Gorgeous Victorian Era Mother of Pearl and Cut Steel Belt Buckle Clasp This large round clasp is from the late Victorian era, I am thinking 1880s-1900 with the Eastlake influence to the carving and pierce work. Each half has a center of cut steel work and has a button style sewn on back. The hook and loop appear to be brass plated and are attached with a domed rivet. You can see the solder on the back quite well. It’s possible this was a set of buttons converted to a clasp, but if so, it was done amazingly well and in the period. Marks: None Size: when fastened: Length: 3.5”, Width: 1.5” Condition: some discoloration and age to the metal parts, one side has some flaking off of the pearl only on the back. Price: $45 |

1960s Vintage Black Felt Hat with Pine Cones by Caspar Davis This quirky hat appeals to me. The base is a black felt with a bucket front. The quirky is the wreath of glitter pine cones and green leaves across the front with black veiling behind it. Caspar Davis was a well known Hollywood maker of quality hats. He was often mentioned and advertised alongside such artists as G. Howard Hodge and Leslie James. Caspar Davis received national newspaper coverage from at least 1941 to 1969. Two lines were mentioned: “Studio Styles” and “Movie Mode”. Prices ranged from $25 - $45, so these were expensive hats. Caspar Davis used Hollywood studio starlets to model hats for much of their advertising, certainly using the glamour of film to add cachet to the lines. The Pittsburgh Post Gazette in 1941 called Caspar-Davis one of California’s outstanding designers. In 1955, Caspar Davis is credited with hats for the TV series, My Little Margie. Label: An Original Studio Style designed by Caspar Davis of Hollywood Size: Crown: approx. 19.5” Overall: 8.5” X 9” Condition: No spots or stains. Only one leaf was remaining, so we were able to find period leaves that were a good very good match and replaced the missing ones. Price: $55 |

Victorian 1850s - 1860s Bone Handle Carriage Parasol in Green and Tan Plaid We offered a blue parasol recently, now we have a green plaid.

The cover is a silk in forest green, golden tan and black plaid with two layers of silk fringe at the edge and top. Label: none Size: Length when extended: 24", 16" Across Condition: Very Good, with one small split as shown. The hook end of the handle screw on and off, but will not screw all the way down leaving a gap as shown. Perhaps the metal screw needs to be shortened or the bone drilled out a bit? Or just a ribbon tied around it? I do not recommend opening this all the way. The silk will not take the stress. Price: $195 |
