The vintage christening gown is very decorative and is cotton with embroidered pattern. The child's dress is in a good condition apart from a rip at the back and there is another very small hole on the one sleeve. The gown measures around 20 inches across from end of sleeve to end of sleeve, the length is just is around 28 inches long.

Vintage Christening, Gown Night Gown 2 - SOLD

The second vintage christening gown is in a better condition with no rips or tears but there are a couple of very minor marks which should 'wash' out. They are that small that they are hardly worth mentioning and you would have to look for them. This is a very delicate gown and measures around 12 inches across the arms and around 32 inches in length.

Vintage Christening, Gown Night Gown 3 - SOLD
The third vintage night gown or christening robe is very delicate cream coloured gown and has some nice embroidery work in the shape of small flowers and garlands. There are some holes that would require attention and the largest is on the front as shown in the picture. The rest are smaller and apart from these this is a very ornate robe. The gown measures 10 inches across by around 28 inches long.

Vintage Christening, Gown Night Gown 4 - sold
The fourth vintage christening gown is in a nice condition with just a few very small signs of age. There's a small dark stain on the back near the bottom right hand side and a small patch where the material has worn thinner near the neck.

Vintage Christening, Gown Night Gown 5 - SOLD
The fifth christening gown or child's vintage night dress is in a good condition and measures 10 inches across, end of sleeve to end of sleeve. I cannot see any wrong with this one and this is a very nice cotton and lace vintage christening gown.

ANIMAL ZOO PUZZLE

This zoo puzzle for children contains a variety of animals made from wood and painted. This toy is old but not sure how old, I have owned it for the past 15 years. The wooden animal puzzle does show some signs of age but very little for a 'childrens' toy.Sadly, the snake is damaged but not beyond repair, it would require glueing together.

Childrens Toys, Zoo Puzzle

Theres a lable on the underneath and it says, 'Serendipity, Hand Made in Sri Lanka' and the wooden Zoo puzzle comes with original cardboard box.

IMPERIAL TYPEWRITER "THE GOOD COMPANION" VINTAGE COLLECTABLE

This is the second Imperial 'The Good Companion' typewriter I have owned in a very short time. This typewriter was named after B. Priestly's play of the same name and was a very popular typewriter. Even John Lennon owned and one, sadly not this one.

The one I have for sale this week is in an excellent condition with very little wear, just a couple of very slight marks here and there. The typewriter is in working order and even the ribbon has not dried out, although it would probable need replacing if you ever intended to use it.

This collectible typewriter still has the original manual that shows signs of age, some 'foxing' and corners are curled up Plus the original 'dusting' brush which again, shows some signs of age.
