Pair of Adorable Easter Bunny Rabbit Figurines w/ Decorated Eggs

AlleyAdmin@flashbackalley.com (Holly) — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 12:56:24 -0700

A pair of vintage Easter bunny rabbit figures, made in Japan and originally purchased at Stix, Baer & Faller, likely in the 1970s. Each rabbit stands just shy of 4" high, but appears far from shy, with big alert eyes keeping guard over the decorated Easter egg they hold. With one figure pink and the other blue, the eggs are matching in color, just a bit bolder.

I originally thought these were ceramic, but on closer inspection, it appears they are more of a lightweight plaster-like construction. Each retains the original Stix Baer Fuller price tag as well as a "Made In Japan" foil label, with the letters "MY" in the center of the ring formation. In excellent condition, with no damage noted.

For those unfamiliar with the name, Stix, Baer & Fuller, was a department store chain that operated here in St. Louis from 1892 to 1984.

Vintage Chenille Santa Christmas Boot Candy Container

AlleyAdmin@flashbackalley.com (Holly) — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 12:24:18 -0700

Almost perfectly preserved and downright adorable, this old Christmas candy boot appears to be made of a thin cardboard, painted white, and then coated in a tiny white popcorn beading with gold glitter accents. Riding on the front of the Christmas boot is a red chenille Santa, with a sprig of holly to add a touch of green. At the top of the boot is a loop satin thread trim with a white netting to allow the boot to be filled beyond the brim, with candy and other goodies kept secure by the pull string top.

Boot measures 4" high to the boot rim (excluding the netting), and is 4-1/4" long toe to heel. Blue ink Japan stamp on the underside, along with the original store price tag.

In fabulous condition, with just a bit of the popcorn missing.

Offered here is a mix of 8 vintage Christmas holiday greeting cards that appear to date around the 1950s.� A couple of the cards have unusual, irregular side panels that interlock at the center, while one of the cards (the oil lamp) has a cutout section at the center with a transparent crackle-like film giving a more realistic look.� All cards are in very good condition, with some discoloration to the envelopes, mostly at the glue seams. �

The largest card is the Christmas carolers (6" x 5"), with the others just slightly smaller.

Lot of 5 Figural Suni Santa Candles

AlleyAdmin@flashbackalley.com (Holly) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 12:35:15 -0700

Ho, Ho, Ho! Here we have a group of five adorable figural Santa candles manufactured by Suni, likely dating to the 1980s. Each candle stands 3-1/2" high and is approx. 3-/4" thick. None have ever been lit, and all are generally in very good condition, with no detracting damage. (One Santa has a bit of extra red wax on his beard, which could be removed with a bit of careful attention, and another Santa's beard has an indentation at the tip.)

Vintage Yuletide Santa Claus Cycle Friction Toy - Never Opened

AlleyAdmin@flashbackalley.com (Holly) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 12:34:37 -0700

Likely from the mid-1970s or early 1980s, this friction toy features a rather sleek, slim Santa carrying a similar-sized yellow bag of goodies on a bright green three-wheeler cycle with red handles and wheels. Never removed from the blister pack, this Yuletide friction toy measures approx. 4" high and 4-1/4" front to back wheel. Made in Hong Kong for Yuletide Enterprises of New York.

Honeycomb Tissue Paper Balls - Made in Italy - Unopened

4 Indent Christmas Ornaments Shiny Brite Double Indents Plus

AlleyAdmin@flashbackalley.com (Holly) — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 07:06:28 -0700

Adding to my vintage Christmas offerings, here we have a lot of four 1950s era indent ornaments. Three of the ornaments are striped double indent Shiny Brite, with the larger two decorated with mica sprinkling around the body. The fourth, larger ornament is rather unusual, but a mystery, likely West Germany or possibly Shiny Brite, but I can't be certain as it's missing its ornament cap. (I currently don't have a replacement to add and complete this hanging ornament.) It appears the center of this ornament may have originally come to a point, although I can't imagine it would have extended much beyond its current state, as it's depth almost reaches to parallel the outer rim.

Interested in any of my other holiday decorations? Many of them are lightweight, and with combined shipping, it's almost Christmas in a box!

