The Star Made Me Buy It

Today we actually have a twofer:

Both Louis Calhern, and Walter Huston for Williams Shaving Cream.

I've never heard of Williams Shaving Cream, but I have heard of Lectric Shave, which was a Williams product.

Both men appeared in two of my favorite movies.

Louis Calhern as the spy boss in Notorious, which stars Cary Grant at his handsomest.

Walter Huston as Sam Dodsworth in Dodsworth, one of the best - and certainly one of the most grown-up - movies of the 1930s.

April 2024's First Haul of Antiques and Untiques

We haven't had a haul for you in over two months!

Didn't realize it was that long, but it was.

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

Soooo, here's what we got:

 SUPER neato cast iron napkin holder/letter holder

Note that the color is BLACK, and not the light-ish charcoal-ish color it appears to be in the photo.  It's "black black black like Othello," which is a line from I Am a Camera, a play I was in back in 1999 at Magnet Theater Company in Trenton, NJ.  (It ain't there no more).

In addition to playing one of the characters, I taught the actors playing the German characters the German accent, since I've taken tons of German classes. 

And actually made a TON of money doing the accent in an industrial film a few years later.

Wanna pronounce it like a German would? "Bleck bleck bleck like Otello.'

======================================================================

1940s Fostoria 'Romance' pattern candelabras

I could see these on a movie set circa 1947.

Some movie about rich women suffering in mink.

======================================================================

Here's something REALLY fun, to wit: tins/jars from 1910-1940, most of which are still full!


 Winner take ALL !!

========================================================================

chased metal and cobalt glass jars

=========================================================================

think pink !

pink moonglow lucite cuff bracelet

=======================================================================

Thus ends today's collection.

More later this week.
