is 20" diameter).
About 44" diameter
No holes. Has some small, light gold stains (three near center and two or three others on lace) which would very likey come out with bleach (I have not tried). No odors.

Clean and starched; at first examination, it looks unused, but there are a few stains. Two spots of subtle gray (almost just shading), one faint pinkish spot, and a couple other very insignificant spots. No holes. No odors.

Colors are gold, green, blue, coral, on brown background. Bird looks like it might be a partridge (not even sure it's supposed to be a bird -- perhaps just a scrolly design).