3 Old Figural Christmas Light Bulbs - Santa, Frog, Gifu Lantern

AlleyAdmin@flashbackalley.com (Holly) — Wed, 18 May 2011 09:08:34 -0700

For the individual who just loves old Christmas collectibles and the delight of figural lightbulbs, gathered here is a group of three different 14 volt bulbs, all made in Japan circa 1940. First up is a two-sided/two-faced Santa head, accompanied by a resting frog, and a Gifu Chinese lantern. Each light bulb has a milk glass base, hand-painted in colors now largely worn, but charming nonetheless. I have no means of testing and confirming that these work, and I speculate the frog may not. (It's the only one that has that hushed rattle often associated with a light filament.)

Measurements on the glass portion are: Santa - 2" long; frog - 2-1/2" long; lantern 2-5/8" long. All three for one great price!

Santa Nordic Ware Cake Mold Vintage Aluminum

AlleyAdmin@flashbackalley.com (Holly) — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 16:45:50 -0700

From America's finest heavy aluminum ware, offered here is a fabulous heavy formed aluminum Nordic Ware cake mold bringing Santa to your house just as he should be -- in three-dimensional form atop the chimney. Still securely wrapped in its original package, this two-piece cake mold stands approx. 9-1/2" tall, with the cake height more in the 9" range. There are a couple of points where the seam in the wrapping has split, but I detect no damage to the aluminum form itself. Label indicates that "detailed instructions and recipes to bake delicious attractive cakes" are included. (Cake baking instructions are on the label itself, but inside is ... something lightweight; a booklet, maybe?). Circa 1970.

Perfect for the upcoming holiday season, this lovely Oneida Patrician silverplated cake/pie server still awaits its debut showing, despite being 35 years old. (Yes, it's still securely wrapped in its original packaging!)

The serving blade measures 4" long and 2" wide, and has a partially open decoration of holly berry leaves and Christmas bells, and a Merry Christmas seasonal greeting around the server end. The back is stamped "Community" and the handle is in the Patrician silverplated pattern patented by Oneida Silversmiths in 1975. A lovely piece to add cheer to your holiday entertaining!

Santa and Mrs. Claus Kissing Salt and Pepper Shaker Set

AlleyAdmin@flashbackalley.com (Holly) — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 14:42:49 -0700

An adorable kissing set of Santa and Mrs. Claus salt and pepper shakers, made in Japan. Likely dating to the 1960s, these measure approx. 3-1/2" high and are in very good condition. Mrs. Claus has a bit of excess slip under her slip, as does Santa on his left heel, all as original painted. The white spot you see at the back of Mrs. Claus's dress looks to be a glaze rub or point of contact before the glaze had set. (It's not a chip or other type of damage.) Santa has retained his original stopper, however Mrs. Claus has not.

A cute set to help decorate your holiday table this season.

1960s Santa and Mrs Claus Salt and Pepper Shaker Set

AlleyAdmin@flashbackalley.com (Holly) — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 17:53:32 -0700

Here we have yet another wonderful piece of old Christmas, still in its original box! These Santa and Mrs. Claus salt and pepper shakers look to be a set of huggers, or maybe looking to catch a quick kiss under the mistletoe. After all these years, they certainly look as though they're still playful, spry, and in love.

Measuring approx. 3-1/4" high, it would appear they have never been used; the rubber stoppers are still loose in the box, a bit dry after all these years, but looking as though they've never been put in their place. Santa's got a couple of tiny scrapes to the cold paint, but overall, a wonderful pair with no nicks, chips, or cracks. Box is marked "214 / 5688 E 1 Pr. Made In Japan".

I have a variety of other holiday goodies, which can be found by clicking on the "Holiday/Seasonal" link to the left (in the Categories box).� I'm more than happy to combine shipping.

AlleyAdmin@flashbackalley.com (Holly) — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 16:11:12 -0700

This hand-painted ceramic Santa face ashtray is still in its original packaging, appearing to have never been used. Although its original intended design/purpose was that of an ashtray (note the cigarette rests molded into the beard), this delightful piece would also make a wonderful ring or little open trinket dish. Manufactured in Taiwan for Chadwick-Miller. Measures 4" x 3-3/4"; in excellent, unused condition.

I have other holiday goodies listed or yet to list, and am always happy to combine shipping.
