May's Vintage Alphabet Party

It's time for the monthly Vintage Alphabet Party   Somehow, I missed April's party for letters E and F.  So today we are doing letters G and H. 

G stands for German baskets.  Here is a small collection that I have.

They really may not be called German baskets, but  mine are marked Germany on the bottom.

I am not sure of their purpose besides just being decorative.  They might be souvenir items since this blue one is marked Souvenir of Detroit, Michigan.  If any one knows more, please comment.

For this party, H will stand for that great radio, television, and movie cowboy hero-Hopalong Cassidy.  Here are pictures of Mr. W. from the early , early 1950's all decked out in his Hopalong cowboy suit equipped with his six shooters.

This outfit is the real McCoy.  Can you see Hoppy's picture on the front?

What would life be without a Hopalong official knife?

I am so glad you stopped by Applejack Lane today.  Visit Melody at Etsy Cottage Style for more participants on Vintage Alphabet Sunday.

Vintage Alphabet Party

It's time for the Vintage Alphabet Party.  This month we are doing letters C and D.

With Easter around the corner, all eyes turn to candy so my letter C is for Candy containers.  At the turn of the twentieth century, candy makers used glass toys in various shapes as containers for their pellet-like candy.  These are in demand by collectors.  Candy containers with original paint, candy, and closures command a high price. 

Candy containers served to outline American history, particularly transportation. This horse and cart is pretty common...

  This container depicts the WW II  Jeep...

The paper label on the bottom shows the candy ingredients and factory location-Jeanette, Pennsylvania...

A speed boat...

An army bomber with original decal on the front...

This coupe reminds me of one of our family cars...

A little locomotive with a tin closure...

A hen with a tin slide bottom...

My parents had this bulldog for years. I had no idea what it was..

A clock with a tin closure...

The bottom of a lantern with the ingredients and factory location imprinted in the glass...

My very favorite-a Santa figure with a tin closure...

And now for the letter D.   Applejack Lane has gone to the dogs...

An antique doorstop...

An old calendar picture now framed...

An ABC bowl and mug...

A German lead dog figure...

A refurbished brass lamp...

A sassy little terrier...

Mama and her pups...

A cute little pair...

A picture of my dad with his dogs from the 1930's...

Thanks for stopping by Applejack Lane.

Collecting Blue Bristol Glass Vases

Welcome to Applejack Lane!  I opened a cabinet to do some spring cleaning and realized I had a collection of B for  blue Bristol glass vases.  I added a hand vase to the mix.
