Vintage Dress patterns
We are overwhelmed with vintage dress patterns, Butterick, Burda, Style, Simplicity, New Look. You name it and we probably have it, I will catalogue these asap but in the meantime, if you are near Berwick, worth popping in to the shop for a look.
Unique metal sign from Baltit Fort
This sign relates to the restoration of Baltit Fort in the 1940s and is probably unique. Who knows how it ended up here, maybe one of the team that did the restoration brought it back with him. A charming and whimsical piece warning tourists of the dangers of being where they shouldn’t.
Industrial table lamp
Is industrial grunge the right word for this one off articulated desk lamp? Would fit well with the industrial vibe so popular at the moment. Can be set in a number of different positions. A definite style statement.
Fabulous pair of American pinking shears
Well worn and patinated but fabulous pair of pinking shears from the Pinking Shears Corporation of New York City. Who knows how many garments they have been used on. Real collectors piece.
Rabone and Chesterman tapemeasures
One Rabone and One Chesterman tapemeasure. Lovely vintage condition, over 60 years old.
1960’s roll top Swedish desk
This desk is in lovely condition and has retained its shine. It has the Made in Sweden mark on it but we have not been able to find a makers plate. We think it might be attributed to Broderna Gustaffson, very much in that style.
Stick Stand
A cast aluminium (or other light metal) stick stand with the image of a sailor standing on a pedestal above crossed anchor and spade(?) 28 inches tall. We are not sure of the history of this, the imagery is quite complicated, but attractive none the less.
Books
“The Berlin Airlift” describes the scope and conduct of this famous logistical nightmare. “Unseen Archives” provides a great pictorial insight into life in wartime Britain, based on Daily Mail archives. And “Leisure” sets out all the ways in which a woman might have created income from her hobbies and associated skills. Published in the 1950s.
