Earrings measure 2 inches long and are set with little rhinestones. These are in excellent condition...

Several clear 'handles' come out of the sides. Dish measures 11 inches across to the clear edges by 2 inches high. Bottom has a pontil. Very slight wear to bottom...

This amazingly carved 1930's art deco buckle is a dead ringer for genuine Bakelite but this is FRENCH Bakelite...called Galalith. It's been used since 1897 and is made of organic materials. The dark olive green buckle is carved with an openwork center. One half is large...the other small. The original MADE IN FRANCE tag still hangs from the buckle. Back is smooth and has a series of loops which is how this would be attached to fabric...

I'm not sure if you'd call these machine age, space age or Eames era candle holders but they're vintage and have a great look. Made of aluminum, these are hefty and well designed. No markings but the clean, simple lines have the look of Scandinavian makers. The candlesticks measure 3 1/4 inches high by 3 3/4 inches across the base. Just a tiny bit of pink wax at the inside bottom says they were used but overall, condition is excellent.

Dorothy loved the Tinman and you'll love this one-of-a-kind vintage BRASS MAN figural pin who looks a lot like the Esquire man with top hat, bowtie and monocle. He's a piece of work...literally! He's from the 1930's...a handmade sculptural piece that's highly stylized and pure art deco. No wimp, he measures 3 1/4 inches across his stick arms by 3 1/4 inches high. His patina is perfectly aged with coppery highlights. I'm sure he'd polish up to a bright shine but he just looks too happy as he is...
