A calendar from 1936 entitled 'Me & My Dog' by Adelaide Hiebel - the dog's face is just wonderful.
Adelaide Hiebel was the finest and most highly paid, self-styled, female artist of her time. Born in 1879 at New Hope, Wisconsin, she joined the Art Institute of Chicago.
It is a sample calendar so only has the page for January 1936.
The picture measures 24x18cm.
This cute little calendar is from 1959 & depicts a lucky black cat with a crystal ball.
'Happy Days Are Here To Stay'!
There is no hanging tab but there is a small hole so you'd need to add a little bit of ribbon or string to hang it.
The back has an inscription from parents to their children.
The picture measures 23x16cm.
This vintage calendar is from 1951 & depicts a handsome horse looking over the stable door - the horse & stable door is a cut out which is attached over the base giving it a 3D effect.
As this was a sample calendar it doesn't have a full calendar & only shows January 1951.
There is no hanging tab so you'd need to add a little bit of ribbon or string.
The picture measures 20x15cm.
This is a charming set of 5 envelopes which have been handmade from damaged vintage children's books.
They are C6 size & will hold a standard card or quartered A4 sheet of paper.
5 blank address labels are included.
Just moisten the top edge of the flap to seal like a regular envelope.
As these are all different you will receive a random selection, but they are all charmingly vintage in style.
A great way to post your handmade cards or special letters!
1930's Vintage
What a cute card this is!
By the famous Mabel Lucie Attwell, it shows a little child with old fashioned curling tongs & various items of make up.
The card reads:
A Jolly Birthday!
May you be glad on your birthday morn
An' thanking your stars that you were born.
The card has been used & has an inscription on the back to "Dear Bernard" & a 1d postage stamp.
The date is a little obscured but it appears to be 1938.
Considering it's age it is in really good condition.
