An Eclectic Blend

An eclectic blend of interesting finds. A table top lightening rod, rather uncommon in the western states.  Some colorful advertising die cuts and vintage bingo cards.  Also a stoneware crock from the 1800's era.  

And a Cingolani accordion from 1940-1950 that was played by my husband Rick, in the 1960's!  Being Italian, it was almost required that he learn to play it, although he said he'd rather play the electric guitar! The red keys make it an unusual piece.  

You never know what you'll find at Vintage Gal Antiques...

Retro Style

Are you more of a Retro gal, instead of a Vintage gal?  You will fall in love with these gorgeous embroidered suede calfskin boots made by Joan & David circa 1968.  Soft buttery calfskin-lined with amazing embroidered designs on the front of each boot.  Excellent condition.  $95


Or some glitzy handbags, which were all the rage in the early 60's. Some came in kits that you could personally adorn with sequins and rhinestones.  Others were made and signed by Enid Collins, now very collectible.  $45-$65

And, then who could forget sweet Doris Day and sparkley rhinestone necklaces from the 1950-1960 era? $25-$75

Farmhouse Kitchen Decor

Graniteware was produced throughout the Midwestern and Eastern United States from 1870 until the end of WWII.  Patented in 1848 by New York inventor Charles Stumer, graniteware was also known as agateware, enameled ware and speckleware.

Close cousins of graniteware are those pieces whose grays and other colors were mottled or marbled.  Colors appeared to blend into each other or swirl separately to create random, eye-catching patterns.  

Chrysolite Swirl, a deep green and white swirled pattern and Cobalt Blue Swirl are hard-to-find examples of mottled enamelware.  Vintage Gal Antiques has a nice selection of kitchenware in these two unusual colors. 

Also popular are porcelain enameled bread and flour boxes.  Many reproductions are currently being produced, but the examples shown here are original pieces from the 1930's.  Perfect for your farmhouse style kitchen!
