Really love those curtain panels! Wow!!!

 

[DamianM]

They sure are. I was actually in the market for early bark cloth panels but they are so expensive. So I scored on these. And Payed practically nothing for them.
The Gods Of Vintage Smiled down at me I guess.

Ear to ear, by the looks of it.

Great scores, each and every one.

Looks like a bud vase made out of a fork and hollow knife handle. You should be able to find the pattern in some of the silverware books out there. That would give you a relative date as to when they were manufactured originally. Then you can figure they were made some time after that date. The knife is a different pattern than the fork. It looks like what they used to call Tramp Art.
I like it! For a buck, I think you did just fine.
Perhaps some one else could elucidate further.

Did some Googleing and found a bud vase made from a bent fork and knife handle...also found this "toothpick holder" in a similar style

Hi Folks

I found some great pieces at the local thrift today. However I was unable to load them for your viewing pleasure.
I received a message from the adminstrator not sure why. My guess I don't have enough post just yet to post pic's.
Is this correct? Anyway when I have permission to post pics I will. Thank you folks.
I enjoyed seeing all your great finds and cant wait to share mine.
Best regards

Toothpick holder looks to be more useful for that size. Either way, you still did just fine for a buck.

Hi Folks

Does one need a certain amount of post before one is allowed to post pic's?
TIA.
