14 years ago, my mother-in-law came to live with us. Recently widowed, she left her house as it was, came to Oregon and said she was never going back home. We told her we would pack her house up, pack EVERYTHING, and bring here for her to sort through at her pleasure.
Her house was much like a museum, she was an avid and well known antique dealer and collector in Los Angeles in the mid to later 1900\'s.
We moved over 700 boxes of items from her house, along with many pieces of furniture. 1 of her pieces has been on the Antique Road Show.
I built a 7000 sq. foot building to accommodate all her collections. She never opened a box.
She died about 6 years ago, and we have just begun the process of going through the boxes ourselves.
It is an arduous process. Some items will go to concession dealers, some are given away, some things donated, some are kept and some things are offered here.
I used to write a bit of the history at the beginning of each ad, I have decided to write this, and when a bit of provenance fits, I will include this introduction. These items were collected many years ago by a very sweet and knowledgeable lady. Wish she was here to tell me about each item we offer, but, I am on my own, and will do my best to I unpacked a box with a number of these hat \"molds\" yesterday. I do not know much about them. But I will list each one, describe them. This sale is for the base that they all fit on. I will have a \"group\" photo so you can see them all together, should you want more than one and I can combine shipping.This particular mold is much thicker than the others. It has some age cracks.... there are 2 holes in the bottom and 2 metal \"studs\" on the top. OR... I have it upside down.. and the same is true, just reversed.... This is made of 4 seperate pieces, screwed together.
It is 12 1/4 inches by 9 inches and 4 1/4 inches thick (without studs).
All the other molds will fit onto this base, if that is indeed what it is. I have included a few pictures with another form. The extra form is on another sale, and is not included in this one. The picture is for reference only.This is old, I am not sure what it looked like when it was new..... please refer to the pictures for started selling on when was new to the world, and was a great place to offer unique items to a broad audience. Then, the monster of greed came, and transformed into something I disliked, a lot. I quit selling using .I was a gold seller, I had 1000\'s of great responses, a couple of negs ( I have learned some people are impossible to please). Now, I still have a 7000 sq. ft. building, filled with 100\'s mystery boxes inherited from an avid antique dealer who had a great eye. SOOO, here I am again, and just relearning the \"new\" . The fees have risen ( even takes a precentage of shipping charges!), and the marketplace has changed, but, it still offers a larger audience than I can find elsewhere.
Never know what is in the next box! Shipping is for USA lower 48, all other addresses will be calculated.Because I am a returning seller to , your response is important to establish trust with future buyers. I would very much appreciate pos. response once you receive the item and are satisfied with your purchase. I will reciprocate in kind. Thanks.
