Fab 1940s Black Man Restaurant Menu Board

Catalogue: Popular Collectibles: Memorabilia: Black Americana: Pre 1950   item# 192629 (stock# BA353B)

Fab 1940s Black Man Restaurant Menu Board

Stonegate Antiques
860-712-9565


$65.00 

Measuring approximately 23 inches high X 18 inches wide, this heavy cardboard restaurant menu from the 1940’s has never been used! This menu board was designed by the manufacturer to be a consumable, throw-away --- for jotting down the ever-changing, daily menu “Specials”!

Featuring a delightful, cartoon-like caricature of a black man, this board is in very good condition with minor edge wear, slight age-discoloration and a teeny missing piece of the front rim of the hat.

An interesting, seldom-found piece of Black Memorabilia!

Please disregard reflections in photos that are due to the presence of protective plastic wrap.

$135.00 

Measuring 13.5" X 21", this vintage, Ca 1920's, "Little Black Sambo" metal game board is similar in style and size to the better known and more common, Wyandotte Black Sambo metal game board. This version is EXTREMELY RARE and is considered to be an extraordinarily scarce Black Memorabilia collectible! I have only seen 2 in 22 years in the antiques business!

This game bears no manufacturer’s mark and retains its original cardboard backing without the metal stand, and, alas, has no (rarely found) game darts!!

Present are multiple surface blemishes, surface scratches, and dents and crimps to the metal that one would expect of a 70+ year old toy -all of which add to the vintage appeal of the piece. Considering the rarity of the item, such imperfections should be viewed by collectors as quite acceptable.

The piece has two very small holes at the top of the game that were likely added later to facilitate display. Please see all photos for representation of condition. Price is markedly reduced to reflect condition and is sold as is. If mint or near mint in condition, this rarely seen game board would command a price of $325 or greater!

White spots in photos are from camera flash and are not representative of any of this game's imperfections.

Fabulously bold visual imagery!

SOLD 

Measuring 8.5 inches high x 6.75 inches wide, this wonderful, 19th century, double-sided school slate remains in its original and sturdy, hard wood frame. Photos show both sides of the slate including a close-up view of a natural imperfection ---not damage!!!-- to the slate. This lovely piece comes from a multi-generation family estate in Vermont, and was no doubt once used in a one room New England Schoolhouse!

$38.00 

This circa 1940’s Black Mammy doll is diminutive in size and delightfully detailed!

Measuring just 6 ½ inches tall with a skirt circumference of 4 ½ inches, her head, torso, and arms are constructed of fabric with an inverted basket serving as her skirt. Her clothing is machine-stitched with attention paid to detail: teeny gold fabric braiding serves as earrings and necklace; delicate lace accents her skirt hem; her red shawl features zig zag stitching accents; her face is finely hand-painted.

A sweet addition to one’s Black Memorabilia or Doll collection!

$125.00 

Measuring 7.5 inches high x 7.50 inches wide x 3.50 inches high, this all-original, new-old-stock, cardboard display box for Whittemore’s Oil Paste Shoe Shine Polish of Cambridge, Massachusetts, is complete with all 12 of its original polish tins! It is presumed that all tins still contain polish--they are all closed too tightly to easily open for an inspection! That will be left to the new owner!

Interesting and extremely eye-catching graphics on both box and tins! Displays just wonderfully!

The cardboard box has some expected wear as seen in photos with small rips and abrasions, but it retains its structural integrity- still able to support the weight of twelve metal polish tins! The majority of the tins are in very, very nice condition as well with expected, slight superficial scratches here and there. Three of the twelve tins have a bit more surface wear to their lids than the others and are pictured as a trio for the buyer’s perusal---still very appealing.

A very difficult to find vintage country store display piece!

C1920s Cast Iron Hubley Black Mammy Soap Dish In fine form with very minimal paint loss as seen in photos, this wonderful circa 1920's, cast iron, Hubley BLACK MAMMY SOAP DISH is in all-original condition- no repaint!

Measuring 5 1/8 inches tall with soap dish attached, Mammy's colors- her deep red dress, mustard yellow shawl, and yellow and red polka dot head scarf- remain vibrant and brilliant with a wonderful old patina! Her face features large, dark eyes and a smiling, red mouth.

The soap dish is designed to be removed, and its anchoring cast iron peg fits into a hole atop Mammy's head. The exterior of the soap dish is cast to resemble a wicker laundry basket and is painted a slightly lighter-toned, mustard yellow.

A delightful, vintage piece of early Black Americana in premium condition!

RARE 19thC Hand Made Georgia Clay SLAVE Grave Markers

RARE 19thC Hand Made Georgia Clay SLAVE Grave Markers

Stonegate Antiques
860-712-9565


$495.00 each 

Measuring approximately 8.25 inches by 8.50 inches by 1.25 inches, these extremely RARE SLAVE GRAVE MARKERS are made of Georgia clay, hand-formed and fired during the 19th century on the plantation. The five grave markers for sale have been purchased from the owners of The Middle Passage Museum (see below for further information on this museum.).

Slave grave markers of any form are extraordinarily rare. Typically, slave graves were not marked or noted in any manner. Recent academic and archeologic research has authenticated burial sites containing marked slave graves that remain extant in various areas of the South. These graves remain designated by the placement of rocks, use of pipe, and even slave chain links.

The clay slave grave markers offered here were used in the Milledgeville, Georgia, area; Milledgeville was the capital of Georgia from 1804 through 1867. The symbols present on the markers -- the star and the cross --harken from the slaves' West African religious and cultural beliefs.

The Middle Passage Museum was the dream of Jim and Mary Anne Petty of Mississippi as well as that of an anonymous Georgian benefactor who had together compiled a collection of slave artifacts numbering over 15,000 pieces and who had hoped to find a permanent site in Mobile, Alabama, for their museum. While they formed a non-profit organization to raise funds for their hoped-for museum, their dream was never realized.

In a 2003 statement, Jim Petty remarked, "The importance of the exhibit of these artifacts is to understand the harshness of what slavery and segregation was all about. The items in the exhibit remind us of the terrible heinousness of slavery. Viewing the collection can be very emotional, but it is a tool through which we can understand, honor and respect a great culture. We want to realize that out of slavery, a great culture emerged, and carried on, and continued to strive for a better life regardless of the adverse conditions that were placed upon them."

One photo shows these very Slave Grave Markers on exhibit in February 2003, at Millsaps College, Mississippi, when the Petty's were still hopeful that their dream of a permanent Middle Passage Museum would be realized.

Please note that all five slave grave markers remain in all-original condition with various imperfections that occurred during the time of their creation or during their use. All five are photographically represented.
