Charming vintage set of six hand-embroidered cotton kitchen towels, dated 1940–1950. Each towel is decorated with colorful embroidered chickens and roosters, presented in cheerful and expressive scenes described as having a distinctive “vacation essence.” The embroidery is carefully executed, with lively details and a playful folk-art character that gives each piece its own personality. These towels reflect the mid-century tradition of transforming practical household textiles into decorative objects. During this period, kitchen linens were often embellished with hand embroidery, bright colors, and familiar domestic motifs. Chickens and roosters were especially appealing subjects because they evoked the rural landscape, the household garden, the farmyard, and the warmth of everyday country life. Each towel is further personalized with a short embroidered word—“GRIP,” “PIP,” “FLIP,” “CLAP,” “TRIP,” or “CHIP”—adding a playful graphic element to the set. Rather than being anonymous utility pieces, these towels were created to bring beauty, color, and personality into the kitchen. They represent the idea that even ordinary domestic tasks could be surrounded by creativity and charm. The hand embroidery and animal imagery place this group within the tradition of folk art and handmade domestic textiles. Their decorative quality makes them particularly suitable for display: they can be layered over one another, hung individually, arranged on an open shelf, or incorporated into a curated kitchen textile grouping. They would also make a wonderful addition to a collection of vintage embroidered linens...

UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS PENNANT OF NOTABLE WEIGHT & QUALITY, IN THE OLD COLOR SCHEME, MADE DURING OR IN THE WAKE OF WWII Marine Corps pennant, made of heavy felt with a dark blue ground, with a flocked (Silvet-painted) device and lettering in harvest gold, with an applied, gold felt binding and blue felt ties. The colors used to represent the Marine Corps changed over time. Though the present combination of scarlet red and gold were formally adopted in 1925, American military traditions die hard, tending to be as difficult to extinguish as the men and women of their ranks. In this regard, the Corps was far from an exception. 14 years would, in fact, pass before the official change caught up with Marine Corps flags...
