Neat items -- 2 pairs of thigh (elastic top) fishnet stockings! Both pairs are black and have seams. Never worn -- these are old store stock that I purchased at an estate sale. Don't miss these -- they're great!!

This listing has "new" old store stock -- Van Raalte stockings! These are not sheer stockings (see photo), they DO have seams and have a beautiful design at the ankle that goes up the leg about 6" (reminds me of fishnet). Stockings have reinforced heels, toes, and tops. They are stamped on toes: Van Raalte, Matestripe. Original price tag is gently basted to top -- not stick on and not stapled!

This is a very nice vintage Army souvenir listing! There's a blue hanky holder (pink interior) -- has "U.S...

I will describe this Christmas table topper very briefly because you have to see the photos to appreciate the beauty of this vintage handmade item!

It is made of a heavy weight felt material, is a soft white color and scattered around are hand sewn stars with bead centers.

There are 4 large applied felt "ornaments" that are decorated with beads, leaves, etc. and each ornament has a velvet bow "hanger" with round glass ornaments.

Topper is round and has gold color fringe...

These vintage aprons are lovely – there’s a black and white gingham and a brown and white gingham!

They are decoratively embellished with what is now simply called cross stitch but when originally stitched on gingham it was called “chicken scratch” (before counted cross stitch!).

I purchased these at an estate sale and they are in new, never used condition. They have been laundered, lightly starched and ironed (by me) and are from a smoke free environment...

For all you collectors of poodle related items, this listing is for you! Listing has a chef poodle kitchen towel, a guest towel with an embroidered poodle, and a poodle apron! The colorful towel shows gray poodles cooking vegetables – this is a “book” piece and can be seen in “Fun Linens & Handkerchiefs of the 20th Century” with a price range of $25-$35. The poodle guest towel (also a book piece) has a hand embroidered fancy gray poodle...

Beautiful Bates chenille bedspread! Per label, this is “George Washington's Choice”. Bedspread is full size (89” x 110” with 3 1/2" fringe) and is in excellent condition.

These napkins are so neat! There’s a set of 6 napkins each with red wine glass and grapes border and centers have sayings such as “He who goes to bed and goes to bed mellow, lives as he ought to, and dies an honest fellow” – all 6 are different.

Napkins are in wonderful condition. They have been laundered, lightly starched and ironed (by me), and are from a smoke free environment...

The detail on this kitchen towel is outstanding! It depicts the contents of an old general store in New Harmony Indiana – there’s a pickle barrel, sacks of beans and salt, a barrel of lard, etc.

Towel is a Warren Boucher design and it has never been used – still has the “KayDee handprints” paper label.

It's made of 100% pure linen and measures 30 ½” x 17”.

I purchased this towel at an estate sale and it’s a super collectible!

This listing has a state souvenir handkerchief for California!

Hanky measures 13 3/4" x 13 1/4" and has very pretty scalloped edging -- frames beautifully!

It is in excellent condition with bright colors. Lots of detail on this souvenir hanky!

As with all my vintage hankies, this one has been laundered, lightly starched and ironed (by me), and is from a smoke free environment...

Mint condition humorous hanky showing a party animal (elephant) the morning after the party!

He wants to know “Who turned out th’ lights?”, “What wuz in that last one?”, as well as “Wish I wuz dead!”.

Hanky measures 14” x 14” and is in mint condition.

A word about shipping -- hankies are shipped via insured first class mail package rates...

Ready for gift giving or to add to a handkerchief collection, this is a clever and attractive display item!

Still in the original box (apparently never removed) is a paper doll lady (top only) with a hanky folded like a skirt, she “wears” a ribbon stole, and folded neatly on one side of the box are 5 more hankies!

I’ve collected hankies for many years and this is the only paper doll hanky lady I’ve seen...

This listing has a vintage birthday greeting card with a lovely vintage handkerchief!

The card looks like a basket of flowers and has a white hanky with a corner of lace netting flowers.

Card has “to and from” names written on inside...

This listing has a super neat vintage celluloid hanky box that has been a part of my handkerchief collection for some time!

The box is in wonderful condition – it has a small chip on one corner. The interior lining has no holes or rips and appears to be original.

Box measures 5 3/8” x 5 3/8” and is 2 ½” tall.

This listing has your choice of vintage nylon dress gloves! They are the same style – one pair is dark blue and is size 5, the other pair is pink and is size 4.

Both are new, never worn old store stock from a local dry goods store that closed in the early 1970’s. Gloves still have their original tags...

Beautiful tatting edges on these twelve handkerchiefs!

I never knew how work intensive tatting was until I purchased a vintage “how to” book – no wonder tatting is becoming a lost art.

Hankies have been laundered (no pre-soak or spot treat), lightly starched and ironed (by me), and are from a smoke free environment...

There are twelve lovely handkerchiefs in this listing – each with crochet edging and a fancy corner!

Hankies have been laundered (no pre-soak or spot treat) lightly starched and ironed (by me), and are from a smoke free environment.

I am including an extra hanky at no charge. Also please know that the very pretty pink/yellow/white butterfly hanky has a couple pin holes and is being included but is not counted in total – it’s just too pretty to discard...
