Decorative treasures span cultures and centuries, from Fu/Foo Dog Chinese guardian lions to a Rose Canton-style porcelain piece, Capodimonte wall art, and antique oyster plates from Austria, Germany, Cauldon England, and 1800s majolica style.

There are exceptional pieces including Bohemian Czech cut-to-clear glass, Fenton fairy lamps and baskets, Waterford crystal, and a vintage Fenton velva rose stretch melon bowl. Add to that the charm of a Dresden porcelain figurine, a F.B. Miller signed platter, and a Bee Hive crystal biscuit jar.

Find nostalgia and Americana with a 1982 GI Joe and Superman lunchboxes, a Masters of the Universe He-Man lunchbox, and an original Marx electric train set alongside vintage Lionel models. Gaming and pop-culture collectors will find rare 1980s Dungeons & Dragons and Atari posters, a 1982 Demon Attack video game poster, and even a Skybox DC Comics card set. The offering also includes vintage Harry Potter first editions and a Harry Potter Sorcerer’s Stone pop-up book.

Advertising and Black Americana are also included with framed Cream of Wheat, Camel Cigarettes Santa, and Lucky Strike advertisements, as well as rare Black Americana salt and pepper shakers, cookie jars, postcards, and sheet music like the 1875 “Old Log Cabin in the Lane”. Circus posters from Barnum & Bailey and Nabisco add color and historic charm.

Other distinctive finds include a vintage Cleveland Browns leather jacket, Chanel No. 5 mini bottles, a WOW Wee Mega-Byte hound droid robot, Wild Turkey decanter with seal intact, and a Marvin Bailey ugly face jug. Unique decorative highlights range from Talavera ceramic wall art to a Venetian-style masquerade mask, bronze art deco bookends, and an ornate vintage photograph in an oval frame.

This is a catalog of depth and breadth, offering something for every taste: fine antiques, rare advertising, mid-century décor, toys, trains, glass, jewelry, fashion, and cultural memorabilia.
