*C.1875, Anglo-American Papier-mache wall clock, with an open spring time and strike movement, probably New Haven. *C.1870, Anglo-American, 8-day time & bell strike papier-mâché with MOP school house style wall clock. Condition: Black painted case with MOP & tole painted flowers and gold decoration is in very nice condition with some wear to the gold decoration. Original painted dial is very nice for its age. Hands are original. Movement was made by the New Haven Clock Co. *found these descriptions.

During the Victorian era, articles made from hair might be made by a home crafter, a professional hair weaver, or a jeweler. They fit exactly with the romantic and sentimental trends of the day. While many pieces of hair work 
were memorial pieces – especially in the wake of the Civil War – hair work became a popular craft, also celebrating special events and happy times. Lady’s magazines printed articles on how to make useful and decorative items from hair. Watch chains, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and brooches were popular items, as well as jewelry which incorporated the locks of a loved one. Victorian school children sometimes collected locks of hair from classmates, and put them into small binders, along with the year and name of the persons who had contributed the hair.
I should from this world
Depart you’d have a bit of my
Hair my hand and heart if we
Could no more each other see
You could still remember me

Incredible and Huge 14K Gold Ruby and Sapphire Masonic Pin / Pendant from the Cincinnati Lodge F& AM. Given to William Nadel, Past Master Mason . This Pendant is huge and is one of the finest example of a Past Master Pendant I have ever seen. This pendant has an art glass “All Seeing Eye” that is surrounded by a ruby encrusted C . It is enameled and has a glass “Man in the Moon” face that looks like Lalique Glass.It is marked 14k Dorst-Co cin.
Notes*** Today, the Eye of Providence is usually associated with Freemasonry. The Eye first appeared as part of the standard iconography of the Freemasons in 1797, with the publication of Thomas Smith Webb‘s Freemasons Monitor.[5] Here, it represents the all-seeing eye of God and is a reminder that a Mason’s thoughts and deeds are always observed by God (who is referred to in Masonry as the Great Architect of the Universe). Typically, the Masonic Eye of Providence has a semi-circular glory below the eye. Sometimes the Eye is enclosed by a triangle.
putting this up for bid on OnlineAuction.com….. thanks for reading my blog!!! xoxo
I just purchased this pin on http://www.onlineauction.com/
I am curious to the meaning of the bee. Note to self here is the link to an awesome blog I found!!
“The Bee and more prominently Beehive, has long been a symbol used in Masonic imagery. In fact, the Beehive as a signifier dates back to Roman times and has continued to symbolize Industry and Diligence. The idea that Bees working together and create something beautiful/valuable (honey) is appealing. (Also, did you know honey is the only edible substance that doesn’t go off? It may crystallize, but is still perfectly edible no matter how old it is). Napoleon believed the Bee was an appropriate symbol for the Empire because while the Bee could sting, it produced something sweet…I guess, just like the French? Ummm…might be pushing the metaphor a bit far there ol’ Nap.” Kate Obrien Creative
I think I should go back and buy this at the Antique Mall … Love it!
Max Allan Collins writes…
Indian Maidens is a selection of advertising art from the early to mid 1900’s. All pictures were intended to represent young Native American women at a time when many U.S. consumers had a romantic view of Native Americans. A thoughtful and realistic introduction by Max Allan Collins details some other art background in the art of the times and explains that the models were white women. Called “pinups” in the calendar art of the day, the women have bare feet and low necklines, but these are not R-rated pictures by today’s standards. This selection of beautifully drawn, painted, and detailed ads highlights a slice of American life with wistful views we find unrealistic, if not unacceptable, today.
Purchased beautiful yellow jade beads on OnlineAuction.com. Researching to find out what this symbol means, maybe you know?

Theda Bara made more than 40 films between 1914 and 1926, but complete prints of only six still exist. Most were produced by William Fox, beginning with A Fool There Was (1915) and ending with The Lure of Ambition (1919). The phenomenal success of A Fool There Was gave William Fox the money to found Fox Film Corporation, while the ensuing films ensured the studio’s success.
At the height of her fame, Bara was making $4,000 per week. She was one of the most popular movie stars, ranking behind only Charlie Chaplin and Mary Pickford.[8] Bara’s best-known roles were as the “vamp”, although she attempted to avoid typecasting by playing wholesome heroines in films such as Under Two Flags and Her Double Life. She also appeared as Juliet in a version of Shakespeare‘s Romeo and Juliet. Although Bara took her craft seriously, she was too successful as an exotic “wanton woman” to develop a more versatile career.
Most of Bara’s early films were shot on the East Coast, primarily at the Fox Studios in Fort Lee, New Jersey.[9] Bara lived with her family in New York City during this time. The rise of Hollywood as the center of the American film industry forced her to relocate to Los Angeles to film the epic Cleopatra (1917), which became one of Bara’s biggest hits. No known prints of Cleopatra exist today, but numerous photographs of Bara in costume as the Queen of the Nile have survived. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theda_Bara
A mason is known to protect his community, he is a preacher, a follower and also a protector of a secret society in which he believes. A person, who is not a mason, is not allowed to wear this ring. These are generally found in the fingers of many people, ranging from visionaries to celebrities. Nowadays wearing a masonic ring has just become a fashion more than a tradition. It is also a secret that how the antique masonic ringswas discovered and when the tradition of wearing it was started.Antique masonic rings Antique or vintage are those rings which the masons used to wear.Antique masonic rings have a design of a square and a compass on its crest.
