    Vintage crochet baby cap Antique handmade Elaborate Fancy infant christening baptismal design gown accessory

    $12.00
    This gorgeous hand made baby cap comes with a hand written story: "I got Mrs Johnson at Plainview Ark to crochet it for me when Claude was baby. Then Gene came along, so they both wore it. I have saved it for the great grand baby with the pennies jar. Mom and Dad"
    Lovely crochet work. In the center is a dark staining that I presume could be soaked out with biz or oxi clean. Although photographed somewhat flat, it is rounded to fit a baby's head. Cream in color.
    Vintage circular gold black dress shoe clips victorian design edwardian majestic elaborate

    $9.00
    These round clips measure 7/8" diameter. They are rimmed with strips of gold that also form the clip on the back. I am not exactly sure what these were used for but assume they were for dress adornment. Also not sure what age they are, 1920s 40s 60s. They are just lovely though and I hope that you can find some project for them.
    Vintage antique lace collar lord fauntleroy lady gaga edwardian spinster romantic revival victorian ecru large

    $12.00
    Gorgeous lace collar, presumed totally handmade. Color is a ecru color. Needle lace made with a beautiful pattern of flowers and vines and leaves. The designs have a tiny cording type of outline and are filled in with very tightly woven lace. There are scalloped edges. One hole on one side, measuring about the size of a dime. I think it could possibly be reworked if you needed to do so. This is so intricate that I think you could get away with using it as is.
    the inside circumference is 27 1/2".

Frayed ends, and 44 " in total length. Just lovely and I believe it is silk. One very faint teensy greyish mark, not really noticeable. No smells or other imperfections.

    Vintage 1940s Peep Toe Platform snakeskin slingback shoes size 7 1/2 slim Brown

    $32.00
    These shoes are super stylish vintage from the 1940s, but not in the best condition. They are good though when you realize that they are over 60 years old! They are perfectly wearable and the buckle works just fine. There are a few nicks in the snakeskin and there is one 1" length place on each shoe, both sides, where the skin is unattached from the sole. Not really any big deal and it certainly does not affect the wearability . There is also some cracking and spots were the leather lining is cracked.
    Shoes measure: length 9 3/4" and width is 2 5/8". The skins is not hard, so there is a little flexibility to the width here.
    I Miller is the brand.
